Melbourne Water has developed the Biodiversity Conservation Action Plan (BCAP) 2024–2028 to guide biodiversity protection across the Port Phillip and Western Port region.

Flood hazard classifications help us understand floodwaters’ potential for harm and property damage, based on their behaviour – like depth and speed.

At Melbourne Water, we manage trees and vegetation at our reservoirs, along pipe tracks and across our catchments.

Melbourne Water manages our rivers, creeks, and catchments, including large areas of land to support the function of the water supply and sewer network. Illegal rubbish dumping can sometimes occur on Melbourne Water land.

Flood risk in any area depends on how often flooding occurs, how deep and fast floodwater flows and how it impacts people, homes, and infrastructure.

Learn about Melbourne's history through its water - from pre-colonial creeks and rivers to the early days of sewage treatment and reservoirs.

Bushfires in our catchments impact the quality and quantity of our water supplies. We play a critical role in protecting Melbourne's drinking water from bushfires.

The simple act of putting your litter in the bin or taking it home can make a big difference in keeping Melbourne’s waterways clean and healthy.
