South Australia, Department for Environment and Water

The Department for Environment and Water (DEW) is involved in managing South Australia's natural resources including the areas of water security, climate change, sustainable land management, public estate management and biodiversity conservation. In doing this we collect and provide information and knowledge about the State's environment. DEW provides data and practical advice to government, industry and communities to achieve productive and balanced use of natural resources and to help improve the condition and resilience of our natural systems.
