South East Water has developed a vibration sensor device named Sotto to detect leaks within its network in order to reduce wastage…
With Australia’s annual average temperatures increasing, evidence shows that a warming-induced increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) released from soils leads to a rise in the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere…
This project will conduct a critical review of scalable algal control methods within wastewater lagoons, drinking water reservoirs, and constructed water bodies…
The 2019-20 bushfire season in Australia was unprecedented in its extent, duration, intensity and impact on the natural environment and human livelihoods…
Climate change is increasing the risk of more frequent, more intense, and more widespread bushfires…
This research will investigate combining prediction and optimisation (predict-plus-optimise) to better manage peak sewage flows…
Water utilities invest significant resources in research, but the full impact may not be maximised if knowledge exchange between project participants and end users is not effective…
This project is investigating whether satellite remote sensing data can be used to calibrate the Integrated Water Quality Model, and to augment WaterNSW’s quantitative analysis of water quality parameters in drinking water catchments…
This project is being driven by the need for water utilities and regulators to have up-to-date and peer-reviewed information on the pathogen risk associated with different animals being found in treated treated water assets or storage tanks…
Historic gold mining has left a legacy of toxic waste which has contaminated soils and water globally…
Composting is an aerobic microbiological process, during which organic waste is biologically degraded by microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) in a series of processes…
Pyrolysis of biosolids is becoming more prevalent in Australia and is emerging as an opportunity to enhance solids handling associated with wastewater treatment, as the process can destroy several contaminants of concern…
