Pipes and Drains
Playing in storm water pipes and drains is dangerous at any time of the year and there is a high risk of serious injury or drowning.
Pipes and drains can be very unpredictable as heavy rain fills them without warning.
A community awareness campaign, with advertisements tailored to both wet and dry seasons, has been launched to help young Territorians understand these dangers.
The key message "Use your brain, don't play in pipes and drains" is delivered by rapping frogs and aimed at children aged 7 to 15 years.
The campaign is an initiative of the Northern Territory Water Safety Advisory Council, in conjunction with the NT Government, Darwin City Council and Palmerston City Council.
