At WaterNSW we are custodians of the state’s water, a vital natural resource. It is our responsibility to capture, store and deliver water, when and where it matters.
We operate the state’s dams like Warragamba Dam in Greater Sydney and Burrendong Dam in regional NSW, using our knowledge of nature, science and engineering. We then supply that water ready for distribution – for the environment, agriculture, industry and the community.
With 41 major dams and hundreds of waterways across the state, we play a vital role at the source of the state’s water, delivering two thirds of all water used in NSW. The water we supply supports more than 8 million people across NSW – it is used by regional towns, farmers, the environment and customers, like Sydney Water.
Every day we operate our assets and manage water responsibly to meet the needs of our customers and communities now, and into the future.
Since 2000, Water Technology has developed a reputation for delivering technically excellent and practically based services to Australia’s water, coastal and environmental sectors. From a foundation of advanced numerical modelling capability, we have developed a broad profile of specialised skills across all areas of water, coastal, natural hazard and environmental management. Our services cover a broad range, incorporating virtually every situation in which surface water interacts with the natural or built environment.
We deliver an integrated approach to surface water, groundwater and coastal management through our broad skill base of specialist engineers and scientists. Our staff combine technical excellence with practical knowledge. Our clients represent the full range of organisations concerned with the management of river and coastal environments encompassing both the public and private sectors.
We engage closely with clients and value communication as highly as technical rigour. We are passionately committed to improving water, coastal and environmental management, exemplified by our company purpose “to make a difference”.
Marinus Link is a new undersea and underground electricity and data interconnector between North West Tasmania and the Latrobe Valley in Victoria.
The two-way energy highway will enable Tasmania and Victoria to share much more electricity, pairing Victoria’s wind and solar with Tasmania’s flexible hydropower system and geographically diverse wind. This is a powerful synergy that strengthens the grid for both states.
Marinus Link's fibre optic cables will improve digital connectivity between Tasmania and Victoria by 150 times.
Marinus Link Pty Ltd (MLPL) is jointly owned by the Commonwealth of Australia, the State of Tasmania and the State of Victoria. MLPL is responsible for progressing the Marinus Link interconnector project.
