How much water shall we leave?• Current Regulations and Practice• Diversion of stormwater ?ows: aims and objectives• Guidelines for diversion of stormwater from Melbourne Water assets: Overview• This paper outlines options that integrate the planning of drinking water supply and wastewater treatment systems. Traditionally, these systems would be planned in a mutually exclusive manner but such an approach fails to capture and capitalise on the bene?ts of integrated water management.• Identifying new and sustainable water resources to satisfy the challeng-ing needs of the Asian Century are explored in this paper using the lessons and experiences of recent project work from India and Singapore.• Two examples of how the world-class water recycling and integrated water management work developed in Singapore for the NEWater programme are being adapted and translated to the India context will be used. Delhi, a city of some 18 million people in India is about to implement their ?rst large-scale drinking water reuse project. Another Indian city, Bengaluru is also in the advanced stages of implementing their ?rst drinking water reuse project. The strategic planning, public education and acceptance, treatment process selection and project delivery aspects will be discussed.2:30 STORMWATER INNOVATION AT RIVERWALK: AN INTEGRATED WATER CYCLE MANAGEMENT JOURNEYStormwater Innovation3.30 DIVERSION OF FLOWS FOR STORMWATER HARVESTING - STANDARDS, REGULATIONS AND INDUSTRY PRACTICE"4:00 TWO CASE STUDIES OF STORMWATER HARVESTING: THE COBURG AND MERRIFIELD PROJECTS, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIAOperational Experiences with Recycled Water PlantsA panel of industry experts will openly share their woes and lessons learnt.• How much does it really cost to operate that plant• What operator input is needed (not the marketing brochure spiel)• Compliance – really?• In?ow variations – what the client didn’t tell you (“I just wanted a plant that meets my e?uent criteria)”)• Lessons learnt etcFacilitated by Guenter Hauber-Davidson, Managing Director,WaterGroup Pty Ltd Panel Members:• Bruce Precious, Sustainability Manager, GPT Group• Martin Adair, Department of Corrective Services, Western Australia• Damien Connell, Melbourne Water• Representative from Kogarah Council 11:00 OPERATIONAL EXPERIENCES WITH RECYCLED WATER PLANTSINTERACTIVE SESSION 2 HOUR SESSIONGuenter Hauber-Davidson, Managing Director,WaterGroup Pty Ltd 10:00 MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE ASIAN CENTURY: PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT OF ALTERNATIVE AND INTEGRATED WATER SYSTEMS FOR HIGHLY URBANISED CITIES• Sustainable water management requires equal attention to ?nancial,social and environmental outcomes• Water recycling ful?ls an important role in expanding the diversityof supply and building resilience to changes in climate and demand• However recycling schemes are often more expensive than thanalternative sources of water• Community engagement is essential in moving towards cost e?ectiveintegrated potable recycling• Full triple-bottom-line accounting with avoidance of cross subsidieso?ers a transparent and robust approach to decision making• Goals for Water Recycling Research• Enhancing the social, economic, and environmental value of water recycling• Establishing a national validation framework for water recycling • An acceptable 'alternative water' for augmenting drinking water - the National Demonstration, Education and Engagement Program• Consolidating recycled water knowledge for AustraliaCASE STUDYAustralian Water Reforms & ProgressBioassay Techniques for Assessment of Recycled Water QualityPrioritisation of Chemicals in an IPR Scheme5.00 Closing remarks from the chair5:00 pm - 6:00pm Networking drinksDay 2 - Friday, 31st May8:55 Opening Address from the Chair NWC Commissioner, National Water Commission10:30 Morning Co?eeProfessor Beate Escher, Deputy Director of the National Research Centrefor Environmental Toxicology (Entox)9:00 KEY DEVELOPMENTS IN AUSTRALIA’S URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT10:00 RISK PRIORITISATION OF CHEMICALS IN AN IPR SCHEME11: 00 NEW BIOASSAY TECHNIQUES FOR ASSESSMENT OF RECYCLED WATER QUALITY A re?ection from a decade of urban water reform: the role of supplydiversity in supporting NWI outcomes:• Safety• Security• SustainabilityRecent developments and reform focus• Governance / regulatory reforms• Pricing reforms• Science and Technology – nationally coordinated R&DNWC looking forward under a revised mandate• Assess, audit and monitor;
