webinar
Event Date 08 Jul 2025
From obscurity to crisis, water quality only catches attention when a dramatic event occurs. Learn why this should not be the case.
With literally thousands of chemicals in everyday use, many of which find their way into water and have different effects on humans and various other biota, water quality poses risks to human and ecological health, among other impacts. One Basin CRC has been developing a discussion paper setting out key issues in water quality within MDB.
- What is known about water quality in the MDB?
- What are the key gaps in knowledge?
- Are we addressing water quality issues effectively?
- Where should the research focus be in the next 5-10 years to address some of the emerging threats?
Panel Members

- Jason Wilson – Traditional Owner from the Northern Basin
