Editors Comment

With the Australian mining industry in decline, water and waste water industries are providing new opportunities for Geosynthetic Manufacturers and Distributors in Australia from lining massive Crystal Lagoons to lining Algae ponds for waste water treatment and the lining of channels and water catchments.  As part of this increasing opportunity Melbourne is hosting two major water conferences in May with Trade Exhibitions hosting water authorities and liner companies.
