Groundswell

Participants:
Wiradjuri Condobolin Aboriginal Corporation, the Palerang Agricultural Society, Bettergrow, Zero Waste Australia and the South East office of the DECC Sustainability Programs Division

The wider economic viability of collecting and composting urban organic waste for use as a cost effective, high quality agricultural input is about to be put to the test as part of a new partnership project between farmers and the Goulburn Mulwaree, Palerang, Queanbeyan City and Lachlan Councils.

The Groundswell project will get underway in Condobolin, in the Lachlan Shire, where collections are scheduled to start in May 2008, with collections to follow in Goulburn (August 2008), Queanbeyan and Palerang Shires (November 2008).

All water options must be considered

Australian governments need to consider using all available water resource options, not just desalination technology, says a senior scientist with the Australian Water Association.

Dr Diane Wiesner will tell the Second International Salinity Forum's discussion on desalination on Monday that other options for satisfying increasing water demand should include stormwater reuse and wastewater treatment.
