This 176 page, case bound, full colour book is a showcase of Australian leadership and achievements in water resource management.
A selection of case studies is included to illustrate the diversity and ingenuity of Australia’s innovation which have been developed to balance the demands of consumptive use and environmental protection. These include multi-jurisdictional water sharing agreements, provision of environmental flows, behavioural change methodologies, public-private partnerships, and methods for better protecting public health.
The book also profiles Australia's leadership and achievements in the formulation of policy and new technologies for the management of urban water, rivers and catchments, and irrigation. Innovative approaches are presented in the book for the management of water supply and waste treatment; groundwater and surface water; and for urban, industrial and agricultural water.
Key government departments and agencies, successful water utilities, companies, consultants, scientists, engineers, financiers, economists and sociologists are profiled in the book. Together they demonstrate the richness of Australia’s expertise that can be harnessed for international commercial and aid projects.
The book is an independent editorial text, supplemented by sponsored pages. CL Creations (publisher), editor and authors, assisted by an eminent advisory panel, have sought to achieve appropriate breadth and depth in this complex issue of water resource management and to fairly present the diverse views of stakeholders.
I am privileged to commend the book Water Innovation: A New Era for Australia.
