Cyanobacterial Research Technology Transfer Workshops

22 March 2007 - Perth
15 November 2006 - Adelaide
7 December 2006 - Melbourne
8 December 2006 - Sydney
12 December 2006 - Brisbane

With the drought diminishing the nation's water resources there is a need to be proactive in managing water quality and ensure barriers are in place to reduce the risk from cyanobacteria. Unfortunately, there are no silver bullets for cyanobacteria but there are a number of reservoir management tools and treatment options available to reduce cyanobacterial abundance in reservoirs and remove the toxins, taste and odours in treatment.

These workshops presented the findings of a major research program carried out by the Cooperative Research Centre for Water Quality and Treatment into areas such as guidelines for cyanobacterial toxins, detection methods for cyanobacteria and their toxins, understanding cyanobacterial growth, sampling and monitoring, reservoir management and water treatment options for toxins and taste and odour compounds. A Technical Factsheet which summarises key research findings and knowledge of how to manage cyanobacteria in reservoirs and treatment plants is available.

This workshop, held in conjunction with the NSW Branch of the Australian Water Association and the NSW Water Directorate, examined the hows and whys of water treatment.

The event was aimed at regional water treatment engineers and managers and focused on areas of interest including:
* Assessing Treatment Requirements
* Procurement Options for Councils
* Improving Water Quality
* Operations and Maintenance

See the AWA NSW Branch web page for further details.

Water for a Sustainable Future – the Role of Recycling
8-9 February 2005
Melbourne, VIC

This workshop was aimed at practitioners, policy makers, and researchers involved in the use and promotion of water recycling in industrial, rural and/or urban environments. Based on the Australian and United States experience, the concepts and issues involved in water recycling were examined for all environments and the most recent technologies were discussed. A panel discussion exploring the future of water recycling concluded the two days.

Jointly presented by the School of Civil & Chemical Engineering RMIT and the Institute of Environment UCLA.

A one-day project development workshop for the CRC Catchments Program was open to CRC parties and associates.

NOM Research Conference: Innovations and applications for drinking water
2-5 March 2004
Victor Harbour, South Australia

Over the past 20 years excellent research has been undertaken to gain an understanding of NOM and how it impacts on water treatment processes and the distribution system. The drinking water industry has a vast knowledge base on NOM from which to draw. However, one aspect that has been lacking to date is the application of this knowledge at the level of the water source and water treatment plant

This conference focused on the practical application of NOM research for the water supply community. Innovations in the management of NOM in the catchment, source water, treatment processes and distribution systems will be highlighted.

See the Conference Web Page for more details.

This workshop focused on an overview of contemporary sensor research and technology currently used by industry. The program included formal presentations from national and international experts and open forum discussions of key issues. Priority areas for investment by CRCWQT/Industry in R&D of sensor and monitoring systems for drinking water (and wastewater) were also identified.

This workshop was the initial forum to launch CRC Project 2.1.0.1 - Understanding the impacts of recreational access on drinking water catchments and storages in Australia.
The workshop covered key aspects to this project including:
* The reasons for recreational pressure in drinking water catchments
* Existing knowledge on the impacts
* A state-by-state perspective (including what is known about their issues)
* Identification of knowledge gaps and priorities for action
* Expectations of the final product from this project
* Suggested case studies

In response to water industry requests, the CRC is undertaking development of a wastewater research strategy - an additional area of work which is complementary to the CRC's primary focus on drinking water. This initiative is being funded by interested parties separately from core CRC activities. Discussions have been held with each contributing CRC participant to determine their research requirements, and a compilation of identified research needs was circulated for consideration prior to this workshop. At the workshop, strategic goals were discussed by these participants, together with research projects which forward these goals or address immediate information needs.
