A terrific follow on to this event could be participation in the UNEP-DHI EcoChallenge Australia<http://www.ecochallengeaustralia.com.au/>, and/or the Global Water Challenge.

WHAT'S INVOLVED WITH PLAYING IN UNEP-DHI ECOCHALLENGE AUSTRALIA??


UNEP-DHI Eco Challenge provides an exciting and authentic learning experience for students in Years 5-12 through the online strategic game, Aqua Republica, to explore issues and solutions relating to water management and sustainable development.

Teams of two players set out to manage the water needs of community within the game world of Aqua Republica. [Schools may enter as many teams as they wish.]

Each school will nominate playing date/s when they will have access to the competition version of the game. (Actual game play is 1- 4 hours depending on player activity)

ECO CHALLENGE AUSTRALIA - the WATER SECURITY edition is in place.

All participants will receive a certificate of participation at the national level.
UNEP-DHI will award certificates to international winners.
Curtin University will award prizes to the top 3 Australian teams.

Addressing the ACARA Cross-curriculum Priorities of Sustainability, and Asia and Australia's engagement with Asia the experience provides many learning opportunities across Social Studies, Science, Humanities, Health and Physical Education, English, Geography, and more.

I acknowledge the Nyungar Wadjuk people as the traditional owners of country on which Curtin’s Bentley campus sits.
I wish to acknowledge their continuing connection to land, sea and community and I pay my respects to them and their culture; and to elders, past present and future.

Subject: [Catalist] Invitation to RACI event - Theme: Water


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

About the Speakers
Garth Walter is an established executive with more than 20 years’ experience in the Water Industry. He has worked within the Utility, Mining & Resources, Services, Agriculture and small business sectors.  He has also been a member of the National Board for the Australian Water Association since 2015. Garth has worked across a number of technical disciplines including operations, maintenance, asset management, mine water and geotechnical engineering, corporate services & strategy and program management. His most recent roles include being Alliance General Manager for Programmed Facility Management in Western Australia and leading asset and technical services for PFM in WA where his team were finalists in the 2017 WSAA National Safety Award with more than 4 years LTI free.

Dr Stacey Hamilton is currently acting as a Senior Technical Advisor for Membrane Treatment within the Water Quality Branch at the Water Corporation. Stacey has been at the Corporation for 10 years and been involved with the groundwater replenishment scheme since 2011. Stacey has been involved as the technical representative and Department of Heath Liaison for the scheme since that time. Stacey has been involved in the design, construction, commissioning, approval and operation of Stage 1 and is currently assisting Stage 2 of the scheme.

The format of the meeting is a networking get together with drinks (beer, wine and soft drinks) and nibblies (chips, cheese and crackers) starting around 5.30 pm ($5 donation at the door). At around 6.15 pm we have a presentation  (~ 45 minutes) and this is followed by further networking (although most go after the talk). To register for the event (free to register, but need numbers for catering purposes), please go to https://www.raci.org.au/events/event/november-wa-branch-mmm-2-copy-copy-2 <https://www.raci.org.au/events/event/november-wa-branch-mmm-2-copy-copy-2>
