We are excited to invite our partners across industry, government, and research to join us for a special milestone event celebrating 3 years of the Centre for Water and Spatial Science (CWSS) at @UWAresearch
We are honoured to host the 2026 Henry Darcy Medal Seminar, delivered by Professor Sally Thompson, who will present: “Ecohydrological Adaptation to Climate Change – from Gondwana to the Globe”.
The afternoon will also feature:
• CWSS Centre overview and research highlights
• Posters from our HDR students, postdoctoral researchers, and academic staff showcasing projects across the Centre’s themes
• Networking session to connect, share ideas, and explore opportunities for collaboration
We look forward to welcoming you to UWA.
📍 Wilsmore Lecture Theatre & Bayliss Atrium, The University of Western Australia
🗓️ Tuesday 23 June 2026
🕒 3:30 PM – 6:30 PM (AWST)
🥗 Free drinks and nibbles provided
🎟️ Registration link: events.humanitix.com/cwss_ju…
Some models looking potentially very damp through north & eastern Wheatbelt + southern pastoral, with some areas looking at >100mm, some maybe close to 150mm+ for 4-day rainfall totals (most Monday/Tuesday), right through to 35-50mm+ in Esperance region out of TC-Mitchell.

Nice to see people investing in high-performance catchments with lined dams…max water quantity plus quality.
In Eyre Peninsular SA after long dry season talking desalination & looking at unconventional water sources. Seen several plastic sheeted catchments -2ha with 10 ML dams $100-200k built by #WaterSmart farmers @NikCallow

Out with the @AustPlantPhenom Gobi (LiDAR and hyperspectral), multispectral and 120MP camera getting data for @CWSS_UWA @AHRI_Team @SAgE_UWA project. We are providing next-level data to support farming systems and weed @theGRDC research

In the latest episode from the #WADroughtHub Dry Season Resources podcast, Dr John Duncan (UWA) & Dr Daniel Kidd (GGA) unpack the new Water Evaluation Platform (WEP) - a web app from the WaterSmart Dams project that helps landholders model dam & catchment performance for smarter, drought-resilient decisions.

#smartdams water testing….no good just having 💦, quality matters a LOT and makes up 99%+ of what goes in and out of a spray tank. Team effort this week between @CWSS_UWA and FBG. WaterSmart Dams project with the @GGA_WA and Future Drought Fund

What a great article by @SEPWA_ag , a great example of what water security looks like: catchments that fill dams and work in low rainfall, use every last drop off sheds, invest in large tanks, interconnection around the farm.
Scott Wandel is improving water storage and operational efficiency on his farm, with the aim to have the capacity to store 10 million litres in roofed tanks strategically located across his property.
