Water Sector Study - Australia

The main goal of this water scan is to give an overview of the Australian water sector, its challenges and the corresponding opportunities for the Dutch water sector. At the same time, this market scan also aims to assist the General Consulate of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Australia in engaging with the Dutch water sector to stimulate cooperation between Dutch and Australian stakeholders working with water.
As in many other places in the world, the effects of climate change are strongly felt in Australia. Related to these the marketscan identifies opportunities for the water sector, especially in the sectors of agri- and horticulture, and in water scarcity and flood management. Smaller opportunities for the DSW might lie in solutions for urban heat stress, water governance, and circularity in the mining sector.
