Water utilities lack the information they need to implement risk-based adaptation and planning strategies that incorporate climate change…
Cryptosporidium, a microscopic pathogen, forms infectious oocysts which are removed by specific and targeted water treatments…
The ADWG 2011 lacked objective, quantifiable criteria for measuring pathogen removal from source waters…
Chlorine removes harmful pathogens from water but has the disadvantage of forming disinfection by-products (DBPs) by reacting with organic matter sometimes found in water…
Cyanobacterial blooms are a major problem for reservoir managers because of the large numbers of cells and the toxins they contain…
Climate change is depleting water resources, while population increases drive demand for additional recreational facilities, particularly in the vicinity of urban centres…
This project developed analytical methods sensitive enough to detect the very low levels of compounds that leach out of old coal tar enamel-lined pipes, then catalogued the chemicals and the levels they were found at in a problematic pipeline…
Water is disinfected to remove harmful organisms, then filtered and treated to remove contaminating pollutants…
Cyanobacteria and actinobacteria inhabit natural water sources. When they bloom, their very high numbers reduce water quality…
This research discusses various water quality risk management techniques and proposes a step-by-step catchment risk assessment methodology that is compatible with the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines…
