Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre from 2nd to 5th July 2024.

The Lake and Reservoir Management specialist group of IWA focuses on the integrated management of lakes and reservoirs, taking an interdisciplinary approach that includes fluid dynamics, biogeochemistry, microbiology, aquatic biology, modelling and management.  The conference will bring together scientists, practitioners and managers to discuss different aspects of lake and reservoir management with a focus on:

1) diffuse pollution and eutrophication

2) instrumentation and techniques for water quality monitoring

3) in-situ control strategies to remove nutrients, cyanobacteria and other contaminants, and to mitigate greenhouse gas releases

4) in-reservoir water quality management strategies

5) evaluating reservoirs as pathogen and contaminant barriers

6) understanding the impacts of climate change

7) hydrodynamic and water quality model applications

8) connecting reservoir management and water treatment strategies

9) One Water.

We encourage participants to give oral presentations or posters on these topics, or other topics that are relevant to the goals of the special group in Lake and Reservoir Management.  The program is:

• Day 1 (Tuesday 2nd): Workshops held at Griffith University, Southbank campus.

• Day 2-3 (Wednesday 3rd – Thursday 4th): Main conference program at Brisbane Convention Centre.

• Day 4 (Friday 5th) Field excursion to local reservoirs and treatment facilities.

We look forward to welcoming you to Brisbane.
