]]>At this year’s event, held in Sydney on February 22nd and 23rd, discussions were guided by the overarching theme Water Wisdom to Future Flow. Next Water saw attendance from utilities, researchers, health regulators, government, non-government organisations and consultants.
Astronomer Professor Alan Duffy kicked off proceedings, taking delegates on a journey of discovery looking at the search for water beyond Earth. Water expert Professor John Thwaites shared valuable insights on how researchers can better engage with government, and globally renowned researcher Dr Fiona Kerr
Joining the headliners were over 60 top-class speakers from Australia and around the world shared their views on the biggest trends and challenges facing the water industry, including:
The event also incorporated a successful Water Leaders’ Lunch, a tour of Australia’s largest smart blue-green infrastructure R&D project, and a dinner celebrating our Research Leadership Program with the awarding of the 2023 Nancy Millis Award.
“Next Water is a prime example of the commitment, passion and determination of our BIG Team – showcasing how collaboration drives innovation,” WaterRA CEO Karen Rouse said. “Now, more than ever, as challenges we are facing seem to come more frequently and on a global scale, our community’s ability to come together and innovate is what will drive the sector forward.
“Next Water exceeded our most optimistic expectations and the excitement was like nothing I’ve ever experienced,” Rouse said. “The delegates loved being back in person, listening to our fascinating keynotes and discovering all the latest advances in water.
“The event’s success demonstrated how our BIG Team of members, our supporters and our partners all share in our vision to be the leading source of water science and wisdom for healthy communities and healthy planet.”

]]>Located in Bicentennial Park in a 40 hectare, fully irrigated parkland in Sydney Olympic Park, the SIMPaCT project – Smart Irrigation Management for Cool Parks and Towns – is working to reduce the Urban Heat Island Effect by maximising the transpiration cooling provided by plants. The project uses smart sensing technology and artificial intelligence to optimise irrigation of the entire parkland.
The technology is designed to create an autonomous natural urban air conditioning system that knows when it will be hot and how to adjust water management throughout a complex landscape to cool the area inside and around the park.
Led by Western Sydney University, SIMPaCT is funded by the Digital Restart Fund of the NSW Government and Sydney Water, and brings together universities, government agencies and industry.
Next Water, Australia’s leading scientific and technical conference on research and innovation, will be held in Sydney on February 22nd and 23rd. The event will bring together water industry professionals and academics from across Australia.
Register now for Next Water to take advantage of this exclusive opportunity and join the lunch hour walking tour where SIMPaCT project partners will demonstrate how science and industry are working together to deliver innovative and effective urban cooling solutions.
The tour is strictly limited to 50 delegates to ensure maximum participation. If you have already registered for Next Water please email Jessica Burgess to add the walking tour to your ticket, free of charge.
