Water leadership for the future Changing the way people think about, act and solve complex water management challenges

A parliamentary inquiry has been told that wells for fracking to release natural gas could be drilled through public drinking water aquifers.
Kim Flintoff's insight:
A contentious activity - science seems unresolved about impact on water resources - do your students understand the process? Can they raise relevant questions about water security in relation to fracking?

The vision of the Curtin Water Quality Research Centre is to be internationally recognised for excellence in research and education in water quality and treatment in support of government and industry. Areas of research within the Centre include studies of natural and anthropogenic organic matter in source and treated waters, disinfection by-product formation, water treatment, water reuse and aesthetics in drinking water.

As part of the Tropical Rivers and Coastal Knowledge (TRaCK) research program, we documented and quantified Aboriginal social and economic values of aquatic resources and identified their flow links in the first study of its kind in Australia. The research was conducted over three years (2008-2010) in two tropical river catchments—the Daly River in the Northern Territory and the Fitzroy River in Western Australia—where water planners needed information on Aboriginal people's water requirements.
Kim Flintoff's insight:
Different ways of understanding water management might be the solution to the global water crisis. Studemts agae 11-17 can play Eco Challenge and test their understanding.

The National Water Commission is responsible for driving national water reform under the National Water Initiative. We provide independent and public advice to the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) and the Australian Government by assessing, auditing and monitoring water reform progress.

Australia is at the forefront of a global water crisis. Some of the management lessons learned there could help bail out California and other parched regions before they meet the same fate

The idea of “sustainability” in a wide range of human endeavour is a relatively new concept, but is rapidly becoming a key issue in public policy theory and practice

ASDI is a research-intensive initiative. While ASDI can offer clients an integrated and collaborative approach to an identified need, it can also put clients in contact with individual highly qualified experts in a particular field. Research projects can be shaped to suit individual client needs and budgets. The range of research capability in sustainable development at Curtin is extensive. From molecular and isotopic analysis to help locate untapped petroleum deposits, to world-first genome sequencing of prevalent wheat crop diseases in Western Australia, to vital geological analysis and water storage techniques for using Perth's aquifers to secure water supply, to planning the sustainable development of the growing number of super-towns across Australia, Curtin researchers work across a broad spectrum of areas that directly change the lives of people and communities in Western Australia, the nation and the region.
