Co-designing a resilient water-energy toolbox with Indigenous communities

其目的是合作创建一个工具箱，为澳大利亚偏远地区的水和能源管理提供创新的、以社区为基础的方法。该项目将结合数字和文化方法，创造一套经过测试和评估的新工具，让社区和服务提供者参与改变偏远土著社区的水和能源使用做法。关键的产出将是经过经验检验和便于用户使用的水-能源工具箱，以减少目前向偏远社区提供基本服务的极端成本。这些产出的应用将大大减少对当地水源和柴油能源使用的需求，同时为当地就业机会创造技能基础。

The aim is to collaboratively create a toolbox of innovative, community-based approaches for water and energy management in remote Australia. This project will combine digital and cultural approaches to create a novel set of tested and evaluated tools for engaging both community and service providers in transforming water and energy use practises in remote Indigenous communities. The key output will be an empirically-tested and user friendly water-energy toolbox tailored to reduce the currently extreme cost of supplying essential services to remote communities. Application of these outputs will significantly reduce demand on local water sources and diesel-generated energy use while creating a skill base for local employment opportunities.
