On 30 June 2008 the Cooperative Research Centre for Water Quality and Treatment completed its term of operation under the Commonwealth Agreement.

During its 13 years of operation the CRC undertook a broad portfolio of research and educational activities addressing issues relating to water quality management and health risk reduction, from catchment and reservoir management and water treatment to the distribution of drinking water to consumers' taps.

The CRC has been succeeded by Water Quality Research Australia Limited (WQRA), a national not-for-profit scientific research institution. WQRA will develop and undertake a program of research and education to build on the achievements of the CRC.

This web page will be maintained until 30 June 2009 and some sections will continue to be updated as Research Reports and other outputs from the CRC research program are completed and published. Updated items will be listed on this Home page and under What's New?. Other sections of this site should not be regarded as current and may contain outdated information.
