The annual LGSA Water Management Conference is being hosted by Orange City Council this year from 12-14 September 2010 in a new Sunday to Tuesday format. The 2010 conference program focuses on the diversification of water supply options, demand management and water conservation in a large inland urban centre faced with limited water availability. The conference will also discuss regional water supply options with a view to deliver improved water security in central NSW and look at innovative options for water reuse and recycling.
In addition, the conference will showcase Orange City Council's Blackmans Swamp Stormwater Harvesting Scheme as a new and innovative approach to augmenting water supply through capturing urban stormwater flows. The scheme, which is capable of capturing approximately 2 GL/year, is the largest potable stormwater reuse system in Australia and has won a number of water industry awards in recent months.
