About Wanda the Water Warrior

Wanda the Water Warrior is on a mission to educate and inspire young Australians about water and its importance here in Australia, the driest inhabited continent in the world.  

Through Wanda’s adventures and storytelling, she transports children to pivotal moments in Australian history, such as the Millennium Drought, and introduces innovative solutions like desalination and water recycling, demystifying these concepts in a way that is informative and engaging for young minds.  

Through the ‘Wanda the Water Warrior’ children’s book and other fun downloadable activities and resources, Wanda shares her wisdom to educate and inspire children and support their water literacy and education journey, as they learn that every drop of water counts and that simple actions can make a big difference.

Every one of us can be a ‘Water Warrior’ after all!
