What: |
ACTEW's Water Conservation Office and Water Security - Major Projects are back for another year to participate in the 'Amazing World of Science' as part of the 2009 Australian Science Festival. Come and visit our display to discover the science behind ACTEW's many water-based activities. This year we are looking at ways to protect the many fish species that live at the Cotter and we'll have some very interesting rocks on display from the Cotter area that are over 420 Million years old. Plus for those of you who enjoy board games, why not try your luck at Snakes 'n' Ladders - water conservation style.
The ACTEW display will run throughout the 'Amazing World of Science', from Wednesday 27th May through to Saturday 30th May.
