Western Australia is one of the hottest and driest places on Earth. As we come to the end of another hot and dry summer the issue of how we will secure a sustainable water source for this State is becoming increasingly urgent.


One possible solution to WA’s water situation is to recycle our wastewater. This solution, already being adopted in other states, remains divisive within the WA community for a number of reasons.
The Conservation Council of WA's February Environment Matters will look at WA’s existing sources of water, our current use of wastewater and address a number of concerns about public health. Plus address the multiple issues that surround groundwater replenishment, aquifer recharge and wastewater discharge into the environment.
This is an opportunity to find out more about wastewater recycling and contribute to a sustainable water future for Western Australia.

Steven McKiernan, Water Policy Officer, Conservation Council of WA
Nick Turner, Strategic Manager Reclaimed Water, Water Corporation
Jane Bremmer, Alliance for a Clean Environment
