WA’s Water Future (Water Recycling) Forum 18 March 2008

When: Tuesday 18th March 2008 9am – 5pm
Where: The University Club of Western Australia, Hackett Drive, Nedlands
Registrations close: Monday 17th March

Western Australia is one of the hottest and driest places on earth. Securing a sustainable water source is one of the most urgent challenges facing our state. A number of potential solutions to WA’s water situation have been offered including one of the more divisive, already being adopted in other states, to recycle our wastewater. Is wastewater recycling the solution to our State’s future water needs? What targets should we, the Western Australian community, be looking to reach in the next 20 years in relation to using treated wastewater? How do we reach this target?

The Conservation Council of Western Australia with the support of the Water Corporation will bring together community, government, industry and scientists to discuss Western Australia’s future water needs and address the debate surrounding one proposed solution to our water crisis to recycle wastewater. Speakers will consider the complexities, strengths and weaknesses associated with wastewater recycling with all participants given an opportunity to engage with critical ideas and seek solutions to influence the direction of sustainable outcomes for water, for both the environment and for human use, in the future.
