Empowering the Peel Valley: WaterInsights Presentation Recap

On Tuesday, September 17, we hosted a special presentation at the UNE Centre in Tamworth, introducing the WaterInsights platform managed by WaterNSW. Our guest speaker, Kate Masters, provided an in-depth walkthrough of how water is managed and shared across New South Wales, with a focus on the Peel Valley.

Participants brought their own devices and followed along as Kate demonstrated how to access vital data on water storage, usage, and allocation. This hands-on session equipped attendees with the tools they need to monitor water resources in real-time, helping the community make informed decisions about water management.

The event was a great success, with 14 participants and an interactive Q&A session to wrap up the evening. This initiative is a step towards fostering better water stewardship in the Peel Valley.

Key Facts:

  • 14 participants attended, with Kate Masters from WaterNSW as the guest speaker.
  • The session covered Peel Valley-specific water data and management tools.
  • Participants used their devices for a hands-on experience.
  • Positive feedback highlighted the practical value of the session.

Stay tuned for future events where we’ll dive deeper into local water management topics!
