Ideas to engage water users on site and create water wise culture

Behavioural change is an essential step in developing a water-efficient organisation. With increased awareness on the value of our water resources, business owners and managers have the ability to influence behaviours by educating staff and customers on site. This will assist in achieving water conservation goals for the business and educating the community while also reducing operating costs for the business.

Awareness programs, education and training are key tools to influence water use behaviours and help you reduce water consumption within your business. These initiatives need to target all water users on site, including staff, contractors and customers. The success of implementing water saving measures on your site will rely on the commitment of staff and your ability to incorporate water efficiency into the organisation’s culture.
 

We recommend five key steps to help educate water users in your business

  1. Establish a water management team
  2. Engage onsite staff
  3. Engage onsite customers and other water users
  4. Communicate with site visitors on a regular basis
  5. Contact us for assistance in developing tools to educate users
