To identify the sources of faecal contamination in investigated surface waters and to determine the significance of onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) as a major contributor to faecal contamination.

This paper discusses the outcomes of a research project which involved in-depth investigation of stormwater quality by analysing rainfall-runoff and water quality data from four urban residential catchments. The outcomes ...

Onsite wastewater treatment systems aim to assimilate domestic effluent into the environment. Unfortunately failure of such systems is common and inadequate effluent treatment can have serious environmental implications. ...

Onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) are becoming increasingly important for the treatment and dispersal of effluent in new urbanised developments that are not serviced by centralised wastewater collection and treatment ...

Soils have only a finite capacity for the removal of wastewater pollutants, and with time this capacity could decline. Not all soil types have the capacity to provide adequate treatment and dispersal of sewage effluent. ...

This paper presents the use of simple GIS approaches to translate a detailed risk-based decision framework for on-site-sewage-treatment-facility siting, design and management into the development assessment process. In ...

The Port of Brisbane Corporation is developing a world-class port facility at the mouth of the Brisbane River in Queensland. Located adjacent to the Moreton Bay Marine Park and within Australia's fastest growing region, ...

In the context of stormwater quality modelling, an in-depth understanding of underlying physical processes and the availability of reliable and accurate mathematical equations, which can replicate pollutant processes are ...

This paper presents outcomes of an investigation into the quality of storm water from urban surfaces. Mathematical replication equations were developed for pollutant build-up and wash-off for road and roof surfaces. Based ...

Through a case study analysis, this paper discusses the essential elements of successful university-industry partnerships in the context of the integration of the scholarships of teaching, research and application. This ...
