The significance of WCG’s sewage treatment wetland solution was not lost on Ms Saffin who subsequently used a World Wetland’s Day media release to comment;
“We need to be looking at innovative ways to protect our water resources, as we prepare for a future in our driest of dry continents.”
“In our area, some of that innovation is happening. The Water and Carbon Group with the support of Southern Cross University, and local councils, has developed natural wastewater treatment systems in South Lismore, and Casino that create wetlands and produce safe water. “
“With the pressure of increasing populations, all levels of Government need to be support solutions such as this; a process of turning sewerage and wastewater into healthy wetlands.”
