UWA Environment Seminar – Is South Australia so much better than Western Australia at Managed Aquifer Recharge?
Simmonds Lecture Theatre, University of Western AustraliaManaged Aquifer Recharge (MAR) is a tool to facilitate integrated water management solutions to address the challenges of water supply and management, to support community liveability goals, agriculture, industry and tourism and buffer the effects of increasing seasonal variations associated with climate change. South Australia is a global leader in the adoption of MAR applications…
UWA Environmental Seminar – The Groundwater Commons Game: Computational social science reveals sustainable pathways towards global groundwater conservation
Simmonds Lecture Theatre, University of Western AustraliaGroundwater depletion is one of humanity’s greatest sustainability challenges of the 21st century. Unsustainable rates of groundwater abstraction in the world’s major food bowls threatens water and food security not only locally, but also globally via international trade links. With Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) deadlines only a decade away, water authorities are in urgent need…
UWA Environment Seminar Water quality models for environmental management: Application to pit lakes
Simmonds Lecture Theatre, University of Western AustraliaThis talk will present the recently published results of testing a water quality model against eight years of data from a pit lake, up to 2012. The model was able to explain the main features of the lake hydrodynamics and biogeochemistry, including the acidic pH, and was used to test hypotheses regarding limitations on nutrient…
