Event Description
- Full Description:
- Most people don’t tend to spend their time asking who ‘owns’ our sewage. We are happy enough to flush it away and forget about it. However, sewage’s reputation is undergoing an extraordinary change. Far from being seen as a burden, it is fast becoming known as great, new resource. Entrepreneurs are fighting hard to gain access it. Some have even litigated to ensure that they get access to our effluent.
But if sewage is used by entrepreneurs and others for recycled water purposes, some important questions arise, not the least of which are: will health safeguards be sufficient and whose sewage is it anyhow?’
Dr Janice Gray for the UNSW Law Faculty will be addressing these issues at her seminar
