Each year, Year 9 and 10 students from selected schools throughout the region are invited to participate in GWMWater’s annual water research program which looks at whether our water use is sustainable today, tomorrow and beyond.
This program links into VELS and provides students with an opportunity to investigate water use in their local area. The culmination of student research is presented at GWMWater’s annual water conference at the University of Ballarat, Horsham campus.
