RAWT or Residents Against Water Theft is a collective of concerned residents who are sick of government inaction on the issue of water theft and have decided to come together and put a solid end to this despicable crime. For years, we have stood by and watched as our most precious natural resource is stolen from under our noses by organized crime outfits and a variety of 'Out of Towners'. We don't need to tell you how tiny daily allocations of water have now become -- therefore it is all the more important that we protect (with force if necessary) what little we have left.

RAWT also considers the 'wasting' of water and exceeding of allocations as water theft and a crime no less heinous.

This is why our mobile 'witnessers' are out in Sydney in force carrying out community measuring of suburban meters and filming breaches in order to shame and if possible encourage prosecution.

The government just isn't doing enough to make sure that everyone are sticking to their limits and the 'honesty policy' just doesn't cut it! If people like us who stick to the rules can only shower every two days then so should everyone!!!!

In terms of our effectiveness, our record speaks clearly for itself : over twenty water thieves shamed and countless more approached and made aware that we are watching them.

The big focus for RAWT however is with the big end of town and this is where we are now focusing the majority of our fighting energies! We have identified a number of target organizations that we consider to be engaged in corporate level water theft and organized water crime. The major target at the moment is the H20 Transport Group. Please take a look at the case we are building against H20 Transport Group and sign the online petition.

Thanks for visiting the RAWT site -- together we can make all of these water thieves (both suburban and corporate) accountable and make the sharing of water fairer for all.

We hope that you will take up the Challenge!
