This partnered event with Watersmart outlines New Zealand’s key water challenges and the practical solutions to address them. Attendees will gain clear, actionable insight into designing resilient, future-ready water systems for residential and commercial projects.
This educational session focusses on solutions to the growing water challenges facing New Zealand, including ageing infrastructure, urban densification, increased flooding, and increasing demand on freshwater supplies, and the solutions required to address them.
Attendees will learn practical strategies for stormwater attenuation, rainwater harvesting & reuse, and flood protection across residential and commercial projects. The presentation also covers sustainable approaches like greywater recycling, permeable pavements, and smart metering to improve efficiency and reduce strain on infrastructure. Participants will gain a clear understanding of how to design safer, more resilient, and future-proof water systems to cope with tomorrow’s environment and regulatory conditions.
Key Topics to be Covered:
- Stormwater attenuation strategies for effective site water management.
- Rainwater harvesting and pumping & filtration systems for residential and commercial applications.
- Flood protection using deployable and passive flood barriers.
- Water conservation techniques and greywater recycling systems to reduce potable water demand.
- Wastewater discharge reduction approaches in line with sustainability goals.
- Smart water metering for efficient water monitoring and leak detection.
- Safe drinking water creation when sourcing water independently, including an overview of the Water Services Act 2021.
- Use of permeable pavement systems to reduce surface runoff and improve stormwater quality.
Learning Objectives:
- Stormwater attenuation strategies for effective site water management.
- Rainwater harvesting and pumping & filtration systems for residential and commercial applications.
- Flood protection using deployable and passive flood barriers.
- Water conservation techniques and greywater recycling systems to reduce potable water demand.
- Wastewater discharge reduction approaches in line with sustainability goals.
- Smart water metering for efficient water monitoring and leak detection.
- Safe drinking water creation when sourcing water independently, including an overview of the Water Services Act 2021.
- Use of permeable pavement systems to reduce surface runoff and improve stormwater quality.
