Challenges with Implementing a Drinking Water Management Program

Monday 30 May 2022   From 5pm

Do you experience challenges implementing your Drinking Water Management Program?

For example, do you struggle with managing your field and laboratory data? Find it difficult to manage water quality parameters that are above the analytical level of detection but don’t have an ADWG health limit?

Or do you experience challenges with workforce engagement and building trust in water quality?

This presentation by Steve Delides and Marg Nguyen will discuss some common challenges with implementing a Drinking Water Management Plan, and aims to help answer some of your questions.
