As a community, we value our rivers and creeks and consider them to be important environmental and recreational assets. However this was not always the case in the past.​

Protect your local waterway with our Waterwatch citizen science programs: count frogs, platypus or waterbugs, test water quality or take part in litter action.

A model is usually needed during the design of stormwater treatments to help determine the appropriate size and design configuration, and prove that it meets minimum planning requirements.

Melbourne Water provides legislated flood protection, drainage and waterway protection services that seek to ensure the community of Melbourne is protected and resilient from our climate change future.
