Inter-Water AustraliaConference & Exhibition willshowcase innovativetechnologies and thinkingcrucial to the sustainableand efficient use of water –in the private and publicsectors, and across a rangeof commercial and economicactivities, including,viticulture, energy, thechemicals industry, and thebuilt environment.

The focus is firmly on the endusers of water – thosebusinesses and activities wherewater is a vital input, eitherdirectly or through supplychains – and how they canmitigate and manage the risksof being dependent on thisincreasingly scarce resource.

WELCOME FROM THE AUSTRAL IAN GOVERNMENT

Water reform– The Government’s Agenda

Within this context I’m proud to say that Australia, with itsscarce and unpredictable rainfall, is leading the field ofwater reform.

Water reform is vital if we are to secure the long-termhealth and resilience of our communities, local economiesand the environment.

Water policy in Australia has developed significantlysince the turn of the century. In 2004 the HowardGovernment secured agreement with the states for aNational Water Initiative; a framework for national waterreform that remains just as relevant now as it did then.And in 2007 the Howard Government’s National Plan forWater Security saw passage of the Water Act 2007,which led to the making of the Murray-Darling Basin Planand its pathway to implementation.

The Australian Government is committed to implementingthe Murray-Darling Basin Plan, in full and on time.

In recovering water for the environment, a key priority forthe Australian Government is to ensure the Murray-Darling Basin remains Australia’s primary food bowl. Forthis reason the Australian Government is capping waterpurchase at 1500 gigalitres and giving priority to waterrecovery through infrastructure efficiency savings. Overthe next four years more than $2.3 billion is being spenton irrigation infrastructure projects that also deliversignificant benefits to irrigation communities.

The National Water Initiative paved the way for moreefficient management and use of water resources thatprovides benefits to all. By applying these nationallyagreed principles, our states, cities and communities allbenefit from sound water resource planning to secure the

water supplies we need forthe future; from a disciplinedand competitive approach towater pricing and costrecovery; and from thepromotion of water useefficiency.

Water reform can’t prevent droughts, but it can soften theimpact of drought on rural and regional communities.Secure water entitlements, combined with the continuingdevelopment of Australia’s unique water market, enablesirrigation farmers to buy and sell water in ways that notonly make good business sense to their enterprises, butalso allows for the efficient distribution of available waterresources between competing uses in ways that minimisethe economic impacts of drought.

Finally, water reform has seen terrific advances in theways that we manage water for the environment. Througha strong scientific grounding, partnerships with stategovernment agencies and increasingly informed localcommunity input, the Commonwealth EnvironmentalWater Holder now undertakes environmental wateringacross the Murray Darling Basin. Reports on theenvironmental outcomes achieved with this water arefreely available on the web.

With such a strong agenda of speakers and workshopsover the next two days, I hope that you gain manyinsights into new technologies, sustainability innovationsand new developments in water and wastewater servicesthat can help us achieve a stronger Australia.

Senator the Hon Simon Birmingham,Parliamentary Secretary for the Environment

Thank you for attending the Inter-Water Australia internationalconference and exhibition. This event is one of four making up the firstAustralian Sustainability Week. Its objective of promoting technologiesand innovative solutions to safeguard long-term, reliable access to watersupplies by industry, commerce and in the urban environment ties inclosely with the Australian Government’s Plan for a Cleaner Environment.

Innovationsfrom BASF– 15 and 16 October

Exhibit 1:Creating clear conditions

Water is not only vital for our survival ashumans, but is also used in almost allindustrial processes. Natural water resourcesare being constantly depleted. Populationgrowth and industrialisation areexacerbating this trend. Moreover, theincreasingly scarce water resources arebeing polluted by contaminated waste water.

The Multibore® membranes from BASFsubsidiary inge® can be used for all kinds ofwater treatment. Their range of uses extendsfrom the water supply of entire cities toindustrial applications, such as sea waterdesalination plants or supplying processwater to steel production facilities.

Exhibit 2:Combining performance withsecurity

Cationic flocculants have been used fordecades in the sewage and effluentdewatering process. Optimising thedewatered biosolids is crucial to improve thesustainability of the process. For example,higher cake solids reduce the energyrequired for transporting and disposing atlandfill.

Furthermore, if the cake is dry enough it canbe incinerated as fuel to generate energy.BASF’s Zetag® Flocculant Technology hasbeen designed to deliver optimal resultsacross a broad array of sludge and processconditions in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment.

T H E I N N O VAT I O N Z O N E

BASF, the leading chemical companyand supplier of sustainable solutions o industry, will be demonstrating anumber of ‘Water Solutions’ atInter-Water Australia.

If you thought Inter-WaterAustralia was all work and noplay, and that water-relatedinnovations were totally seriousbusiness, then think again!

The Innovation Launchpad, brought to youby Inter-Water Australia in associationwith Isle Utilities (which specialises inanalysing new ventures identifyingdisruptive technologies and acceleratingtheir market entry) will take place on Day2 of Inter-Water, Thursday Wednesday 16October. It will adopt the format of thehugely popular 1990s UK TV series,‘Blind Date’, which ran from 1985 to2003.

The originalBlind Date saw ared headedcelebrity calledCilla Black(pictured, right)introduce threepotential dates ofone sex to apotential partnerof the other sexwho would, without being able to see anyof them, ask questions and then chooseone to date! Would you believe that someof the partners even got married?!

In our version, there will be three ‘BlindDate’ sessions, each featuring threeentrepreneurs responsible for aninnovation in one of the sustainable andefficient use of water following areas:.

• The use of remote sensors and remotesensing data.

• The use of ICT-based solutions for watermonitoring, collection and storage, andquality control.

• New materials for water filtration,purification, recycling, etc.

Each entrepreneur will have 10 minutes topresent their innovation to the Inter-Wateraudience before facing toughinterrogation by a secret ‘date’, who willeither be an investor or a utility companyexecutive.

As in the TV series, the ‘date’ will remainhidden behind a screen and the identity of

the entrepreneurs will only be revealed atthe end of the session. The winningentrepreneur in each of the three sessionswill be selected for a 'date' where theywill be able to pitch for investment in theirinnovation, or explore furtheropportunities to accelerate their marketuptake for some business

More details about the participatingentrepreneurs, their innovations, and theirinterrogators will be released in the nearfuture. So stay tuned and see you there!

As we went to press we were still finalisingsome of the innovators that would be pitching,but those participating include:

Session 1: Use of remote sensing dataInnovators to be confirmed.

Session 2: New materials for waterfiltration, purification, and recycling

Baleen – Baleen Micro-ScreeningFilterBaleen filter technology can be employedas a single treatment step for separationand recovery of water borne suspendedconstituents to as fine as 20-micron.

Gambit Technologies– Seldon Nanomesh Filter MediaNanomesh filter technology combines sizeexclusion and absorption contaminantremoval technologies into one simple flowthrough filter. Nanomesh technologyfundamentally improves the effectiveness ofPOU water filtration.

Session 3: The use of ICT-basedsolutions

WaterSmart – WaterSmart softwareWaterSmart Software is a consumerengagement software system for waterutilities which aims to help utilities make iteasier for their customers to save water andreduce bills.

Teccura – Teccura water auditsTeccura offers a unique auditing process toidentify unpaid and under-billedconsumption in the commercial andindustrial sectors.
