Abstract

In this talk, Prof Zhiguo Yuan will outline the research activities at the Advanced Water Management Centre at The University of Queensland. AWMC has a research program covering the entire urban water cycle including drinking water production and distribution, sewer asset management, wastewater treatment, and resource recovery from wastewater including both water recycling and nutrient recovery. The expertise in all these areas is being effectively integrated to enable a whole-of-water-cycle approach to integrated urban water management. Prof Yuan will also explain how the AWMC has effectively integrated fundamental science and applied research to deliver innovative solutions to the industry.
