This World Water Day, we shine a light on researchers at the IWF who are spearheading critical work to improve drinking water quality in regional and remote Australia.
The third La Niña year in a row intensified existing droughts in the Americas, while causing floods in parts of Asia and Oceania, according to a first-of-its-kind report released today by the Global Water Monitor Consortium, led by researchers at ANU.
IWF researchers find that Australians in more than 400 remote or regional communities lack access to good-quality drinking water, while about eight per cent of Australia’s population is not included in reporting on access to clean water, according to a recent study.
