Background
Residents of the Darwin-Palmerston region have experienced below average rainfall in the 2018-'19 and 2019-'20 wet seasons. As a result, a third successive poor wet season may see implementation of water restrictions in the 2021 dry season.
Task
Investigate alternative sources of water supply for the region, noting that these sources may have to continue providing water for an unforeseeably long-term future time-scale. To explore alternative water sources further, students will be allocated to one of the following special interest groups:
• SCADA and mainframe, IT systems engineer
• Darwin, or Palmerston, City Council elected member
• Swimming pool operator
• Civil Engineer (Power & Water Corporation, Darwin)
• Engineering Manager, Channel Island Power Station

• Specialist advisor, Department of the Chief Minister, NT Government.
