Sports clubs across Brisbane paying high water charges to keep their fields green can access grants of up to $5000 to help ease the cost, Brisbane City Council has announced.

Lord mayor Adrian Schrinner at Tuesday's council meeting said the council was aware many sporting clubs were struggling in the lead-up to the summer sports season to keep their fields operational.

The water rebate will be capped at $5000 for each eligible club as a one-off financial support for 50 per cent of the retail water charges in this financial year.

"At this moment you go anywhere in the city and you can see on a regular basis dry sporting fields," Cr Schrinner said.
