Marlene shared the work that WaterRA’s members have been doing to increase the water industry’s future readiness – research designed for professionals to be able to plan, prepare, respond to, and recover from extreme events.

“In times of drought we are faced with the uncertainties of variable water quality and quantity,” Marlene said. “An acute understanding of these scenarios will help us to build a resilient water future.”

WaterRA’s series on Extreme Events was held during November 2021 and February 2022. The webinars took a close look at modelling, climate, complex river systems, community attitudes, extreme event response, and recovery among other important topics.
