Community Water Forum: “What’s happening with water?” & 20 Years of Landcare Celebration
Posted on 29 October, 2009
Water Forum
The objectives are to develop a shared understanding of:
- Relevant water policy, processes for policy formulation, key factors influencing water policy and likely changes, particularly relating to dryland agricultural areas.
- The current water resource in the GB catchment, the state of scientific knowledge and likely changes to ground and surface water in the face of prolonged drought and climate change.
- Key agencies in the Goulburn Broken catchment that manage the water resource. And,
- To identify community concerns and issues on water resources in the catchment and the processes for community input on water management.
