CRC parties may request the relevant AwwaRF Reports via the CRC's corporate membership of AwwaRF by emailing pam.hayes@med.monash.edu.au
Information on pending AwwaRF reports for CRC projects is available in the Participant Area of the CRC web page.

GWRC Reports The CRC has carried out a number of projects in collaboration with the Global Water Research Foundation. Selected reports for GWRC projects led or coordinated by the CRC are available for downloading.
