WaterWorks Technical Journal
WaterWorks is the official technical publication of WIOA, and is produced bi-annually (May and November). This national journal is a key resource for those working in operational roles in the water and allied industries. WaterWorks is distributed to all WIOA members, as well as to key decision-makers in Australia’s local government sector, including councils.
A comprehensive publication for water industry operations practitioners with content sourced and edited by WIOA, WaterWorks provides insight into a range of water issues in a high-quality journal format. It presents the latest news, trends, major projects and solutions in all the key areas affecting the sector.
Climate variability and extremes of drought and flood has impacted the Australian urban sector in the past decade. The operational side of the water industry is also coming under closer scrutiny from a cost, efficiency and customer affordability point of view. Publishing the technical articles in WaterWorks provides the opportunity for readers to keep abreast of the latest technology, products and improved operational practices, making it a vital resource for those in the sector.
