Research Projects
Current projects
BUOY for public notification of recreational water quality.
This project will develop a semi-real-time monitoring platform (a buoy) for public notification of recreational water quality. The buoy will analyse the water quality in-situ for microbial concentrations. A “smart material” with colour switching ability is coated on the surface, which turns red when water quality is poor to inform the community not to swim. The system will be self-powered (solar cells) and automatic.
Beach Guard -Tanti creek SEW.
Beach Guard-Tanti Creek Study South East Water
Faercal contamination of waterways from stormwater has serious implications for the health of recreational users and ecosystem services in the receiving environment. This project will investigate the most effective detection methods to identify faecal pollution in waterways.
Past projects
Aquarevo-Challenge Testing SEW.
Research aim is to challenge test rainwater to hot water treatment system designed the Aquavero site for South East Water, with a specific focus on the ability of the system to remove pathogenic microorganisms which may be present in roof water.
