WA Water Resources: how will we meet our needs now and into the future?

The WA water industry is having to do more with less. A drying climate in the south west, coupled with a growing population, are placing increasing demands on our water resources. At the same time, weak economic conditions make it difficult to raise funds and resources for capital projects. Practitioners in the sector are having to develop clever ways to deliver quality water services within tight allocation limits. Similarly, the industry needs to explore creative approaches to the funding of water infrastructure. Regulation in the sector needs to strike a balance between fostering innovation to solve problems, while limiting risks to customers and government.

Attendees can look forward to hearing six experts discuss strategies for allocating water in a drying climate, funding of projects, and regulation, followed by networking and refreshments.
