Tool box development for microbial source tracking water sources and catchments

‘Microbial source tracking’ (MST) is a technique that aims to identify the animal that excreted faeces and polluted water…

Source & Catchments

Comprehensive assessment of the impacts of climate change on reservoir quality in a range of climatic regions

Water utilities lack the information they need to implement risk-based adaptation and planning strategies that incorporate climate change…
