Natural and Built Environment
It's all about opportunities...
Here's proof
Associate Professor Basant Maheshwari currently leads a multi-disciplinary research team through the Co-operative Research Centre Irrigation Futures (CRC IF) to identify business opportunities for improving management of effluent, stormwater and ground water resources to satisfy environmental and irrigation demands in the South Creek Catchment, Western Sydney.
The project seeks to identify business opportunities for irrigators, both urban and peri-urban, to become part of an expanding environmental service industry and in so doing support a truly sustainable and diversified irrigation business environment.
The project is expected to improve policies and institutional settings that support integrated water resource management in the Western Sydney region.
