"When it rains, stormwater runs down surfaces like streets and parking lots and
into drains. Most of the time, we see it as a problem because it can cause
floods. Recent storms across eastern Australia created huge amounts of
stormwater and flooding.

At such times, stormwater is seen as a problem. But it’s also the last untapped
source of water available for cities.

We all know how important it is to have enough water for our needs. But did you
know our growing cities might struggle to get enough clean water in future?

Stormwater is a hidden treasure, and we’re not making the most of it."
