Modelling Group

The Water New Zealand Modelling Special Interest Group caters to all people involved or interested in Modelling in the water industry. The group is co-ordinated by an enthusiastic management committee which meets regularly to discuss promotion and support of industry best practice in water modelling through education, events, and guidelines.

The Modelling Special Interest Group facilitates events to provide education, knowledge sharing and networking opportunities. Our premier event is an annual modelling symposium. To be notified of this and other upcoming events, or to join the committee please fill out the contact form below.
