The Aquadam Project – A Bold Solution to Australia’s Water Crisis

Project Overview (Pdf)

Smart water project developed by Unique Planet. This project is focused on constructing an innovative large-scale freshwater collection and storage system. By utilising renewable energy and collecting water from multiple sources, Aquadams will have the potential to supply a greater quantity of freshwater to Australia’s ever-increasing population and are planned to take over the current role of inefficient river-based dams.

The project has received interest from the CSIRO department of Manufacturing & Infrastructure Technology in Victoria, Griffith University Gold Coast campus, and several other companies and organisations involved in the water industry. We have also had general discussions with individuals in the farming and mining industries who are interested in receiving freshwater supply from the Aquadam.

It is imperative that Australia rises to the challenge of securing our precious water resource. Councils and governments must search for better long-term solutions for guaranteeing the supply of more freshwater to the population, rather than restricting the current supply.
