Environmental Water Management
  • The Environmental Water Management Specialist Network was set up to support those active in the field of environmental water management by facilitating the exchange of knowledge, encourage problem-solving and build a sense of community that will strengthen the profession and practice of environmental water management to achieve better environmental outcomes.

    Prior to its formation as a network, the Community of Practice for Environmental Water Managers was established by AWA through a project of the National Water Commission (see background for more details). The Community's separate website remains as an interactive forum for network communications and can be accessed at www.cop4ewm.com.au . The website includes event listings, forums, a Directory of Practical Tools, plus the chance to interact with other members.

     
    You can find out more about the planned activities of this specialist network by downloading the 2010-12 Action Plan.
