As part of the Victorian Water Climate Initiative (VicWaCI),we hosted a series of webinars to improve and build a shared understanding of the impacts of climate change on water availability across the water sector.
These sessions detail some of the research findings by our researchers.
Hear from VicWaCI researchers about how Victoria's climate and water resources are changing.
