WaterRA (formerly WQRA) marks the successful transition from the federally funded CRC for Water Quality and Treatment, to a company that is owned and funded by its members, including Australian water utilities, research organisations, government departments and private companies. WaterRA brings together key water research groups and industry members across Australia to conduct targeted, priority research. These relationships place WaterRA in a unique position to draw on the expertise and experience of its membership community to rapidly address current and emerging issues in water.
