Wastewater Recycling - the Future of Water in WA? Western Australia is one of the hottest and driest places on Earth. As we come to the end of another hot and dry summer the issue of how we will secure a sustainable water source for this State is becoming increasingly urgent.
One possible solution to WA’s water situation is to recycle our wastewater. This solution, already being adopted in other states, remains divisive within the WA community for a number of reasons.
The February Environment Matters will look at WA’s existing sources of water, our current use of wastewater and address a number of concerns about impacts on public health and the environment. The multiple issues that surround groundwater replenishment, aquifer recharge and wastewater discharge into the environment will also be addressed.
This is an opportunity to find out more about wastewater recycling and contribute to a sustainable water future for Western Australia. Speakers include:
Steven McKiernan, Water Policy Officer, Conservation Council of WA
Nick Turner, Water Corporation, The Beenyup Groundwater Replenishment Trial
Jane Bremmer, Alliance for a Clean Environment, Risks to the Public When: Wednesday 25th February 2009 @ 7.30pm When: City West Lotteries House, 2 Delhi St, West Perth, WA, 6005 RSVP: Tuesday 24th February for catering purposes to conswa@conservationwa.asn.au or phone the Council on 9420 7266.
