The History of the Water Supply in Sydney
CONTENTS
For The Water Project, the question that we have been trying to answer through our research will be – How has Australia’s water supply changed from the Tank Stream to today?

In order to complete our research, we have conducted interviews, surveys and constructed two models – the water system of 1879 and the water system of today. We have also conducted a comparative study which represents what we have learnt about our topic. After going on a study we wrote out our information set out as a report found in a scientific magazine.

We also interviewed some of our elders to see how the water system was different while they were growing up. At Bondi Beach we were also be able to see the old pipes and sewerage system which we managed to take photos and samples from. We got a chance to interview the people working at Vaucluse House and asked them how they used to get their water. By browsing through our web page, you will hopefully be able to find out a lot of information about the water supply by looking at our various pages and graphs. Feel free to browse!
