National Water Week
National Water Week is hosted by the Australian Water Association and promoted locally by Aqwest, by encouraging individuals, communities, schools and organisations to be inspired to promote the importance of water. National Water Week 2025 runs from 20 to 26 October.
Water Night
Water Night is a nationwide collective event, dedicated to water awareness and literacy. Held during National Water Week, from 5pm to 10pm on Thursday 23 October, the event challenges all of Australia to turn off their taps.
Water Night is a FREE event and simple to participate in. The only challenge is to keep the taps off for the duration. Utilising water for hygiene, drinking and religious purposes is permitted.
Participation in Water Night has been shown to increase water literacy, helping people value tap water more and in turn use it wisely.
Are you a School participating in Water Night?
Water Night is a fantastic opportunity to engage your school community in climate-oriented action by pledging to turn off water taps for one night of the year.
Aqwest will award prizes for the top three schools locally with the most percentage of students who register to turn off their taps.
