Water

Defining the limits of our future

24 July 2008

Leaders gained valuable insight into a precious resource when the South West Development Commission hosted a seminar on water management.

Participants in the seminar – the third in the acclaimed Critical Horizons series – examined how a shortage of water might affect the future development of the region.

Renowned guest speakers included Australian Research Centre for Water in Society group leader Jeff Camkin, Queensland Water commissioner Jamie Quinn and Western Australia Department of Water director general Kim Taylor.
