Human & Environmental Health Impacts

Assessing water quality risk in water transmission and distribution systems affected by bushfires

Climate change is increasing the risk of more frequent, more intense, and more widespread bushfires…

Human & Environmental Health Impacts

Development of a Bayesian risk assessment tool to predict and manage the water quality impacts of extreme events in both metropolitan and smaller remote areas

The ADWG has methods for predicting risks to water quality, but these were not developed for managing extreme climate-change driven weather events such as bushfires or floods…

Source & Catchments

Bad tastes, odours and toxins in our drinking water reservoirs: Are benthic cyanobacteria the culprits?

Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) reduce water quality especially when they bloom and form high numbers of cells which produce toxins, and taste and odour compounds…

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…

Networks & Treatment

Capacitive deionisation for high recovery and low energy desalination of brackish water supplies

Remote and regional Australian communities commonly produce potable water by removing salt from brackish groundwater…

Source & Catchments

Cyanosurvey: A national update on toxic cyanobacteria and their distribution

This research has provided the most comprehensive account of the geographical distribution of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria), and the toxins they produce, in Australia…

Human & Environmental Health Impacts

Health effects of drinking water from rainwater tanks

Approximately 11% of Australians use rainwater as their main source of potable water but this poses a potential health risk caused by chemical contaminants or microbial pathogens from birds or mammals being washed off the roof…

Water Research Australia acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia. We pay our respects to Elders past and present.
