Water Matters ACT Branch held its annual Water Matters conference in June. The event commenced with the inaugural Regional Operations Workshop, which has been established to provide a focal point for networking between Councils in the Capital Region and south-east New South Wales. The next day saw the main technical conference, with the theme "Droughts and Flooding Rains" aimed at ensuring the water industry maintains its focus on sustainable solutions for the future, without forgetting the inevitable droughts and floods that characterise Australia. The event was well attended and promises to continue growing, particularly with the high quality presentations given by experts from ACTEW, ActewAGL, AECOM, Australian National University, Bureau of Meteorology, and the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population & Communities. Please note, too, that the ACT Industry and Student Awards are now open. Contactdha'sapis@awa.asn.au for more information.
