water recycling
Water recycling is an essential part of maintaining a reliable, sustainable and safe water supply for Western Australia. Increasing the amount of water that is recycled is crucial to managing our precious drinking water resources efficiently and making the most of our wastewater resource that is often 'wasted water'. We have recently raised the funds through our many community projects such as school swap meets, and with the help of government initiatives we have been able install a recycled water system at our school.
Recycled water is usually treated wastewater which is further treated to varying qualities that is “fit for purpose” for its intended use. Within our school campus we are now capable of using the recycled water for things such as watering the grounds and flushing all toilets.
Through these few adjustments to our water use within the school, we will hopefully be able to drastically reduce the amount of scheme water we are using. we aim to achieve a 50% reduction over the next 12 months. This will be of enourmous benefit to both our school(large savings in water costs) and the community as a whole.

seawater desalination
The Perth Seawater Reverse Osmosis Plant is opened in November 2006. Since that, WA has become the first state in Australia to use desalination as a main source of public water, and this was just the beginning. Because of the drying climate in Australia, the Water Corporation of WA is actively developing more different options to meet daily growing demands, that makes building a second SWRO facility a serious project to be considered.
The plant is located at Kwinana, a suburb about 25km south of the Perth city. As the largest of the same kind in the southern hemisphere and the most powerful in the world by renewable energy, the Perth Seawater Reverse Osmosis has an initial capacity of 140,000m³/day with designed expansion to 250,000m³/day. Ultimately supplying 17% of Perth’s needs, the plant will be the largest single supplier to this city's integrated water. Scilicet, the plant provides 45 GL/year of water to help serve the 1.5 million population.

It is good for our school to sign a contract with the Water Corporation, who can provide us non-drinking water by seawater desalination.We can also use recycling water to do some cleaning work.
