02 Industry Advisory Committee
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. WRC derives approximately 50% of its total research funding directly from industry. Consequently, WRC is advised by senior water industry leaders who make recommendations to the Co-Directors regarding strategies to ensure the ongoing relevance of the centre and its ability to address and anticipate contemporary water issues.

03 About UNSW WRC
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 two WRC co-directors are Prof Richard Stuetz and A/Prof Bill Peirson. 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 79 research engineers/scientists and 72 PhD research students.
Our Structure 3.1
The Centre is active in fundamental water research in Australia, particularly in the fields of:
Surface and groundwater hydrology - ongoing Australian leadership of the quantifying of rainfall, runoff and ground water flows at catchment scales. Specialist large scale facilities are actively used at our Water Research Laboratory.
Public health and water treatment - fundamental investigations of the chemistry and microbiology of water for urban use providing multidisciplinary research in water and wastewater engineering and the development of tools for environmental management and sustainability for improving the aquatic and atmospheric environments.
Civil and environmental hydraulics - undertaking practical project-based and theoretical hydraulics research, water supply for rivers, lakes, estuaries and coast. This research is undertaken using the unique large-scale facilities of the Water Research Laboratory at Manly Vale.
WRC’s activities are grouped around three dominant research themes:
Water Supply - Australia is a continent of low rainfall and its development and economic robustness is constrained by presently available and potential water supplies.
The Coast - Over 86% of the Australian community live in the coastal zone with consequent environmental impact and climate vulnerabilities.
Sustainability - To maintain Australia’s current level of population and economic growth, water and contamination management, with innovative solutions in terms of environmental, energy and social considerations.

Project Initiatives
Tommy began work on the Australian Industrial Ecology Virtual Laboratory (IELab). A Virtual Laboratory (VL) is a novel concept aimed at connecting researchers to research facilities, data repositories and computational tools on a national scale. The Industrial Ecology Lab (IE) is a VL that targets a well-described, significant research challenge: the compilation and use of a time series of Australian sub-national Multi- Regional Input-Output (MRIO) tables.
IO tables describe the economic flows of goods and services from one sector of an economy to another. Modern computing power has allowed the creation of international MRIO tables that trace circuitous supply routes through the complex economic systems of the globe. These previous MRIO tables have yielded information about global trade-offs between environmental and economic objectives, and thus guide policy decisions on global matters like allocating fair shares of the climate change burden.
Rather than tracing the flows of goods between international countries, the IE-VL has disaggregated the Australian economy into 2196 regions according to the Australian Bureaus of Statistics’ Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) classification, each with 1,284 individual sectors. The resulting ten year MRIO time series allows for economic, environmental and social analysis at a detail and breadth not before obtainable for Australia.
WRC's contribution to the IELab project is the writing of data feeds for state-level input-output data and household expenditure data.

2013 EA Sydney Excellence Awards
National Trust Heritage Award for environmental conservation
A near decade-long restoration project of a Hunter Valley wetland has earned a team of engineers from the UNSW Water Research Laboratory a National Trust Heritage Award for environmental conservation. Jamie Ruprecht, Will Glamore and Duncan Rayner restored to roughly 600 hectares at the Tomago Wetlands just north of Newcastle.
As part of their restoration project, Dr Glamore and his team from WRL have developed an automated floodgate system called SmartGate, which controls, at various points, the volume of water re-entering the wetland. Construction of the third and final stage of the restoration plan is now underway and proceeding well. The project also involves the NSW Parks and Wildlife Services and NSW Fisheries.
Dr William Glamore - Peter Cullen Fellowship
Dr William Glamore of the Water Research Laboratory was the first person at UNSW to be awarded a Peter Cullen Fellowship. This fellowship contributes to effective leadership, communication and collaboration among those who plan, manage and research Australia’s water and environmental resources. Fellows are expected to lead public debate and inform sound water management decisions.
This highly competitive program raises awareness of key issues amongst mid-career rising stars and builds leadership and communication skills geared towards bringing about positive change in water and catchment management in Australia.

ARC Linkage Grants
Dr Rita Henderson & Prof Richard Stuetz for their project “On-line monitoring fo cyanbacteria to predict coagulant doses and powdered activated carbon application in water treatment”.
Prof Ashish Sharma for his project on “A decadal to Inter-decadal streamflow prediction system”.
Research Student Forum
December’s Research Student forum showcased the practical and cutting edge research within the CVEN School. The evening provides a chance for industry colleagues to more closely interact with our research students and academic staff. Yulia Shutova was awarded the Environmental Prize and also shared the Overall Prize for Research Excellence with Melissa Duell.
Yulia’s topic is Monitoring organic matter during drinking water treatment using a fluorescence spectroscopy.
Bryce Neyland - Engineers Australia Rod McGee medal
Honours student Bryce Neyland has won the 2013 Engineers Australia Rod McGee medal. The Medal recognises and encourages engineering students to engage in career opportunities in public works engineering. One award is offered each year to undergraduate students in their final year of Civil Engineering.
Working with Associate Professor Bill Peirson, Bryce’s fourth year honours thesis explored the topic of mitigating evaporation from farm dams. As Bryce noted, water security in rural areas is a national and recurring problem, and at times of drought push producers to the economic and emotional brink.
Yi Liu - Malcolm Chaikin Prize
Yi Liu was awarded the Malcom Chaikin Prize for the best PhD thesis in UNSW Faculty of Engineering. This prestigious prize carries with it a Medal and $10,000 in recognition for the excellence demonstrated by a doctoral student in Engineering.
Yi completed his PhD degree under the supervision of A/Prof Matthew McCabe and A/Prof Jason Evans from the Climate Change Research Centre, on the topic of "using satellite based microwave observations to characterize land surface hydrology". He used remote sensing techniques to monitor elements of Earth’s hydrological cycle, at both the regional and global scale. Much of his research effort was focused on developing long term global products of soil moisture and vegetation water content to aid in the examination of water cycle and climate variability. These satellite products were the first of their kind in the world. The multi-decadal blended dataset resulting from his PhD has been released to the public via the European Space Agency (ESA) as their standard product. These unique data allow a capacity to directly observe the hydrological cycle, understand its partitioning and examine the influence of climate change on the variability of water distribution locally and globally. His work is undoubtedly at the cutting-edge .

WRL Coastal Imaging Facelift
WRL’s ARGUS Coastal Imaging stations have been monitoring sand movement on the Southern Gold Coast beaches for approximately 15 years. The information from this monitoring program, is provided to the Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypassing Project (TRESBP) to assist with management of the sand bypassing scheme at the Tweed River Entrance.
In early 2013, WRL upgraded each of the Coastal Imaging systems which now provide higher resolution pictures and more accurate analysis. WRL has been awarded a three year monitoring contract with the City of Gold Coast to once again provide Coastal Imaging for Palm Beach and the Surfers Paradise area. A range of new monitoring cameras are being installed at these sites, along with an expansion of the beach monitoring program to include analysis of beach users and wave breaking conditions on the Gold Coast Reef.
Hydrology Research Reignites at Fowlers Gap
The Fowlers Gap Arid Zone Research Station has undertaken founding research in the fields of science and engineering for many decades. The research station was pioneer to arid climate studies undertaken by the Water Department in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the UNSW between the 1970’s and 1990’s. These studies looked at various facets of Australian arid climate hydrology and included collecting invaluable data on rainfall distribution, surface runoff, evaporation and stream flow in a semi-arid environment. WRL in collaboration with the Connected Waters Initiative has taken the lead in reigniting interest in the site with state-of-the-art hydrological and hydrogeological infrastructure.
On-ground Action at Big Swamp
Following a recent WRL report outlining an on-ground strategy to combat acid drainage, large scale earthworks have commenced at Big Swamp. Located in the lower Manning River Estuary, portions of the wetland have been acquired by Council and over 600 hectares are currently being redesigned and reconstructed. The works are being undertaken by Greater Taree City Council as part of a large “Caring for Country” Project for the Big Swamp floodplain.
This is the most extensive saltwater wetland rehabilitations ever undertaken in Australia and follows closely behind the major rehabilitations presently underway at Tomago in which WRL has played a key strategic design and monitoring role.
Coastal Adaptation Needs for Extreme Events and Climate Change, Avarua, Rarotonga, Cook Islands
WRL commenced this project in June 2012 and has been working in conjunction with Climate Change Cook Islands. The project was intended to investigate the vulnerability of the Avarua township (capital of the Cook Islands) to extreme cyclone events and climate change, as well as providing guidance on adaptation options.
This project included collection of extensive topographic and bathymetric data as well as wave and inundation modelling to unveil the key coastal processes that occur at the site during cyclone events. WRL has identified the likely impacts, coastal hazards and costs using GIS mapping of the island and its community. Final results of the study were presented to Cook Islands government agencies in Rarotonga.

Riverbank Vulnerability Assessment of the Shoalhaven River The Shoalhaven River estuary is a major asset for locals and visitors, and has a long history of recreational boating. The Southern Rivers Catchment Management Authority (SRCMA) engaged WRL to conduct a boat wake wave and riverbank assessment of the Shoalhaven River using the Decision Support System (DSS) developed at WRL. The detailed assessment process has provided a greater understanding of the issues surrounding riverbank erosion and boat waves on the Shoalhaven River. This project continues a 40 year track record of developing new techniques for diagnosing bank erosion, monitoring, rehabilitation and techniques for resolving community issues in relation to Australia’s extensive coastal river systems.
International Review of Artificial Reefs Artificial reefs are constructed, submerged structures that provide protection of sandy coasts thereby avoiding the undesirable aspects of constructed protection on the coast itself. During 2013, WRL Coastal Engineers reviewed internationally the application and use of artificial reefs for providing coastal protection on behalf of the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH). The purpose of this review was to evaluate the potential future use of artificial reefs in NSW. The review summarised the present understanding in terms of the design for structural stability, hydrodynamic processes, and the morphological beach response for submerged coastal structures such as multi-purpose reefs (MPRs), artificial surfing reefs (ASRs) and submerged breakwaters.
Precious Old Swamps and New Ideas Temperate Highland Peat Swamps on Sandstone are unique wetlands listed as endangered ecologic communities by both the NSW and Commonwealth Governments. The slow growing swamps have distinct ecological characteristics and are located throughout the Blue Mountains, Newnes Plateau and the Sydney Basin. For the past 2 years, WRL staff have been investigating the potential impact, mitigation techniques and remediation strategies of these upland swamps when impacted by longwall mining.
Future Coasts - Port Fairy Coastal Hazard Assessment WRL has recently undertaken a detailed sea level rise and coastal hazard assessment for Moyne Shire Council, Victoria. This project was jointly funded by Moyne Shire Council and the Victorian Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE), and is part of the Future Coasts Program. The main purpose of the Future Coasts Program is to better understand and plan for the risks associated with sea level rise and storm surge. Port Fairy has been identified as one of the priority locations along the coast for more detailed local coastal hazards assessment. This strategic study continues WRL’s track record of providing key advice on impacts and management of climate-impacted coasts.
