The 'Water ~ Learning and Living' and 'Catchment Care' web pages have been developed by the Northern Adelaide & Barossa, Patawalonga, Torrens, River Murray and Onkaparinga Catchment Water Management Boards with support from the Environment Protection Agency. These organisations aim to improve water education across the catchments and the whole of South Australia.

These web pages are intended for use by all teachers from Reception to Year 12 in South Australian Schools who wish to teach about water-related issues and water management. They have been designed as an education ‘road map’ to provide the educator with resources, activities and contacts to relevant organisations making water and biodiversity education easy, and accessible at the touch of a button.

'Water ~ Learning and Living' was developed with input from teachers, the Curriculum Unit of the Department of Education, Training and Employment and Waterwatch officers.

The ’Catchment Care’ web pages complement ‘Water ~ Learning and Living’, and there are many shared resources. 'Catchment Care' is designed specifically to support the Our Patch/Catchment Care program offered by the Northern Adelaide and Barossa, Onkaparinga, Torrens and Patawalonga Catchment Water Management Boards. 'Catchment Care' also supports the delivery of the Waterwatch program. By using these resources teachers can develop a whole-of-school program that links ‘hands-on’ Our Patch/Catchment Care and Waterwatch activities to classroom learning. 'Catchment Care' was also developed with input from schools and the Curriculum Unit of the Department of Education, Training and Employment.
