Seqwater explains demand management - options to manage water demand
This video explains demand management and options to manage water demand.
Our water can come from a range of sources.
Demand management takes pressure off the bulk drinking water supply and can potentially defer the need for a new water source.
No single water supply option can meet South East Queensland’s long-term water security needs. As a community, we need to consider our demand for water, the water supply options available to us and the way we operate the SEQ Water Grid.

Seqwater explains: How gated dams work
Our dams provide a safe, secure and cost-effective water supply, as well as help to mitigate floods. When rain fills a dam, the excess water is passed through the spillway into the creek or river it is built on.
Seqwater explains: How un-gated dams work
In South East Queensland, we source our drinking water predominantly from dams, which collect and store run-off rainwater from our catchments. Most of these dams are un-gated.
