POU/POE Workshop
14 May 2008, Ballarat, Victoria

This workshop was held to disseminate the outcomes of research by the CRC for Water Quality and Treatment into point-of-use (POU) and point-of-entry (POE) systems to deliver drinking water quality to rural and remote communities. Water industry practitioners and regulators also discussed implementation issues relevant to the provision of drinking water supplies using decentralised processing.

The project is described in Research Report 50 Point of Entry/Use treatment for delivery of potable water (PDF file).
