Where do we get our best value for each megalitre of precious water?
As we get more climate change, we are likely to have more extreme weather events, more droughts and more floods. Over all the predictions by most responsible climate scientists are that fresh water will decrease and Australia will be one of the hardest hit countries. Also as our human population increases, our need for water will increase. We must ask these questions.
This week I have been attending an internationally attended conference on Contamination Cleanup, Eco Forum and Industry Summit. I am really enjoying the industry summit where the audience is much more participatory rather than just listening to presented papers and having 2 or 3 questions at the end of each. People are getting very involved which is great to hear.
http://www.ecoforum.net.au the Contamination CleanUp 07 Conference in Adelaide this June will explore the science and engineering related to contaminated site assessment and remediation, the focus of the Industry Summit will be on the policies, structuring, regulation, risk management, insurance, financing and acquisition issues that impede or make the industry operate.
EcoForum aims to facilitate the development and growth of the waste water and waste management industry. It is aimed at providing the means, by which the industry can better group, collaborate and communicate with each other, the community and all levels of government. That is the gap needs to be filled.
The conference is part of a new association which is about bringing together people with like interests to network, build capacity, exchange ideas and further the science and technology surrounding the prevention, removal and remediation of the pollution of air, land and water.
I think the organizers are doing a great job and congratulations to Paul Howlett, David Bates and his QUITZ group, Dr Peter Nadebaum and others involved.
