Australian Desal Discovery Centre to Open in September

摘要

Australia's first Desal Discovery Centre will be unveiled in September, showcasing water security and desalination science to school groups, policymakers, industry and the general public. The Desal Discovery Centre is an initiative of the new $5 million National Centre of Excellence in Desalination Australia (NCEDA) pilot testing facility being built at Murdoch University's Rockingham campus in Western Australia. The official opening on 4 September coincides with the International Desalination Association World Congress in Perth, where thousands of water and desalination experts will gather. The new Centre will explain the benefits and opportunities desalination offers to Australia as the only fully sustainable new source of water, independent of drought and climate change, able to meet increasing population growth and industry demands.
