Description: Whether you are a manager, entomologist, ecologist, technician or a custodian of a wetland, attendance at this workshop will assist you to develop an effective plan for managing wetlands so they are no longer a prime producer of nuisance mosquitoes.

This two-day intensive program takes a hands-on, experiential learning approach. The workshop focuses on field-based case studies of wetlands and mosquito management issues, in both freshwater and estuarine urban wetlands. Emphasis will also be placed on sustainable management approaches in the current context of Climate Change and Sea Level Rise.

Location: Byron Bay, New South Wales
Link out: Click here
Description: Water resources will be challenged by projected increases in demand and climate driven reductions in water supply, together with potential emerging issues including recycled water and coal seam gas developments. These issues will place additional pressure upon future water quantity and quality and will potentially impact upon all aspects of water supply, sewerage and stormwater services planning and operations.

The AWA’s 2011 Engineers – Operators & Regional Conference will focus upon these challenges and provide leading industry knowledge to identify and quantify the impacts, together with presentations from operators and engineers who are already addressing these issues in a working environment.
