The Australia market study, commissioned by the Consulate-General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Sydney and executed by the Netherlands Water Partnership (NWP) in cooperation with the University of New South Wales, has revealed several promising opportunities for the Dutch water sector in Australia.

Australia faces a range of water-related challenges, including changes in hydrology due to climate change, droughts, periodic heavy rainfall and flooding events, impacts of bushfires on water quantity and quality, and rising sea levels in coastal areas. Effective water management strategies and adaptation measures are essential to address these challenges, ensure water security in the country, and protect coastal communities and ecosystems.

Opportunities for the Dutch water sector

The opportunities for the Dutch water sector are in the field of addressing water scarcity and flood challenges, advancing agriculture and horticulture, providing urban water management solutions, and enhancing water governance and circularity in the mining sector.

The Australia market scan gives a detailed overview of the water-related challenges and opportunities in the Australian water sector, as well as the opportunities for the Dutch water sector. Dutch water actors interested in or working in Australia can download the scan on this webpage.
