The School’s Water Research Laboratory at Manly
Vale saw the appointment of the a new Director,
Professor Ian Turner and the opening of the new
“Doug Foster” Wave Flume Research Facility by
the NSW Minister for Planning, the Honourable
Robert Stokes, MP. The new flume (44 m long
and 1.6M in depth) will significantly extend the
research capabilities at WRL and within WRC.
WRL also welcomed Associate Professor and
ARC Future Fellow Denis O’Carroll as a School
appointment, who’s research focus is on the fate
of engineered nanoparticle in the environment.
Grant success in WRC was lead by Australian
Research Council Linkage projects by Dr Fiona
Johnson, Professor Ashish Sharma, Professor David
Waite, Dr Peter Kovalsky and Professor Richard Stuetz
that was supported throughout by a range of competitive
research projects and applied research activities lead by the
WRL projects group.
We look forward to continued success and research developments into 2016.
Richard Stuetz WRC Director
The UNSW Water Research Centre (WRC) continued to perform during
2015 with staff and research students presenting at key national and

2. Year In Review
Australia’s biggest wave research simulator goes live.
The new large-scale wave flume was officially opened
by NSW Planning Minister Rob Stokes on the 20th July, and
named in the memory of Douglas Neil Foster (1930-2001),
widely known by engineers and researchers in the field as
‘the father of coastal engineering in Australia’. The new
facility is the largest of its kind in Australia which is 44m
long, 0.9m wide and 1.6m in depth. The new wave flume
facility is essential to model coastal and inland water
behaviour and will improve the Centre’s ability to deliver
practical advice and better inform ‘best practice’ design and
planning of future development around the NSW and
Australian coastlines.

in Tanzania. In the valley where Jacquie is working,
87% of extracted ground water from shallow open
wells is contaminated by nearby pit latrines.
Whilst in Australia, Jacquie gave a presentation on the
aims for a new research project - an observational
study for the World Health Organisation. The project
will study different existing WaSH interventions in
Tanzania, and determine their ability to protect people
from exposure to chemical and microbial agents, and
how this protection varies according to climate. Project
collaborators include Dr Fiona Johnson from the
UNSW Water Research Centre, and Dr Nobert Joel
from the University of Dar es Salaam.
Dr William Glamore appointed Expert Panel
UNSW academic, Dr William Glamore, has been
appointed as an Independent Expert to the NSW
Government’s Williamtown Expert Panel, and to
Chair the Water Working Group. The Expert
Panel will be led by NSW Chief Scientist &
Engineer Professor Mary O’Kane, and consist of
a range of technical experts in contamination and
health. It will also include senior representatives
from the Environment Protection Authority (EPA),
the Department of Health, the Department of
Primary Industries and the Hunter Water
Corporation.

3. The Centre
Operating out of two locations – Kensington campus (established in
1987) and the Water Research Laboratory, at Manly Vale
(established in 1959), the UNSW Water Research Centre (WRC) is
at the forefront of multidisciplinary research in water resources,
engineering, management and the development of tools for
environmental management and sustainability for improving the
aquatic and atmospheric environments.
The Water Research Centre director is Professor Richard Stuetz
and the Water Research Laboratory director is Professor Ian
Turner. As an externally funded research centre within the School
of Civil and Environmental Engineering, WRC interacts and
collaborates with industry, both State and Federal governments,
and research groups in other universities in Australia and overseas.
It maintains the largest postgraduate and undergraduate teaching
programmes in water engineering in Australia, and currently
supports 62 research engineers/scientists and 65 PhD research
students.
WRC is a large multidisciplinary water research group and plays a major role in the training of Australia's future water engineers.
The water industry in Australia underpins the entire Australian economy. Consequently, WRC is advised by senior water industry
leaders who make recommendations to the Director regarding strategies to ensure the ongoing relevance of the centre and its
ability to address and anticipate contemporary water issues.

Once again, WRC successfully secured ARC Linkage Grants announced in the latest round of industry-supported
research funding – 2 x Linkage Grants, 1 x DECRA, 1 x LIEF and the involvement of one other ARC linkage project
administered by another organisation.
Associate Professor Thomas Wiedmann and his team secured a
$260,000 LIEF grant to enhance the modelling capacity for the Industrial
Ecology Virtual Laboratory: This project aims to enable Australian research
leaders working on the integrated sustainability assessment of policies,
products and projects to collaborate in the Industrial Ecology Virtual Labor-
atory (IELab). It seeks to develop and implement an enhanced modelling
capability and suite of online analytical tools to support sustainability scien-
tists and analysts from Australia and abroad conducting research projects
of national and international significance.
Dr Xiaomin Li was funded $321,000 DECRA—Discovery Early Career
Research Award for his project to develop the kinetic (both in vivo and in
vitro) and thermodynamic models of the extracellular electron transfer pro-
cesses at the microbe-mineral interface via outer membrane cytochromes
and exudates of dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria, and elucidating the
potential electron transfer process from iron-reducing bacteria to semicon-
ducting iron minerals.
Professor David Waite and Dr Peter Kovalsky, along with Prof John
Fletcher have been awarded $560,000 to develop technology to cost-
effectively deionize water to make brackish, contaminated water usable –
with industry support from Shenzhen Pangu Environmental Technologies
Co Ltd. Dr Fiona Johnson and Professor Ashish Sharma lead a
$300,000 project with NSW Office of Water to provide a framework for
evaluating climate models on their representation of drought drivers and
then use this information to develop improved downscaling schemes.
We also congratulate Professor Richard Stuetz for his involvement with
the successful grant administered by the University of Wollongong. This
project aims to develop cost effective management approaches to enable
the use of anaerobic co-digestion — the conversion of organic wastes and
wastewater sludge to biogas for electricity production to realise the benefits
of co-digestion.
