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

其目的是在偏远的澳大利亚合作创建一个创新的、以社区为基础的水和能源管理方法的工具箱。该项目将把数字方法和文化方法结合起来，创建一套新的经过测试和评估的工具，让社区和服务提供者参与改变偏远土著社区的用水和能源使用做法。主要成果将是一个经过经验检验和用户友好的水能工具箱，该工具箱旨在降低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产生的能源的需求，同时为当地就业机会创造一个技能基础。

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.
