As the global population grows, the world is increasingly constrained by water stress. In arid economies this poses a unique set of challenges that require the ability to integrate different skills into high impact teams. In the case of Australia, a major contributor to the economy is mining. This suggests that growing demands will be made on the Social License to Operate, which will directly impact the investor confidence needed to sustain economic growth.
This webinar provides insight into a conceptual model of water as a changing risk over time. It defines threshold events typically associated with transition from one phase of development to another. Central to this is the need to deal with the cumulative impact of past engineering interventions, which introduces the notion of non-linearity into the process. It also proposes a new paradigm capable of integrating a broader range of skill sets into technical teams by aligning their output with strategic interests such as investment risk.
