to the homepage of the Australian Water Recycling Centre of Excellence. The Australian Water Recycling Centre of Excellence will enhance the management and use of water recycling nationally and internationally through industry and research partnerships.In 2011 the Centre will invest in a portfolio of industry-relevant research projects across the full water recycling spectrum, developing practical solutions to secure Australia's future water supply while at the same time building awareness and understanding in the community about this precious resource. Through its nationally competitive research projects the centre will produce and commercialise new water recycling technologies, processes and approaches to enable the sustainable management of our water supply. The Centre has developed a Strategic Research Plan, which identifies goals to guide investment for the next three years, the status of water recycling development around the world and how the Centre's research will address current challenges. We invite all water industry members and research institutions to join us as we work to realise the opportunities that water recycling will contribute to sustainable water supplies and improved quality of our environment. |

Communicating Water Science & Technology Course – 12-14 March 2012 Griffith University, Nathan Campus (Brisbane) The Smart Water Research Centre course is designed to inform educators, communicators and community consultants about water science and also to assist those who already have knowledge of water science, to present it to lay people in a way that captures their attention and is easily understood. It will help those with a responsibility to interact with and guide the community, at all levels, to provide information simple enough to understand, yet technical enough to trust.
