The research program has four main teams looking at water quality science, urban systems science, infrastructure engineering and water systems engineering.

Research Program Leader

Professor Stewart Burn: improving Australia’s urban water systems

Professor Stewart Burn leads research that develops cost-effective, whole-system innovations to improve the efficiency and sustainability of Australia's urban water systems.

Research Team Leaders

Dr Simon Toze: leading research in water reuse

Dr Simon Toze is a microbiologist researching water quality in urban environments, in particular managed aquifer recharge and alternative water sources.

Dr Shiroma Maheepala: researching integrated urban water management

Dr Shiroma Maheepala is leading integrated urban water systems planning research to optimise strategic planning for the progressive transition to more sustainable urban water configurations.

Dr Donavan Marney: improving efficiencies within Australia's urban water networks

Dr Donavan Marney leads the Intelligent Networks Research Stream, a research effort aimed at improving efficiencies within Australia’s urban water networks through improved utilisation of emerging sensor network technologies.

Dr Ashok Sharma is researching sustainable water systems

Dr Ashok Sharma aims to advance the uptake of distributed and decentralised urban water systems to address the challenges faced by conventional systems.
