[Catalist] Invitation to RACI event - Theme: Water

[Mauro Mocerino]

G'day folks, 
 
The Royal Australian Chemical Institute, together with the Australian Water Association, the national peak water organisation, invite science teachers, to the April Monthly Members meeting on Tuesday 17 April at 5.30 pm in Building 500 room 1102, Curtin University.  The theme for this meeting will be Water and we have two excellent speakers who will each present a short talk.
 
Access to safe drinking water is crucial for economic growth and poverty reduction.  Perth's increase in population, coupled with declining rainfall has resulted in our traditional sources of water, the dams, being unable to satisfy demand. Over recent decades, the Water Corporation has introduced climate independent sources to help meet demands, including groundwater replenishment and desalination schemes.
 
Speakers
Garth Walter: Water. Learn it. Live it.
Stacey Hamilton: Perth’s Groundwater Replenishment Scheme – from a Trial to Reality
