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…

Networks & Treatment

Ecophysiology of microbes that produce taste/odour chemicals and their impact on drinking water treatability

Unexpected taste and odour (T&O) in drinking water is an emerging issue for the Australian water industry as it undermines customers’ trust in drinking water suppliers…

Source & Catchments

Identification and characterisation of unpleasant taste/odour chemicals in raw water for informed risk management

The Australian water industry is currently focused on two VOCs, namely geosmin and MIB, which release an earthy-musty smell…

Circular Economy

Investigating community attitudes to alternative water sources

To face the mounting pressures of increasing demands on depleting fresh water supplies, the water industries are compelled to explore alternative water supplies such as desalination, water recycling (Indirect and Direct Potable Reuse), and storm water reuse, among others…

Source & Catchments

Application of in situ fluorometers for monitoring algal blooms in water supply systems: potential for real time treatment validation and reactive chemical adjustment

Cyanobacterial blooms are a concern for water utilities due to the potential production of cyanotoxins and taste and odours…

Source & Catchments

Characterisation of Cyanobacteria and their metabolites by fluorescence

Detection of Algal and Cyanobacterial blooms have increased in lakes, rivers and reservoirs over the last two decades…

Human & Environmental Health Impacts

Olfactory GC analysis of taste and odour compounds

The presence of taste and odour (T&O) is a growing concern for the water industry due to negative associations with unsafe drinking water…

Human & Environmental Health Impacts

A case study investigating the impacts of coagulants on taste and odour reduction in drinking water

This project revised operational methodologies in all systems from catchment to tap providing an improved understanding of the resource and cost implications…

Networks & Treatment

Assessing granular activated carbon capacity for algal T & O removal: Development of a predictive tool

This project will use granular activated carbon to remove algal metabolites…

Source & Catchments

Developing guidance for assessment and evaluation of harmful algal blooms, and implementation of control strategies in source water

The environmental conditions which cause blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) blooms vary according to location, the climate, and other attributes of aquatic ecosystems…
