Climate change and the frequency and veracity of extreme events in the recent past and foreseeable future in particular have precipitated our need to consider alternative water sources at a faster pace than before.  Different water sources have now become an integral part of water supply schemes. 

Bring your strategic and technical experts along to this online workshop to drive the research agenda and prioritise WaterRA’s research activities on the following topics:

1. Exploring challenges and opportunities around the use of alternative water sources
   
   •  Purified Recycled Water
     What are our current technical challenges in regard to:
     • Regulation
     • Source monitoring
     • Chemical Contaminants
     • Treatment Validation
       
   • Stormwater 
     What are our current technical challenges in regard to:
     • Guidelines
     • Source monitoring
     • Chemical Contaminants
     • Treatment processes
       
   • Desalination
     What are our current technical challenges in regard to:
     • Membrane technology
     • Validation
     • Challenge testing
     • Chemical contaminants
     • Fouling
     • Regulation /discharges
