Icon Water is working with one of Australia’s leading science facilities to promote water sustainability. 

Icon Water is working with experts at the Questacon science museum, sponsoring a new living coral aquarium exhibit, which aims to demonstrate how essential it is to be releasing clean water into the environment. 

The partnership between Icon Water and Questacon will enable an annual one-week water-themed education program for the next three years. This program will offer hands-on activities for visitors to explore the importance of water sustainability and management in the ACT. The first edition of this program will be held later in 2021. 

“It’s essential that we continue to work together with our younger generations to demonstrate the immense long-term benefits of protecting our water systems. Allowing kids and families to learn through science experiments and discussions with water experts at Questacon will have a lasting positive impact,” Icon Water Managing Director Ray Hezkial said

Questacon Director Professor Graham Durant says the facility is “proud to partner with Icon Water to share a message that healthy reefs start with healthy rivers and healthy rivers are everyone’s business”.

“The living coral aquarium is a significant installation at Questacon that was set up with the help of experts at the Australian Institute of Marine Science through their work with the National Sea Simulator. It showcases the importance of healthy waterways to the ongoing survival of the world’s coral reefs,” she said.

The partnership was formed under Icon Water’s Community Support Program.
