Talking about water in regional South Australia: Share insights in to your water use and needs!
How big a role does water play in your life and lifestyle? How do you use water and what are your water needs? Do you think about how much water you use daily? The Plug-in would like to invite you to take part in our newest research project to talk about your needs, usage, and attitudes to water in your local area.
This project will help us learn more about how water access and use affect older Australians in regional areas. The findings will be used for advocacy and will help COTA SA and government develop policies and services that better meet the needs of older South Australians.
Why should you take part?
Your insights are important to help us to discover the issues relating to accessing and using water, understand environmental considerations, and to explore ideas that will achieve better outcomes for water supply and service. This is an opportunity to have your say about how water access and use affects your life.
