In the first episode of the Let's Talk Water series, GWMWater Water manager and Grampians Storage manager Kym Wilson breaks down the basics of how water in managed in our regions - and how our water bodies maintain a strict balance.

In the video, Mr Wilson described his roles in the organisation, as a water manager making sure their is enough water in the system, and as a storage manager who keeps the region's water management in line with Victorian government standards.

Mr Wilson also described the way in which GWMWater keeps water in the most efficient locations and tracks evaporation.

Since 1997, the Grampians region has seen a 60 per cent decrease in water inflows, which Mr Wilson said has made the job of water preservation all the more crucial.

He also looked at how costs are managed by GWMWater, and where most of the money has been spent in water resource management.

Let's Talk Water will be posted to GWMWater's Facebook page - as well as appear in the corporation's weekly newsletter.
