Would you drink recycled water?

A discussion exploring options for South East Queensland’s future water supply is being held on Thursday 19 June.

University of Queensland Advanced Water Management Centre Director Jurg Keller will join a panel to discuss how extreme weather events and population growth is creating an increased demand for water.

Recycling has a clean and green image, except when it refers to water for drinking.

Queensland, including the highly-populated southeast corner, has suffered severe droughts and floods in the past decade.

Join the audience in discussing options for a sustainable and secure water supply for South East Queenslanders.

Discussion issues include:

• What role do different water sources play in securing a sustainable, long-term water supply across a rapidly growing region such as SE Queensland?
• Is the infrastructure in a state where it could be rapidly deployed if needed?
•  Should recycled water play a greater role in our water supply?

Registration is required as spaces are limited.
