Water Security Series: Disaster resilience - Tuesday 25 February

Join us for a panel discussion on 'Disaster resilience: Impacts of recent bush fires on water resources' as part of the University of Melbourne's Water Security Series.

The panel discussion will address the impacts of fire on streamflow, water quality and post-fire mass erosion events threatening infrastructure and property. The discussion will outline the impacts of increased landscape drying and the eco hydraulic feedbacks that occur as a direct result of landscape disasters. The panelists will also address the potential policy, management and operational responses from the recent bushfires.
