Intelligent Water Networks (IWN) Program
IWN is a membership-based program of VicWater established some 15 years ago. It’s members consist of all the Victorian Urban Water Corporations, TasWater and the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA).
IWN also provides opportunities for the sector’s emerging leaders through the IWN Champions Program.
IWN’s Programs deliver operationally ready innovative solutions to water sector challenges by bridging the gap between research outcomes and industry application via a robust trial and pilot methodology and a network of global partners.
Water Minister’s Climate Innovation Challenge
The 2026 Water Minister’s Climate Innovation Challenge has now closed.
The Challenge – now in its fourth year – continues to drive bold, practical climate action across the Victorian water sector, whether by reducing carbon emissions, conserving water, cutting waste, or developing new ways to adapt to the changing climate.
