The ACT ATSE Division presents a hybrid seminar on an Australian context to managing our scarce water resources.

As the driest continent and faced by future variability under climate change, Australia needs a capacity to adapt and optimise reserves and usage in a water constrained current and future environment.

In this seminar session, Dr Flapper will explore the context of Australia’s perceived water crisis through context drivers and shifting realities and consider our capacity to adapt and respond.

Dr Akeroyd will present a solutions focussed approach based on building on past experience to support sustainability through collective responsibility and cross-sector and transdisciplinary innovation.

This event is open to all.
