Introduction
Sustainable water and energy management is the driving role of a nation that adapts quick
innovation and strategy to build better impact over the counties framework. These are the
environmental accounts that take the demographical transition to the effective base of the
country. Water has the highest value as the most risk orientation is depended on the availability
of this environmental product. Natural water sustainability is the key underpinning function that
provides infrastructural necessities and improves the quality of electricity, business, and artificial
powers.
In this report water and energy sustainability is being discussed and analyzed in
comparing to Australia and Saudi Arabia. The approach and incorporated factors regarding this
issues and government interventions for this process may surface the appropriate comparison of
these factors. Technical innovations and evaluation process from non-governmental sector also
make the difference in project implementation and these are also being discussed in this report.
Governmental Regulation over energy and water sustainability
The Australian government has taken certain initiation to make sustainable
conservation of natural resource in Australia. Water reformation is one such achievement that
Australian government has done in recent days. Murray-Darling Basin plan is the sustaining
mannerism of ecological function in Australian water reformation (Grafton and Horne 2014).
Commonwealth water and environmental progression is the major helping process that provides
sustainable future generation of ensuring healthy strong community, power impacts, rivers and
food and fiber productions that provides the utmost clearance in the environment. Environment

Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act is being implemented in a revised way so that
strategic assessment form this act determine the impactful condition to sustain those natural
waters and energy resources. There are several indigenous programs in Australia that invest
maximum achievements and fulfill the developmental change in Australian environmental and
economic indicators. In this act, the proposed urban development has been done where six new
suburbs have been streamlined and facilities are delivered to the 13000 homes. In case of energy
conservation and making good opportunities for the future, a certain process like QVMAG
Museum where the reduced energy consumption has been proceeding and those facilities are
used by the government for the further understanding (atse.org.au 2017). Heating and cultivation,
radiant heater control all these are expected to save the electricity as well as the power
consumption for the development of the nation for future implementation. Through all this,
estimated process water can be saved by 15,400 KL per year and almost 425,000kWh energy can
be saved in a year (Alshuwaikhat et al. 2017). This saved energy and water are the form of good
resource for the better fixtures and conditions.
On the other hand, Saudi Arabia Government has aimed for the better energy
installation and concern over the future energy sustainable condition that may enrich their
productiveness in power and natural resource accumulation. There is some technological
assistance also used for this mentioned development, however, the implementation of policy and
innovative thinking of adjusting the installation process enhance the quality and role of the
process. WFES 2017 is the new master plan of Saudi Arabia that impact over the solar and wind
process and resultant on the energy and water viability in Saudi Arabia (Thejaps.org.pk 2017).
Energy trading and ventures are under this plan and that generated electricity and commits the
Independent power purchase to provide huge opportunity in the national economy. UAE solar

innovation process is another process for maintaining the energy conservation and support the
strategic implementation of the nation (Grindle, Siddiqi and Anadon 2015).
Scientific research and technological innovations
In case of Australia, research techniques and innovations are being introduced to
maintain this process of sustainability of water and energy process. Green Growth is a productive
process of water sustainability that provides the consumption of non-renewable energy and
continues the use of high-value use. In the aspect of climatic change and estimated population is
a concern this strategic change in Australia must enhance the demographical and exponential
growth of the nation. Australian agricultural activity is depended on the water usefulness and this
management innovation can serve the advancement in technological aspect and water supply and
distribution throughout the country. Annual renewable water resource form this innovative
implementation figured as 400,000 GL which has been used in manufacturing products, mining
sections, urban distribution, agriculture and other issues (Brookes and Carey 2015). R & D
innovation program is a technological implementation that provides increased productivity and
mitigates the environmental changes and restores the useful resources. Installation of low energy
high-efficiency pumping, groundwater extraction, and monolayer based evaporation reservoir,
harvest storm-water, bio-filter stormwater, territory waste water all these are the supply and
treatment process that ensures the highest value of the nation by implementing those
technological impacts.
On the other hand, Saudi Arabia has implemented the government leads plan
KAPSARC which revised the climate research method and advances the energy efficiency in
global development and aim to lead in the energy market. Technological enhancement like CCS

is the major renewable process that created for the development of UAE structural framework.
There are certain Saudi universities who have indulged in this process of power and resource
gathering where the technical implementation and scientific amalgamation of blending are quite
helpful for the development of the country (Ouda 2014). The nation has the potential of
converting their oil into gas and energy generation however for the change in the environmental
and economic section they have to confront this strategic scientific implementation and
technological invention.
Initiative took from Non-government organization
There are different nongovernmental organizations in Australia who have worked on the
best viability of water and power conservation. Water efficiency and the supply of groundwater
and capturing the rainwater form stadium roof and applied them in toilet ground is the purpose to
mitigate the water effect and sanitation cleaning process. Australian Lutheran World Service,
Action Aid Australia, Act for Peace- National Council of Churches Australia all these are the
nongovernmental organization and they have the good involvement in this process of
acceleration in water and energy viability (Jones 2014). From the implementation of new
innovations, daily consumption of water has dropped down in an emphatic manner in different
sections. Inver may park tank is being used in this process and 60,000 liters of water has been
stored. Possible movement in the fluorescent tube or the change in LED lights is the concern
alteration that has also mitigate the energy expenses and conserve the energy in a good manner
(Ghaffour, Missimer and Amy 2013). The annual energy consumption has been reduced to the
100,000kWh per year by the implementation of new strategic changes and technological
assistance.

In case of Saudi Arabia, development and estimation of nongovernmental organization
and their effective indulge situation in the contemporary process of sustainability can provide the
strong recommendation in this prospect. The nongovernmental organization like Human Rights
Watch, International Islamic Relief Organization, al-Haramain Foundation all these working on
the estimating requirement of power and water usage (Marchettini et al. 2014). This is the way of
help generation that these organizations have done and implementing the innovation system and
provides the best possible way to sustain water and energy in their nation.
Projects Exemplar
Australian projects like Eco Smart Biz, Community engagement process to provide
knowledge about the water and power conservation, different collaboration process to assist the
safe and secure water extraction is the wider settlement of innovative programs
(environment.gov.au 2017). The Green Effective plan is the kind of exemplar project that
provide the operation energy and power of sustainability in water and power section for the
implemented strategic change and impose session.
On the other hand, Saudi Arabian projects have provided relative strength in mechanism
and explore the possible reinforce to the improvement of water and energy viability. The
changing process of PV module or the HYSOLAR programs is the creating mannerism that can
influence the contribution to the natural resources as well (saudi.gov.sa 2017). In case of
exemplar discussion the natural reservoir of water conservations like Saq-Ram, Wajid aquifer is
the main source of sustainability of water. Distillation of water pipes and the intervention of the
technical aspects are the discursive mart of fulfilling the sustainable criteria. In case of the

establishment, the right way of renewable energy sources and the natural water effectiveness
with the power of research and technical assistance enhance the process.
Conclusion
The potential change in water energy and change in the environmental demographic
process are featuring the landscape for the efficient measure extension for the sustainable
condition of the nation. Water Demand Management and the wise consumption of significant
irrational use of water is the application process of convinced measure and educating the
judicious use of awareness. If the use of power consumption and wastewater controlling has been
done in an effective way then the problem from these issues may be mitigated and urbanized area
controlling by supplying water will be more specific and well under control. The issues are same
for the Saudi Arabia, as the country has enough demand regarding the oil mines thus the
controlling energy through the process and use of that energy for the development of nation and
to build more natural water sustainability for the economic, social and environmental efficiency
is relevant and important as well for the development of the world.
