The 11th Australian Stream Management Conference (11ASM) was recently held in South Australia – Victor Harbor! Water Technology was a platinum sponsor for this event and it was a wonderful opportunity to connect with 200 people involved in waterway and integrated catchment management in Australia.

Water Technology had 10 full presentations and two poster presentations (see below).  Daryl Lam picked up a ‘special mention’ for his talk ‘Unprecedented. Unlikely!’.

Thanks to all those from Water Technology who helped with the organisation of the conference and for in general supporting the River Basin Management Society, giving time on the committee throughout the year.
