australia has many unique advantages including our world-class resources, proximity to asia, a temperate climate and the distinct opportunity of growth industries including agribusiness, mining, and tourism. however, for all these industries to prosper they require one vital element – water.

Safe water. Secure water. Sustainable water. Access to water.

Many challenges lie ahead for the water sector in managing water in urban, regional and rural contexts. We need water professionals and organisations to step-up and lead innovation, debate and provide technical know-how across the broad scope of water and wastewater management to ensure we harness these opportunities, both domestically and overseas.

Ozwater’15 will once again attract national and international speakers, and delegates, to attain a new wealth of industry knowledge and cultivate strong and applicable ideas to ensure the longevity of our greatest resource.

54 ozWaTEr’15 Australia’s International Water Conference & Exhibition

I have great pleasure in inviting you to the Australian Water Association’s premier conference and exhibition, Ozwater’15 in Adelaide. With South Australia often being described as the driest state in the driest continent on earth, we are certainly qualified to value the importance of water and the need for water security.

The theme for Ozwater’15 is ‘Water for Growth and Prosperity’ and I’m sure it will attract a range of professionals from around Australia and the world. Water is essential for life, as well as for the growth and prosperity of communities. The security of supply and quality affects everyone, whether they are from the community, commerce or industry, and is arguably the single most important factor that determines health, social, and economic wellbeing.

If you’re working in the Australian water, agriculture, manufacturing or mining industries I encourage you to join with other professionals and organisations and take full advantage of Ozwater’15 so you can meet face-to-face with industry peers to discuss the challenges of providing sustainable and affordable water supplies for the growth and prosperity of Australia.

This year’s event includes a comprehensive program with diverse themes from technology and operations through to water business, mining and resources, and more! We received many high quality submissions from national and international speakers and keynotes, and you can look forward to an outstanding line-up of experts showcasing their work through platform presentations, interactive workshops and electronic posters.

In addition to the comprehensive conference program, this year’s trade exhibition will showcase all the latest innovations, products and services the industry has to offer, with the new addition of some country pavilions.

I look forward to offering you the same warm hospitality that South Australians are renowned for. See you at Ozwater’15!

John Ringham Chair Ozwater’15 Committee

I invite you to register for Ozwater’15, Australia’s largest water conference and exhibition to be held in Adelaide on 12-14 May.AWA will be once again be bringing together the brightest minds and greatest innovators of water and wastewater solutions from across Australia and the world. This is 2015’s greatest opportunity to share ideas, gain business opportunities, renew relationships, and make new ones across Australia’s water industry.

This year we welcome keynote speakers from across water businesses, academia, agriculture, mining and manufacturing. They will share their knowledge of both local and global water issues and will captivate you with their stories on how water leads to growth and prosperity. These speakers will be supported by a diverse selection of technical and strategic speakers from Australia and beyond.

In addition to the comprehensive conference program, there will be seminars, workshops, networking functions, and of course Australia’s largest water trade exhibition. This year the conference agenda is particularly full, with additional streams relating to current key issues including water in agriculture, water in the resources sector, and building an innovative Australia.

Also, for the first time we will be hosting a Water Regulators Forum. This Forum will bring together Australia’s regulators across economic, environmental and health to discuss the need for harmonisation in water regulation for better outcomes for industry and customers.

I want to thank both the Ozwater’15 Committee, in particular the Chair John Ringham, and AWA staff for putting in countless hours to ensure we have this incredible program to present to you.

I look forward to welcoming you to Adelaide in May 2015.

GUIDELINES FOR USING HEALTH-BASED TARGETS TO SET REQUIREMENTS FOR DRINKING WATER TREATMENTThe Water Quality Advisory Committee (WQAC) of the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) recently released a discussion paper exploring setting health-based microbial treatment requirements within a future revision to the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines. The purpose of this workshop is to provide practical training and problem solving support in the use of this so-called Health-based Targets (HBT) approach for setting requirements for drinking water treatment. The approach has been developed by the Water Services Association of Australia (WSAA) and provides a model for meeting HBT within water utilities that is intended to align with WSAA’s estimate of what possible future revisions to the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines might look like. This model has been developed by WSAA’s HBT Working Group (WG).• MrRichardWalker, Water Corporation, WA• MrDavidSheehan, Coliban Water, VIC• MrPhilipFasham, Coliban Water, VIC• DrArranCanning, Seqwater, QLD• DrMelitaStevens, Melbourne Water, VIC• DrMarkAngles, Sydney Water, NSW• SteveCapewell, Water Corporation, WA• MrJasonWest, SA Water, SA• DrDanDeere, Water Futures, NSW

ECONOMIC VIABILITY OF RECYCLED WATER FOR MANAGED AQUIFER RECHARGE Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) schemes have great potential to increase water availability by generating water supplies from sources that may otherwise be wasted. They can provide environmental, social and economic benefits. Benefits include improved maintenance of wetlands, opportunity for bulk water storage, prevention of salt-water intrusion, increased water availability for irrigation, and augmentation of drinking water supplies.

The workshop will discuss recent economic assessments of several Australian MAR schemes that use recycled water for potable and non-potable purposes. The workshop provides an opportunity to learn from practitioners and gain insight from their experience. There will be discussion of technical and environmental issues, costs and opportunities of recycled water for managed aquifer recharge. Participants will review and contribute to a new web-based practical Guide to Water Recycling via MAR. This workshop will be of interest to water utilities, councils, regulators, suppliers and water resource managers.

MAKING INNOVATION ACCESSIBLE TO REGIONAL & REMOTE URBAN COMMUNITIESBarriers to greater implementation of cost effective water cycle management in regional and remote urban communities are created by the availability and affordability of new technologies, overly complex or duplicating regulatory practices and insufficient economic assessment.

Specifically in regard to water recycling (of all forms) (but more widely applicable to other water solutions), the AWRCoE has invested in projects and programs of work to have impact in addressing practical solutions in these three key areas.

Drawing upon real-world projects and trials, and government investment and innovation programs, this workshop will examine these three key themes and offer practical demonstration of new solutions and pathways for wider national implementation in regional and remote urban communities. • A/ProfMarkPascoe, International Water Centre, QLD• GregClaydon, WA Department of Water, WA• DarrylDay, NT Department of Land Resource Management, NT • DrRobFearon, Qld Water Directorate, QLD• DrNandaAltavilla, NSW Office of Water, NSW• KathyNorthcott, Veolia, VIC• DrDavidCunliff, SA Department of Health, SA• DavidSheehan, Coliban Water, VIC• WillFargher, Aither, ACT

Technical Tours

tour 1 – adelaide desalination Plant

friday 15 May time: 8.00am – 12.30pmCost: $30 (includes transfer & morning tea)

The Adelaide Desalination Plant (ADP) commenced producing desalinated drinking water in October 2011. It was formally handed over for operation in December 2012, on time and within the approved budget of $1.824 billion. Adelaide Aqua Pty Ltd was contracted to maintain and operate the plant on behalf of SA Water for 20 years. The plant has been designed and constructed with emphasis on flexibility, allowing production at any capacity from 30 ML per day to 300 ML per day in steps increments of 30 ML.

The tour will include a guided walk around the plant and a presentation in the on-site Kauwi Interpretive Centre. The translation for Kauwi is water in the language of the Kaurna peoples who are a group of Indigenous Australians whose traditional lands include the area around the Adelaide Plains of South Australia. The centre aims to educate and engage the public on water and desalination through activities such as interactive touch-screens, science workshops and the Bush Tukka Garden.

During the tour, delegates are required to wear long sleeves, long pants and safety PPEs (safety boots and safety glasses).

schedule: Coach will depart from the Adelaide Convention Centre (ACC) at 8.00am and will arrive at 9.00am, to commence the tour. Morning tea will be served onsite in the visitors centre. Estimated arrival time at Adelaide Airport is 12.30pm and the coach will then continue to ACC, arriving at approximately 1.00pm.

tour 2 – reCyCling tour

friday 15 May time: 8.30am – 10.30amCost: $25 (includes transfer)

The Adelaide Airport stormwater aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) scheme is one of SA Water’s first stormwater ASR schemes. The scheme aims to harvest and supply around 300ML of stormwater per year, and was designed to meet a number of specific drivers, including testing the feasibility of stormwater harvesting and supply for non-potable purposes, expansion of SA Water’s water portfolio, reducing stormwater nutrients and other components from reaching the marine environment, and potentially supporting a nearby recycled water scheme.

The tour will include the viewing of the creek extraction infrastructure, the injection bore compounds, the pre-injection treatment works (media filter and parallel biofilter treatment trains) and the distribution treatment infrastructure. The tour will include information on the highs and lows of the design and construction phase, methods used to address unique issues that arise with stormwater ASR schemes, the regulatory approvals process, and the potential future innovative uses of this scheme. There will also be some discussion about ASR in Adelaide and where it is heading. It will be of interest to engineers, designers, water quality practitioners, scientists and planners.

schedule: Coach will depart at 8:30am from the Adelaide Convention Centre. Estimated arrival time at Adelaide Airport is 10.30am and the coach will then continue to ACC, arriving at approximately 11.00am.

tour 3 – unisa teCh-trail

friday 15 May time: 8.30am – 12.30pmCost: $40 (includes transfer & morning tea)

As cities develop, water sensitive urban design will be key to managing water resources effectively. UNISA’s campus employs several technologies which can mitigate the effects of storm or drought conditions while providing amenities to the local environment and its inhabitants.

The Tech Trail is an accessible way to explore new technology for designers, policy makers, and residents. The trail will continue to evolve as the University researches new methods, and it hopes to inspire others to look at their own urban environment in a new, water sensitive way. The University of South Australia ‘Technology Trail’ has been developed to demonstrate natural and engineered water management features to students and the community.

The trail incorporates natural stormwater management features, an example of stormwater harvesting via ASR, a demonstration of a siphonic drainage system and a tour of a facility which tests water meters, fittings and irrigation equipment for the Australian water industry

schedule: Coach will depart from Adelaide Convention Centre at 8.30am to arrive at the Mawson Lakes Campus at 9am. Comfortable clothing and walking shoes required. Morning tea will be offered at The Watershed Café located in The Greenfield Wetlands. Estimated arrival time at Adelaide Airport is 12.30 and the coach will then continue to ACC, arriving at approximately 1.00pm.
