Monash and CSIRO Partnership to Revitalise Citarum River
View
The Citarum Project, a partnership between Monash University, Universitas Indonesia, Universitas Padjadjaran, the Indonesian Government, communities and local NGOs, received a two-year funding commitment from CSIRO to develop and implement a waste monitoring program for the Citarum River.
Co-led by Monash Art, Design & Architecture and the Monash Sustainable Development Institute, the Citarum Project aims to create clean, healthy and productive rivers and communities around the Citarum River by co-designing new infrastructure, behaviour programs, business models and institutions to help communities move away from dumping or discharging waste into the environment, and shift towards circular solutions that recycle, remanufacture and reuse waste
