Join our community programs
Knowledge is key to sustainable water management. Our programs are designed to engage and inform the community. We offer everything from interactive pop-up events to educational sessions and guided tours.
Wonders of Water Discovery Team
Join our Wonders of Water Discovery Team and experience water through interactive games and activities. Our playful platypus Jila will help you understand how we make your water safe to drink, how cities around the world harvest their water resources, and how we recycle our water every day.
Invite us to your event
The Wonders of Water Discovery Team will share a range of interactive activities, educational quizzes and engaging interactive games. Jila would love you and your community to have the immersive Wonders of Water experience.
Think the Discovery Team could WoW your next community event? You'll never know unless you ask!
Find us at your next local event
We actively engage with our community at local events throughout the year, both with and without our Wonders of Water Discovery van. Whether at festivals, markets or gatherings, our team is on hand to share insights about water conservation and management.

Our team can come to you
Community pop-ups
We can come to you with or without our Wonders of Water Discovery Van.
Our Sydney Water Discovery Team can set up an engaging display about all things water – from where water comes from to how to conserve water in your home. We can customise our messaging to suit a variety of audiences. The free community pop-up display enables the community to drop in at a time that suits them, chat to one of our amazing Discovery Team members, and maybe even learn something new about water.
If you'd like us to come to your next community gathering, university, sporting match, concert, shopping centre or anything in between, email us at education@sydneywater.com.au.
Community information sessions
Did you know 85% of Greater Sydney's water comes from rainfall? With a growing population and climate change, it's time to think about water differently.
Book a free info session for your community group, and let's talk water:
- Learn about the urban water cycle.
- Discover water-saving tips and recycled water options.
- Understand our future goals.
We'll come to you – whether it's a TAFE class, Probus group, or any community gathering. To book your free community information session, email us at education@sydneywater.com.au.
Purified Recycled Water Discovery Centre tours
Our Purified Recycled Water Discovery Centre at Quakers Hill near Blacktown is the first of its kind in NSW. It gives the community the opportunity to see how purified recycled water (PRW) treatment technology works.
Learn more about PRW on a free 1-hour tour. We can host all sorts of small groups, including schools, universities/TAFE and community groups.
