Excerpt:

A NATIONAL testing facility for desalination research launched last Friday at Murdoch University’s Rockingham campus and announced its first national and local research projects.

The Hon. Gary Gray, MP Parliamentary Secretary for Western and Northern Australia, broke ground for the National Centre for Excellence in Desalination (NCED) on behalf of the Australian Government Minister for Climate Change, Energy Efficiency and Water, Senator Penny Wong, saying “We really are at the epicentre of something that’s extremely important—important for our community in a dry state and important for our industry.”
