Project Description

In Australia, remote and regional communities frequently manage relatively small, isolated water treatment and waste management systems which have water quality and health risks characteristic of small-scale decentralised operations. Australian water utilities have a wealth of experience in addressing these issues, and this project gathered and documented a series of case studies from Victoria, Tasmania and the Northern Territory to form a knowledge base that can be referred to in the future.
