The Be Groundwater Wise campaign, to be run by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation, sees Ms Hahn provide a range of tips on how domestic garden bore owners can make simple adjustments to maintain a wonderful, waterwise garden in a drying climate.
Tips include advice on how to use your home reticulation better, how to care for your soil and what plants to use.
Be Groundwater Wise is part of the WA Government’s Kep Katitjin-Gabi Kaadadjan (Waterwise Perth action plan 2) to establish leading waterwise communities for Boorloo (Perth) and Bindjareb (Peel) by 2030.
