Water for wellbeing in sports grounds
Water is critical for keeping our sports grounds healthy so Boorloo (Perth) is a great place to live. Water helps keep these areas playable, and cool during hot summers. Watering sports grounds from alternative sources like groundwater helps protect our valuable drinking water.

Water for wellbeing in our sports grounds:
  • Sports grounds are great places to exercise and socialise. They keep us healthy, involved in our community, and connected with friends and family.
  • Irrigating our sports grounds is also important for cooling the local area during hot summers.
  • Sports grounds need smart approaches to watering to keep them safe and playable, while still being waterwise.
  • Most of our sports grounds are irrigated with groundwater but this source is being affected by climate change.
