Our Yarra

Education Tools

  • Floods Explorer
    Explore how showers and thunderstorms affect different people in different ways... reflect on individual action... learn who's responsible for what when there's a flood.
  • Drains to Our Waterways
  • Waterworks
    Web-based activities, to help students understand the value and management of water as an urban resource. Get under the skin of the water supply, stormwater and sewerage systems of a big city and play the game.
  • Home Water Investigator
    Water is our most precious natural resource and with the Home Water Investigator, you can build a comprehensive water usage report for your house.
  • ACE Trailer
    The Active Catchment Education Model (ACE) is an interactive model of an urban catchment available to help educate schools, businesses and community about stormwater and the impact it has on our rivers, creeks and bays. Materials representing common pollutants can be placed onto the scale model. A simulated rainstorm shows students what happens - they see water flowing over the landscape, picking up pollutants and washing it down stormwater drains into the waterways and bay.
  • Water - Learn It! Live It!
    A water conservation and education program for Victorian schools. This comprehensive program for both primary and secondary schools shows how schools can actively implement water conservation and water education across the curriculum, with the aim of reducing water consumption and improving water management across the school community.
  • Melbourne Water also run a number of Educational Tours.
