The initiative
Nulkaba Educational Preschool is an early learning-based program that wants to teach children the value of water. With extended periods of drought and a devastating bushfire season, Paul Turner, the business operations manager, wants to set up a proactive learning opportunity for children and educators. An engineering area will be set up that features a water pump, dry creek bed, boat bridge and music wall which will be plumbed in through five 1000L water tanks. This will provide educators with the facilities to develop a water management program for the children. The area will also feature 10 SOURCE Hydropanels — a new type of air-to-water technology. The technology uses sunlight and air to clarify water, creating a supply of drinking water without any other input. These facilities will provide Nulkaba educators with tools to teach children how to correctly use, manage and respect water, and ensure there’s no wastage.
