This project aims to produce new understandings of both the historical drivers of today’s urban water systems, and how these systems have impacted on human and ecological welfare. This will be achieved through the first integrated and comparative historical study of the provision, use and cultures of water in Australia’s five largest cities from 1900 to the present. Such historical knowledge is critical at a time when the water systems of Australia’s largest cities are under growing pressure from environmental change and population growth. Project findings will inform the development of policies and practices that produce sustainable, equitable urban water systems.

该项目旨在对当今城市水系统的历史驱动力以及这些系统如何影响人类和生态福利产生新的理解。这将通过对澳大利亚五个最大城市从1900年到现在的水的供应、使用和文化的第一次综合和比较历史研究来实现。在澳大利亚最大城市的供水系统受到环境变化和人口增长的压力越来越大的时候，这种历史知识是至关重要的。项目结果将为制定政策和做法提供信息，以建立可持续、公平的城市供水系统。
