Objectives

What we're here to do

Build a shared picture of the challenges

Bring together first-hand perspectives on the water issues affecting industrial operations, surrounding communities and the wider basin—and where industry can make a useful contribution.

Explore practical responses

Examine existing projects, promising approaches and new ideas across factory operations, industrial parks and the basin, including what could help them succeed or expand.

Agree clear next steps

Turn the strongest opportunities into a practical path forward by identifying what needs to happen next, who should be involved, and what further information, finance, technical support or partnerships may be required.
