Region. UWS researcher on water project

The human and social dimensions of water use in Australian cities will be the focus of a new fellowship project involving the National Water Commission and Dr Zoe Sofoulis, from the University of Western Sydney's Centre for Cultural Research, In the one year project, Dr Sofoulis will take a snapshot of current social and cultural water projects, and bring together industry leaders to develop better partnerships for socially sustainable urban water management. Dr Sofoulis has previously led groundbreaking studies into community attitudes and practices surrounding water use, and she says the new project will help bring to the fore urban water strategies and programs that engage with ordinary people.
