Climate change is already impacting the availability of water and how we manage our precious rivers like the Murray-Darling Basin and waterways which nourish life, agriculture, our health, and well-being.  

We need water for EVERYTHING! It is not just essential for life, but also used in construction, agriculture, electricity generation, transportation, recreation, and so much more! With such a precious resource, it is so important for us to consider:  

  • How can we safeguard our precious biodiversity? 
  • How can we secure it for future generations?
  • What is the role of science and technology in managing water?
  • Why, now more than ever, do we need engineers, scientists and sustainability champions who can help Australia navigate an uncertain water future?  

Dive into this webinar titled, Water in a warming world, which celebrates World Water Day by bringing together some of Australia’s best and brightest water scientists and engineers, including ATSE’s esteemed Fellow and Head of Sydney University’s School of Civil Engineering, Professor Stuart Khan FIEAust FTSE FRSC.   

This session is the second in our 2024 Shape Your Future series, an educational initiative from the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) which brings engaging experts in science, technology, engineering and maths.
