WRL’s 50th Anniversary Open Day
Posted by: Don on July 2nd, 2009The Water Research Laboratory (WRL) is celebrating 50 years in 2009, and as a part of our celebrations, we are holding an Open Day.
Saturday, 4th July
between 9 am and 2 pm
at 110 King St, Manly Vale (near Manly Dam)
The Water Research Laboratory is a unique facility undertaking various water engineering studies. A major component is the construction and testing of waves and water flow in large scale physical models of breakwaters, desalination plants, dams and spillways.
With several physical models on display, the Open Day is a great opportunity to visit WRL. We invite you to come and see the expanse and resources of WRL, and observe a range of physical models in action.
