John Ruprecht – Department of Water
Climate change and Perth’s urban water future
The key challenges facing urban water managers include understanding climate change scenarios, developing responsive and flexible policy frameworks and best management practices for land and water management. We need to determine the relative design and management approaches according to changes in rainfall frequencies and temperature. Does our current approach to urban water management fit current climate change predictions. What is required to ‘future proof’ Perth?
Engineers Australia (EA), the Stormwater Industry Association (SIA) and the Australian Water Association (AWA), invite you to the 6th International Water Sensitive Urban Design conference. This conference builds on a highly successful series of conferences held across Australia since 2000 and particularly the SIA hosted Hydropolis conference held in Perth in October 2006.
You can become an active part in this event by presenting a paper, running a workshop, exhibiting at or sponsoring the Conference.
