National Water Week inspires individuals, education providers, communities and organisations to work together to build community awareness and understanding of water-related issues.  Access to clean water is hugely important to our daily lives. It’s up to all of us to protect our water environments and resources and use water wisely.

2025 National Water Week theme: Water Heroes: Save Every Drop

This year’s theme highlights the importance of individual and collective action in protecting our water resources. As our climate becomes hotter and drier, and demand for water increases, it’s more important than ever to use water wisely. This theme encourages students to see themselves as everyday heroes— people who make small, positive choices that add up to big impacts. Whether it’s turning off the tap, having short showers, or spreading awareness, every action helps. By becoming Water Heroes, students can lead by example and inspire their families, schools, and communities to value and conserve every drop.

Students can digitally design, draw or paint a poster that demonstrates the changes they can make to ensure there is always water for all.
