IWN Hydrovation Challenge
Have you heard of the Hydrovation Challenge? It’s an innovation competition started by Intelligent Water Networks (IWN) to find new ways of addressing common problems. So far, the state’s eastern region has been judged.
Congratulations to:
- Toby Sparks from Gippsland Water whose idea is based on an automated flushing device
- Meg Humphreys from Westernport Water who made a video about her idea to conduct a feasibility study on teal carbon capture opportunities in a restored wetland filled with recycled water
These two ideas will go to the state finals, where the winner will receive $10,000 in seed funding and $5,000 for professional development. Thank you to our eastern region judges: Mark Lynch, Mathew Scott, Melissa Thek and Gareth Kennedy. Stay tuned for the next round of regional winners!
