The Centre For Water Research

Water Quality Management (WQM)

The core of this theme is to develop hardware and software technologies to support the management of water quality in aquatic ecosystems. Major water quality concerns include Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB's), pathogen contamination, and contamination by chemical contaminants (eg. heavy metals, organic chemicals). The various focus areas are described under the sub-theme headings below.

• Contaminant Detection Methods
  
• Contaminant Fate and Transport
  
• Engineering Solutions to Water Quality Problems
  
• Hydroinformatics and Numerical Modelling
