The cool summer suited us, our lawns are the best that I\u2019ve seen them at this time of year, and the garden beds look perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A major community sponsor of the Begonia Festival for more than 15 years, Central Highlands Water will be involved bringing a \u2018Smart, Safe and Sustainable\u2019 focus.<\/p>\n<p>With International Women\u2019s Day on the festival Sunday, CHW is shining a light on women in water. Innovation from scientists, including biologists, chemists, engineers and environmental specialists, keeps Ballarat enjoying safe, clean drinking water, and many of those experts at CHW are women.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_67431\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-67431\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-67431\" src=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/goldenplains\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/03\/IMG_1072-for-web-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-67431\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">New water bottles to be sold by CHW, fundraising for WRISC.
