This map shows the network of strategic community water supplies across Western Australia's dryland agricultural areas which provide an important source of emergency stock water during dry seasons.
These water supplies are for emergency use at times when low rainfall causes on-farm supplies to fail and forces farmers to travel outside their farm gate to collect water for livestock and other essential farming purposes.
It is important that these water supplies are carefully managed to ensure water is available during times of emergency.
We keep in regular contact with rural communities to monitor the condition of strategic community water supplies and identify and address any maintenance issues.
Refer to the Management of strategic community water supplies webpage for detailed maps of each site and local government strategic community water supply plans.
