Sustainable Water Treatment System
View
Students from Monash Chemical Engineering have used the natural water treatment cycle found in nature as inspiration to develop a sustainable, stand-alone water treatment system that removes persistent organic pollutants from industrial wastewater.
Indigenous Water
View
The innovative Repairing Memory & Place: An Indigenous-led approach to urban water design research project received Australian Research Council funding in 2021, to integrate Indigenous ways of knowing with urban water management. The project aims to provide significant benefits by enabling the repair of ecological and cultural memory of place and enabling government agencies to apply Indigenous practices to everyday management of urban water towards a more sustainable water future.
The project is supported by an interdisciplinary team from Monash University, Melbourne Water, Museums Victoria, Bayside City Council, City of Port Phillip, and Boon Wurrung Foundation, and will sit within Monash University's Faculty, Wominjeka Djeembana Lab.
Providing clean water and sanitation
View
Two billion people lack access to sanitation and/or clean water, leading to chronic gut infections, compromised nutrition, and impaired development. Through a ‘one health’ approach, Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute is assessing and informing interventions to reduce these exposures. Professor Dena Lyras, an ARC Laureate Fellow, has dedicated her career to stopping anaerobic bacteria responsible for diarrhoea. Her team have revealed new insights into how clostridia persist in the environment as spores, invade the gut, and subvert the host response. In turn, she has used these insights to develop novel antimicrobials and immunotherapies.
