Community Water Conservation Program Guide

This guide has been developed for the agencies responsible for implementing and further developing a Community Water Ranger (CWR) program in the Northern Territory.

The program is in its design phase, and hence this guide is a working document, and will be updated and improved by monitoring and evaluating pilot or pre-testing phases of the CWR program.

The guide contains guidance to CWR project managers on how to establish, support and operate a Community Water Ranger program, including (i) program objectives; (ii) approaches for achieving water savings; (iii) structure of the program, including governance, roles and responsibilities; (iv) methods to provide orientation, support and empower employees; (v) training; (vi) project management tools; (vii) monitoring and evaluation methods; and (viii) detailed instructions and tools for the activities (daily tasks) that CWRs would perform.
