Adapting to Climate Change

Melbourne Water has always contended with climate variability and the natural extremes of our weather – droughts, bushfires and floods. With climate change, these extremes may become worse and more unpredictable. Planning must take this into account.

Climate change research underpins everything we do in response to climate change.

Here are some of the areas likely to be affected by climate change and what we can do about it:

• Water supply
• Sewerage system
• Drainage and floods
• River health
