Waterwise Systems® has undertaken ten years of extensive research into how to reduce garden water use to sustainable levels.

The founders carefully researched the implications of greywater reuse in urban areas and developed strategies to achieve stunning looking gardens and big water savings while protecting the environment. This on the ground research and development program has provided the necessary knowledge for Waterwise Systems® to offer solid greywater information and educational resources to industry, the community and government, which the organisation has been actively doing for the past five years.

Waterwise Systems® has a strong commitment to greywater education and is particularly interested in developing community education programs that promote safe greywater reuse, and provide the community with all the necessary tools to reuse their greywater safely while achieving outstanding horticultural outcomes.

For example in:

• Perth just over 50% of all water consumed by households is used on gardens and this has resulted in the government building two desalination plants, with devastating results for the environment.
• Sydney in 2006, under stage 3 water restrictions, 20% of homes used 500,000 litres or more on their gardens each year.
• Melbourne over the last decade an estimated top 300,000 consumption households have used a disproportionate amount of water on their gardens which has cost the other 1,400,000 million householders around 109,500,000,000 litres of drinking water per year.
