Goldfields Water Supply Scheme
The Goldfields Water Supply Scheme is a major infrastructure project in Western Australia designed to provide a reliable water supply to the Goldfields region. Initiated in the early 20th century, it involves a series of pipelines, reservoirs, and treatment facilities that transport water from the Swan River and other sources to areas with limited water access.
The scheme was crucial for supporting the mining industry and population growth in the region. It has undergone several upgrades over the years to improve efficiency and capacity, ensuring that communities in the Goldfields can meet their water needs sustainably.
