Invitation to Register<br />
Waste stabilisation ponds and their allied systems have an important<br />
role to play in the future of wastewater management. There are many<br />
drivers which will lead to a renaissance in this technology. Water utilities<br />
are currently engaging with the ‘energy/water nexus’. How can we<br />
manage wastewater treatment while protecting the environment and at<br />
the same time reduce our impact on climate change via energy<br />
efficiencies or co-generation of energy Furthermore, many parts of the<br />
world including Australia have recently suffered droughts. A response is<br />
to increase wastewater reuse. Waste stabilisation ponds are important<br />
for pathogen reduction in many reuse schemes, contributing to the<br />
management of the exposure risk to public health. The development of<br />
more efficient designs and operating regimes will enhance pathogen<br />
removal and reduce evaporative losses for these systems and contribute<br />
to sustainable water resource management.<br />
These challenges are all themes within the program of the International<br />
Water Association’s 9th Specialist Group Conference on Waste<br />
Stabilisation Ponds. The expert peer review provided by the conference’s<br />
International Scientific Review Committee assures you that the papers<br />
presented within the multi-streamed technical sessions are of a very<br />
high calibre. Your engagement and participation in the conference will be<br />
actively encouraged during the innovative, facilitated Colloquia at the<br />
completion of all the respective conference streams.<br />
We invite you to enjoy the relaxed and friendly host city of Adelaide and<br />
the wider attractions of South Australia, including its fine wines, food<br />
and beaches. The post-conference technical tour will provide an<br />
opportunity not only to visit treatment systems but also to see some of<br />
the hills and vales of South Australia.<br />
We look forward to welcoming you to Adelaide in August<br />

Adelaide’s accessibility has always been positively received by convention<br />
organisers and delegates. In how many other major cities can delegates arrive at<br />
the airport, check into a five star hotel within half an hour, be just minutes from<br />
beautiful beaches and wineries<br />
Adelaide’s modern airport terminal, with state of the art facilities and sweeping<br />
views of the hills and beyond, ensures an exceptional welcome to South Australia.<br />
Located just 15 minutes from Adelaide’s central business district and minutes<br />
from the city’s famous beachside suburbs, Adelaide Airport is arguably the most<br />
conveniently located of all Australia’s capital city airports. Conference delegates<br />
visiting Adelaide are assured a quick, easy and inexpensive journey into the city<br />
centre.<br />
Adelaide enjoys high frequency, direct flights with Malaysia Airlines, Singapore<br />
Airlines, Qantas Airways, Cathay Pacific and Tiger Airways, conveniently connecting<br />
Adelaide to Asia and beyond. Air New Zealand operates direct between Adelaide<br />
and Auckland, connecting Adelaide to New Zealand and the United States.<br />
Adelaide’s central position on the continent ensures the most convenient gateway<br />
to the rest of Australia. Fast, frequent and affordable connections to all major<br />
domestic destinations with the major domestic carriers Qantas Airways, Virgin<br />
Blue, Jetstar Airways and Tiger Airways.<br />
The Stamford Grand Adelaide is located right on the beachfront at Glenelg, and<br />
provides beachside hotel accommodation, less than 20 minutes from the city, and<br />
only minutes from the airport.<br />
Glenelg is a vibrant seaside-shopping community that reflects the casual lifestyle<br />
and relaxing atmosphere of life by the sea. With long sandy beaches, enjoy any<br />
number of leisure activities by the sea including bike riding, sailing, fishing,<br />
shopping, cinemas or eating out.<br />
