Teacher guide
Start here, this guide will give you the framework for the lesson, including how to use all the resources.
Water Literacy Overview
Water literacy is the knowledge of water and how it is managed, and how human actions affect water. It also includes understanding the environmental and human dimensions of water systems.
Water literacy at this age includes; the importance of water conservation, what water is, where you find it, why you need it, the water cycle, where your tap water comes from, and a basic understanding that water is cleaned (treated) before it is safe for drinking.
The purpose of our Water Guardians program is to increase general water literacy in Tasmania, reinforced with a teacher guide that is linked to the Australian curriculum.
From content to illustrations, this program is all about water in the Tasmanian context. Enjoy!

Since creation, the palawa have lived here in lutruwita - Tasmania. Over 2,000 generations of Aboriginal families have cared for this Country, looking after its lands, seas, skies and waterways.
In the spirit of respect and gratitude, TasWater acknowledges the Tasmanian Aboriginal community as the traditional and ongoing custodians. We pay our respects to them, their culture and to elders past and present. We also acknowledge any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are here with us today.
TasWater commits to working collaboratively and respectfully with the Tasmanian Aboriginal community to protect and sustain the precious resources on this ancient land for future generations.
