WELCOME FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

Welcome to the 2016 School of Natural and Built Environments Research Colloquium

event for our staff and higher degree by research students. The School contains a vibrant

mix of disciplines that cover the diverse aspects of both the built and natural

environments including Civil Engineering, Construction and Project Management,

Environmental and Geospatial Sciences. From this interdisciplinary platform, we aim to

educate outstanding research‐embedded practitioners and leaders and address research

questions in key application areas using multi‐disciplinary teams and strong international

networks.

NBE currently has in excess of 100 PhD students who are investigating a wide range of problems of direct relevance

to the natural and built environments. This is only one measure of how the School of NBE is becoming highly

productive in terms of its research outputs and the School is particularly keen to support outcome‐related research

and development in our areas of demonstrated excellence. We also aim to support innovation to underpin future

economic and social development in the communities in which NBE operates. To this end we are creating and

supporting new interdisciplinary PhD programs.

The purpose of this research colloquium is to celebrate the highly innovative and exciting research occurring within

the School today. In addition, this colloquium provides a significant and important opportunity to develop

collaborations between and amongst our graduate students and academic staff. The students come together in a

collegial atmosphere to learn about the research of others, receive input from academics and relevant industry leaders

and practitioners, and to observe and discuss the development of research projects within the school.

The organising team is to be congratulated on developing such an exciting program that demonstrates the way in

which NBE embraces cross‐disciplinary research challenges while leveraging our core strengths. The energy behind

this achievement is undoubtedly provided by the Research Staff and Students of NBE!

WELCOME FROM THE DIRECTOR OF NBERC

This year has seen important developments in our School of Natural and Built Environments

and the Division of IT, Engineering and Environments, that include the establishment of the

Natural and Built Environments Research Centre [NBERC] and the Future Industries Institute

[FII]. NBERC with its four strands of Education, Environmental Stewardship, Smart and

Healthy Communities and Water and Natural Resources, is based on recognition of the need

in our school of a center that supports our academic and research staff and postgraduate

students from all its disciplines. Together with the four research strands, are NBREC’s two

commercially focused testing groups, SMAG - Specialized Testing and Research Unit and the

Australian Flows Management Group that provide geotechnical services, commercial testing

and research on structures and concrete technologies and on water metering, water technology development and

testing, respectively.

A key aim of NBERC is supporting a vibrant research culture and progressive environment that enables innovative

research and development of research skills in our staff and postgraduate students. Our research provides

significant and practically relevant outcomes for industries, governments, communities and individuals, and through

NBERC it is our vision that this will continue to grow in the future.

Collaborative research opportunities are developed through NBERC’s strand activities and supported in several ways

including seed funding from the school and the division, such as the Partnership Enabling Grant Scheme (PEGS). The

aim of these is to promote collaborative research between academics, researchers and HDRs of the various school

disciplines and research team building between staff of NBE, FII and our HDR students. In doing so, research needs

can be better addressed based on the research being multi and inter disciplinary and thereby being of a more

holistic approach.

The 2016 Colloquium has an exciting program of presentations from staff and HDR students of the school’s various

research and discipline areas, and from HDR students of the FII. It provides an excellent opportunity to show case

and gaining knowledge of the broad spectrum of the high quality, leading edge research being undertaken. I would

like to thank the 2016 Colloquium Committee, our professional, academic and research staff, HDR students and our

school’s leadership group for their strong support and participation in this event.

I hope all participants will enjoy the 2016 Colloquium.

ABOUT THE SCHOOL OF NBE

The School of Natural and Built Environments focuses on the unique relationships and synergies between natural

and built environments, with a particular interest in teaching and research to support improved environmental and

socio-economic sustainability for the future.

The School is located across two campuses – in the heart of Adelaide at the City East Campus and at the expanding

and vibrant new suburb of Mawson Lakes on the northern fringe of the City. As part of the Division of Information

Technology, Engineering and the Environment (ITEE), the School offers applied and relevant programs that take

students out of the classroom and into the field.

Civil Engineering

UniSA was ranked 69th in the world in Engineering and Technology in the 2014-15 Times Higher Education World

University Rankings. As well as this outstanding achievement, we are very proud that the UniSA Civil Engineering

program was ranked first in Australia in the 2012 Graduate Course Experience Questionnaire, and third in the same

survey in 2013. Our Civil Engineering programs place particular emphasis on the application of theory through focused

project and assignment work. By the final year of the degrees, fifty per cent of the courses are project based including

a major industry related research project and a design project that models industry experience. This strong industry

focus ensures that graduates are already familiar with the industry needs and modes of operation when they

commence employment. The programs are accredited by Engineers Australia. Industry links include the Department

of Planning, Transport & Infrastructure (DPTI), SA Water, Built Environs and several other industry partners - all of

whom provide scholarships for students in the program. The School coordinates regular industry lectures as well as

industry sponsored student projects.

Construction Management and Economics

UniSA offers the only construction management degrees in South Australia and these are some of the most accredited

construction management and economics programs in Australia. Students can study a broad range of courses, which

include coverage of sophisticated construction techniques, building surveying and estimating, design economics,

contract administration, project management, planning and more. All undergraduate and postgraduate programs

provide the education and training required to reach a professional level and have a number of key industry links.

Environmental Management and Geospatial Science

Programs offered in the Environmental and Geospatial Sciences discipline provide students with a broad

understanding of environmental issues and a blend of geospatial science fundamentals with applications in

environmental management and modelling. The programs also share a common first year, allowing the flexibility to

move between the awards as career aspirations become clear.

Our Bachelor of Sustainable Environments (Honours Year) presents excellent research training for students going on

to undertake a research masters or PhD.

Graduates are qualified to work in a wide variety of positions related to the natural and built environments and the

multi-disciplinary nature of the programs, as well as a strong focus on practical components of learning and active

fieldwork, provides expertise in the natural, spatial and social sciences. Graduates are employed in the private and

government sectors in all Australian states and several overseas countries.

FIRST YEAR HDR PRESENTATIONS

XIAYUAN WU

Degree: Doctor of Philosophy – Environmental Science and Engineering

Supervisors: Assoc. Prof Erica Donner, Prof Chris Saint, Prof Enzo Lombi

Thesis title: Characterisation of bacteria involved in triclosan degradation

Presentation title: Investigating the factors controlling antibiotic resistance genes in wastewater

Abstract:

The global rise of antibiotic resistance threatens to undermine the ability to fight infectious diseases. 700,000 people have been killed each year by antibiotic resistant infections in the world. An emerging concern is that wastewater may serve as a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), creating the risk of ARGs transmission back to humans. Wastewater can even act as an evolutionary hotspot to facilitate the proliferation and propagation of ARGs, although a series of treatment strategies are applied. However, the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are still unclear. Particularly, the concomitant presence in wastewater of antibiotics and metals could trigger the co-selection of resistance genes. Nevertheless the role that antibiotics and metals play on the fate of ARGs remains ambiguous. The potential mechanisms of co-selection have been unravelled only based on isolates, which may not be representative of microbial communities impacted by multiple variables in a realistic environment. The aim of this project is to investigate the factors controlling ARGs in wastewater, particularly antibiotic and metal co-selection for ARGs. Firstly, a survey of ARGs will be conducted, at different treatment steps, in three wastewater treatment plants in South Australia. Secondly, selected antibiotics and metals will be variously combined to study the mechanisms of co-selection toward ARGs in raw municipal wastewater by using activated sludge bioreactor and anaerobic digestion bioreactor under different conditions. Finally, the potential risk of wastewater effluent discharged into natural environment will be assessed by investigating antibiotic and metal co-selection in two kinds of effluent-receiving waters (river and sea).

Thesis title: Relating sphere of influence to soil suction and plants water pulling rate for optimum irrigation scheduling

Presentation title: Initial Soil Moisture effects on Flash Flood Generation in Urbanised Catchments in South Australian Semi-Arid Climate

Abstract:

Flash floods that occur due to an excessive rainfall and subsequent rapid rise of runoff over a relatively short period of time in a relatively small catchment will result in severe damages to the society, economy and the environment. Over the years, various hydrological models have been adopted to quantify the magnitude and lead time of flash flood events. Reliability of those estimates heavily depends on the accuracy of rainfall event data and catchment data such as soil permeability, soil water holding capacity, antecedent soil moisture conditions, land use characteristics and the topography. The effect of initial soil moisture on flash flood generation from urbanised catchments in semi-arid climate is yet to be understood. In this research study, the impact of initial soil moisture on the reliability of flash flood forecasting in urbanised catchments in South Australia will be investigated by developing physically-based distributed hydrological model for Dry Creek catchment. It is also expected to investigate suitability of soil moisture map derived using method of remote sensing by Bureau of Meteorology over the soil moisture probe method for computing reliable initial soil moisture information for flash flood forecasting.

MONA MOSALLANEJAD


Supervisors: Dr Sekhar Somenahalli, Dr Wen Yue

Thesis title: OD estimation for public transportation in Adelaide

Presentation title: Estimation of the Origin ̶ Destination matrix for multimodal public transport using smart card data

Abstract:

With the introduction of smart cards as fare payment system and ever-increasing popularity of Automatic Data Collection System (ADCS), there is a need to develop approaches for accurate estimation of Origin ̶ Destination (OD) matrices from smart card data. In comparison with traditional survey, which are expensive and are only suited to elaborate snapshot situation, smart card data could be used to examine the whole network which is essential for transit planners. Identification of travel demand is an important criterion to facilitate public transport systems. Public transport planners, model travel behaviour to estimate the demand of traffic at various times. One approach is to use OD matrices which highlight daily patterns of travelling. An OD matrix indicates the boarding and alighting stations of an individual person and accumulates all data for elaborating travel patterns for a specific route over a specific time. This proposed research will develop a new method to extract an OD matrix for public transport based on smart card data to investigate travel demand. The other objective of this study includes the estimation of public transport passenger behaviour by analysing information relating to the trip purpose. The knowledge of travel demand facilitates the design of appropriate public transport routes, the optimization of schedules and as a result encourage people to use this mode of transportation.

RUCHINI SENARATH JAYASINGHE

Degree: Doctor of Philosophy – Project Management

Supervisors: Dr Rameez Rameezdeen & Dr Nicholas Chileshe

Thesis title: Risks in reverse logistics: a building information modelling enabled risk management model

Presentation title: Risks in Reverse Logistics: A Building Information Modelling Enabled Risk Management Framework

Abstract:

Construction industry is a major consumer of materials and at the same time a major producer of waste. Enormous amounts of materials and energy are embodied in the built environment and at the end of life these materials and energy are disposed-off to landfills. This research will address the problem of waste generation in the built environment through the promotion of deconstruction, recovery and reverse logistics at the end of life with a focus on mitigating risks of the reverse supply chain, namely the Reverse Logistics (RL). Despite the significance of RL for an environmentally sustainable construction industry, risk and uncertainties are identified as crucial barriers of its implementation. However, very scant information is available on the type of risks and their impact on RL and very little work has been done on risk identification, categorisation, and analysis. Furthermore, traditional risk management has been identified as inefficient mainly due to its poor information flow and manual undertaking of multidisciplinary knowledge. To overcome this limitation, Building Information Modelling (BIM) could be used for risk identification and management of RL. Nevertheless, a BIM-enabled risk management for RL is yet to be introduced to the construction industry. To fill this gap, the aim of this research is to identify and evaluate the information requirement for a BIM-enabled risk management framework for RL. Using a mixed-method approach a data-rich risk management framework will be created to enhance the entire RL process in the construction industry. It will be verified using real-life case studies.

SARA THOMAS

Degree: Doctor of Philosophy - Environmental Science and Engineering

Supervisors: Prof Emily Hilder & Dr Dario Arrua

Thesis title: Novel mesoporous material for sample preparation

Presentation title: Novel Mesoporous Phases for Sample Preparation

Abstract:

Porous polymer monolith are a class of adsorption material having particular utility in sample preparation techniques. The principle application of these materials involves the separation of large biomolecules such as proteins, double stranded DNA, and storage of biological fluid, such as whole blood or blood plasma. Herein we report a well-defined micro-mesoporous polymer monolith as a new stationary phase for the solid phase extraction (SPE) of small molecules, typically of a molecular weight below 500 Da (MW < 500 Da). The materials were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The SEM images display the clustered globule morphology typical of organic polymer monolith and the nitrogen- adsorption-desorption isotherm indicates the presence of mesopores with a narrow neck and wider bodies of pores and a high surface area of 606 m2/g. The optimum binding capacity of the monolithic material has been determined by a small scale quantitative analysis of different molecular weight synthetic peptides by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Therefore, this new monolithic sorbent can be considered as an advanced material for SPE with improved of isolation of the target analytes, higher sorptive capacity and mechanical stability.

ABID HASAN

Degree: Doctor of Philosophy – Construction Management

Supervisors: Dr Sam Baroudi, Prof Abbas Elmaualim, & Dr Rameez Rameezdeen

Thesis title: The implications of the use of mobile information and communication technologies for construction productivity

Presentation title: The Implications of the Use of Mobile Information and Communication Technologies for Construction Productivity

Abstract:

The construction industry has suffered from relatively low productivity as compared to other industries for many decades. Many researchers and practitioners have provided insights into identification of factors affecting productivity, modelling techniques and methods to improve construction productivity. However, despite extensive research over the last few decades, factors such as poor communication and inefficient information management have continued to impede productivity in construction projects all over the world. Presence of various barriers in successful adoption of information and communication technologies (ICT) has prevented the construction industry from managing and leveraging technology to its fullest extent as compared to other industries. Nevertheless, the use of ICT has made a positive impact on construction productivity, as evident from the past studies. While the potential of various mobile technologies as an effective ICT tool has been extensively explored in other industries, its usage pattern and application within the context of the construction industry largely remains unknown. In addition, the impact of these technologies on construction productivity has not been adequately addressed. In order to fill this gap in the current knowledge, this research aims to investigate the use of mobile ICT among construction management professionals and its implications for construction productivity. A mixed methods research approach would be adopted to collect data in the form of focus groups, questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and case studies. It is expected that the outcomes of this research will benefit the construction industry in terms of a better understanding of mobile ICT and its implications for construction productivity.

Thesis title: Modelling the liquefaction behaviour of sand with fines and the effect of bio-cementation

Presentation title: DEM study of the effect of bio-cementation on static liquefaction behaviour of sand

Abstract:

In recent years, researchers are trying to better understand the correlation between the fabric tensor and anisotropic behaviour of granular soils. To understand fabric, one should first realize the internal structure of granular matters which needs a full comprehension of microscopic interaction and geometry of microcells. Discrete Element Method (DEM) is a useful approach to understand the rheological behaviour of granular flows, and to develop constitutive models in different regimes. Commercial package of DEM, particle flow code in three dimensions (PFC3D) is used to study the micro-macro behaviours of bio-cemented sand. From the micromechanical point of view, it would also be possible to make comparison between the behaviour of untreated and treated granular soils. So, the purpose of this work is to provide an insight into the effect of bio-cementation as a new soil improvement technique and to further the understanding of the role of fabric. Thus, different untreated and treated samples are generated using the particle growth technique. The samples are represented in a cubic space confined with three pairs of stress or strain controlled friction-less walls. The soil particles are modelled in spherical form with an appropriate contact law defined based on bonding condition. These samples are then sheared under drained triaxial compression to very large strain to determine peak shear strength, critical state void ratio, and ultimate shear strength which are essential parameters to study the static liquefaction behaviour of sand and to evaluate the fabric evolution.

development indicators. Very little research has been undertaken to investigate the relationship between culture and

development in PNG’s Oil & Gas industry. Further studies are needed to investigate the approaches the social purpose of the

business reflect on the country’s values and national cultures. This study proposes that an effective CSR concept is the catalyst

for social change and economic development to narrow the cultural gap between the internal (business) and external

stakeholders (social) objectives and align culture and development for the benefit of all stakeholders. The existing strategic

‘business model’ of CSR puts greater emphasis on meeting global ‘performance standards’ and achieving foreign developers core

business objectives than on the specificities of the social contexts in which strategies are implemented. Findings from this study

will support the development of a framework that improves the balance between business and ethical practice and enhance

stakeholder satisfaction by narrowing the existing cultural gap.

Thesis title: An investigation of the theory of optimism bias and its impact on realistic Information Technology project scheduling

Presentation title: What do project managers think of optimism bias?

Abstract: In order to understand what tools and techniques have been developed by the project management community to mitigate the impacts of optimism bias eleven highly experienced project managers were interviewed to understand real world approaches to scheduling, whether the group was aware of the impacts of optimism bias and what if any tools/techniques had been developed to mitigate its impacts. The respondents were also asked, based upon their experience, whether the media reports on the numerous problems with the scheduling of IT projects were reflective of their experience. The answers were relatively evenly divided with six of the twelve agreed that there was a problem with scheduling, four not agreeing and one answer unambiguous. Similar issues were raised by all respondents as to the problems with the initial schedule, these included Understated requirements (five); Misreporting (four); Project Change Management (three) and Politics (One). When asked what were the main barriers to preparing a realistic schedule, two categories emerged, these were these were Technical; mentioned by six respondents, and Political mentioned by five. From the respondents interviewed none mentioned any impact to preparing a realistic schedule from Psychological factors, such as optimism bias. The majority (nine from eleven) were aware of the term optimism bias and all agreed that it had impacted their respective projects, but yet none had mentioned it as barrier to prepare a schedule, which was an interesting observation. Most respondents were not aware of methods to mitigate the impacts of optimism bias.

Thesis title: Influence of people, organistion and environment on mulit-stakeholder engagment in globally distributed ICT projects: a vendor's perspective

Presentation title: Themes of Interplay amidst Multi-Stakeholder Engagement Adversities in Globally Distributed ICT Projects

Abstract: The onset of 21st Century and the advent of Globalisation has seen Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) Projects distributed globally to garner resource competencies, technology know-how, cost leadership and time to market. Globally distributed ICT projects, typically engage multistakeholders coming from diverse multicultural backgrounds, with varied interests and collaborating across remote geographical locations using different technologies. This is viewed as a significant challenge and of strategic importance in the face of stakeholder adversities from an ICT vendor perspective. However, it is evident from existing literature that, despite research, innovations and best practices to address these salient challenges, there is continuum of adversities and failures in large global projects and stakeholder engagement plays an essential role. This paper builds on scientific findings in an integrated approach to analyse the stakeholder engagement adversities in globally distributed ICT projects in line with underlying aspects of people, organisation and business environment. The interplays, adversities and strategies in engaging multistakeholders are explored to conceptualise a research model. From the basket of select 130 literature articles pertaining to various clusters of Stakeholder Engagement, a total of 45 relevant articles were critically reviewed to convey 6 ‘Themes of interplays’ between various stakeholder engagement factors that can affect several stakeholder adversities. An agenda for research is further proposed to empirically explore, describe and explain the relevant phenomena. The research outcomes are expected to contribute as an explanatory model and a comprehensive guide to the ICT Vendor community and in general to the Portfolio, Program and Project Management community.

Thesis title: The role of native pollinators and vegetation as drivers of agricultural productivity in the context of resource scarcity

Presentation title: Yorke Peninsula farmers’ perceptions and management of native remnant and roadside vegetation

Abstract: On the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia, private farm holders manage 87 % of the land in an area where only 13 % of the original native vegetation cover remains. The protection and maintenance of remnant vegetation on private properties are essential to preserve biodiversity. However, conservation practices are not readily adopted by many farmers. The aim of this study was to identify the barriers that prevent farmers from carrying out conservation-related work and, therefore, help to guide conservation practices on private properties. Thirty-five farmers who manage 11 % of the farming land on the peninsula were interviewed face-to-face. Questions focused on their perceptions and management of native remnant and roadside vegetation. Results showed that most farmers value the aesthetic benefits of native vegetation, but were unaware of the many ecosystem services provided by it. Weeds, pest animals, and vehicle access were the main problems associated with remnant and roadside vegetation. Concern was rarely translated into actual behaviour by the few farmers who supported the conservation of native vegetation. Decision making was informed mostly by personal observation and trial and error. Farmers were discouraged by the failures of past vegetation projects and lacked confidence in the ability of conservation groups and local government. Improving native wildlife and finding out that the benefits outweigh the costs were the factors likely to motivate farmers the most to plant native plants on their property. It is essential to demonstrate locally the long- and short-term benefits of native vegetation, and to communicate the results to farmers.

Thesis title: Further investigation and improvement on qualitative performance of permeable pavement and associated technologies in relation to stormwater runoff and associated pollution reduction

Presentation title: Optimising energy use performance in wastewater treatment for low carbon precincts

Abstract: Wastewater treatment processes are energy intense and play a significant role in safeguarding public and environmental health. The high energy demand makes current wastewater management practices unsustainable and the optimisation of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) represents a challenge for water utilities when considering energy costs, and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) contributions. The increased public awareness and concern for the environment has lead to development of new technologies enabling production of a higher water quality able to be discharged/reused.A significant challenge is facing water utilities in their attempt to minimise costs and optimise the wastewater treatment processes. The delivery of high water quality, especially for reuse schemes, often leads water utilities to over-treat the water due to public health and environmental concerns, in turn negating related energy costs. Despite the high energy demand of most energy-intensive stages of treatment, significant savings can still be achieved by using more efficient mechanical components and undertaking targeted optimisation of energy-intensive wastewater treatment processes. Optimising the energy efficiency of wastewater treatment processes is a difficult task when considering to successfully achieve cost and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions savings. This research aim to develop a new approach to optimisation of wastewater treatment processes in Australia, ensuring wastewater discharged/reused complies with discharge/reuse requirement, as set by Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), and can be provided at a lesser cost, and with lower carbon emissions intensity. New methods will be developed that satisfy a suite of energy performance benchmarks for key wastewater treatment processes, taking into account WWTP performance based on; statistical survey, procedural engineering calculations of a model WWTP, and industry best practices.

Thesis title: Development of microbial induced calcite precipitation, MICP technique to bio-cement of sandy soil for sustainable geotechnical practice

Presentation title: Literature review on Unconfined Compressive strength of MICP treated sandy soils

Abstract:

Microbial induced calcite precipitation (MICP) techniques exploit exogenous or indigenous microbial energy to precipitate calcite

within soil particles. This then forms cohesive bonds between the particles, which positively affects the engineering properties of

the soil. Recent developments in MICP show potential advantages over conventional soil stabilization practices. Progressive

research on MICP treated soils commenced in 2005 and since then 70 journal articles have been published in areas of civil

engineering and engineering geology. Review of these article discloses that only limited articles aim to study the engineering

properties of soil such as unconfined compressive strength (UCS) with total amount of calcium carbonate precipitated. The study

found a wide range of results for UCS data in relation to calcium carbonate precipitation. Theory speculates that the space

between the soil particle influences the amount of calcite precipitated in MICP treated sandy soils. Therefore, soil grading

properties such as Cu, D10 and Cc were considered to correlate UCS with calcium carbonate precipitation. The study examined the

extracted data with the use of Inverse Distance of Power (IDP) gridding method to establish a potential correlation between UCS,

soil grading parameters and average amount of calcium carbonate. A general trend for UCS of MICP treated soils was observed in

the space of average calcium carbonate precipitation and grading properties especially D10 and Cc.

Thesis title: Characterisation of nanoparticle interactions by capillary electrophoresis

Presentation title: Understanding Nanoparticle Interactions by Capillary Electrophoresis

Abstract: Nanoparticles are being used in many applications from disinfectants to food, where they meet their eventual fate in the environment. In the environment nanoparticles are exposed to a number of different molecules which can interact with them potentially changing their properties and toxicity. Current methods for studying molecular interactions with nanoparticles are fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and size exclusion chromatography which have only been applied to biological systems as well as being very tedious. Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) provides an alternative means to study the strength of the interactions between molecules in the environment and nanoparticles, with limited sample preparation and high throughput. Humic acids are representative environmental molecules as they make up a major component of dissolved organic matter. Thus CE was used to study the strength of the interactions between inorganic nanoparticles and humic acids to improve the understanding of what happens to nanoparticles when they are left in environmental systems.

Abstract: A key objective of this PhD project is to develop an in-field Pilot Distribution System (PDS) that simulates a full scale drinking water distribution system in terms of hydraulic retention time (HRT) and water quality conditions. This was done with the aim to simulate conditions that lead to chemical and/or biological decay of the disinfectant chloramine, in order to understand the processes involved in its decay and for potential control. There are no known studies reported with a primary focus on studying chloramine decay through the construction, commissioning and operation of an in-field PDS (that is directly fed by chloraminated water from a major drinking water treatment plant in Australia) which would simulate a drinking water distribution system. The proposed presentation will explain the design, commissioning, operation and performance of the PDS located at Tailem Bend, South Australia. Performance of the PDS will be described based on its simulation of a full-scale drinking water distribution system.

Presentation title: The Edible Gardens Project: A Progress Report

Abstract: This September the Edible Gardens project was launched. This project is investigating the productive capabilities and the social value of urban agriculture in South Australia. At present, the capacity of urban food gardens to contribute to urban food security remains unclear. There is limited empirical data available on how much food urban gardens can produce, and the quantity of inputs required to grow that food. Water in particular has been consistently overlooked as an input. Urban agriculture may have the potential to contribute to future proofing, create job and business opportunities, reduce people’s cost of living and improve people’s urban food security. But without large scale data collection and analysis we cannot know for sure. In the first two weeks since the project was launched there has been 101 survey responses. Of those respondents, 69% of them have volunteered to collect data on their own gardens and 53% have volunteered to attend a focus group discussion. This presentation will provide preliminary results of the online survey and an update on the progress of the garden data collection.

Presentation title: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step: Which online tools work for different learning purposes

Abstract: This presentation presents an analysis of the application of diverse online resources intended to enhance student engagement in post graduate courses in Project Management, delivered online and in class. This student group is unique in that their online program needs to provide for asynchronistic learning and an adult learning pedagogy. The participants come from a wide range of professional backgrounds, with some having no Project Management experience, whilst others have 20 years or more of managing complex projects. Students need to achieve the academic requirements of this Master’s Degree, plus they have to gain an understanding of an advanced body of knowledge. To achieve this, the course educational designers had to identify what made learning interesting for this cohort and identify different resources that could be used to stimulate their learning. What evolved were a number of different online learning resources each designed to apply a different type of learning.

Presentation title: Horses for courses: Can trendy educational approaches work everywhere?

Abstract: Modern educational tools have well been incorporated in state of the art tertiary education institutions. In the old days, knowledge mainly existed in the lecture theatre, where the tutor would pass it to the students in a traditional way. Nowadays, information flows easily and there are different mediums for the students to access it. Thus, the tutors need to find ways in order to tempt students come to the lecture theatre, as the co-presence of students and tutors still provides important added value. In order to achieve that, tutors need to keep the students engaged and even play the role of an actor or a moderator as needed. Apart from the typical e-learning forums, tools such as Wordle, Prezi, PollEverywhere, Triventy and many others are used for online quizzes that engage the whole classroom. On the other hand, in an effort to simulate real practice and increase the engagement, group assignments are used and specialized software is used for the evaluation of individuals’ contribution. The emerging research questions are whether these tools can be used regardless of available infrastructure, whether culture plays a role in adaptation and whether they are indeed efficient in the learning process. Initial findings mainly based on self-reflection suggest that:

- no matter how simplistic the new tools are infrastructure plays a significant role in adaptation, - culture is an important factor that can affect students’ response, especially when it comes to peer-evaluation, - the new tools increase engagement but not sure that they do increase learning.

Presentation title: That’s NBElievable! New technologies and new approaches to field-based teaching in NBE

Abstract: Recent Digital Learning Strategy grants (Project LIVE and Project STADIA) have enabled NBE staff to enrich their course material with digital imagery of natural and constructed systems in their local environment. From aerial imagery of rock formations at Sellicks Beach and Hallett Cove to infra-red aerial surveys of vegetation health along the Mt Lofty Ranges and Coorong, and from traffic surveys at the Old Belair Rd Roundabout to 3D building information modelling of the Mawson Lakes Campus, this imagery has enabled the design and implementation of skill-based exercises that actively involve students in the discovery and use of new information about the world they live in. The aim of such exercises is to develop modern professional skills by allowing students to interact with a wide variety of digital data, from videos and 3D models to GIS datasets and virtual reality environments, and engage them in an evaluation of the data to critically assess its meaning. This presentation will showcase some examples of digital resources developed using the new NBE facilities and discuss their application in the Environmental/Geospatial Science and Civil Engineering Programs. We will focus on the use of digital technology to support and supplement field teaching, in particular the use of 3D photogrammetry, UAV footage, location-based mobile learning games and virtual reality environments to allow both reconnaissance and reflective exercises related to field sites. This approach can add significant value to critical learning experiences attained in the field, by both supporting and encouraging knowledge retention and providing more flexible learning arrangements for students.

Thesis title: The psychological benefits associated with modifiable attributes of natural environments

Presentation title: Balancing psychology and ecology in urban environments: a virtual reality experiment

Abstract: The psychological benefits of green space are widely acknowledged and have been a prominent feature of nature-health research for decades. However, researchers in this field typically adopt a dichotomous approach, whereby they explore differences in the psychological benefits derived from broadly defined ‘natural’ and ‘built’ environments. As a result, we have little knowledge of the ways we can design green spaces to maximize mental health outcomes, which is particularly relevant in urban areas, where people face a much higher risk of developing chronic stress, anxiety and mood disorders than in rural areas. Preliminary research from the UK suggests people may derive greater psychological benefits from green spaces with higher biodiversity, however, scholars have questioned whether lay people can accurately perceive changes in species richness, as public perceptions of biodiversity are found to differ markedly and are often poorly correlated with actual biodiversity. Given this potentially mutually beneficial link between psychological health and ecological health, we sought to test the effect of biodiversity on human stress recovery, as well as the importance of individual perceptions and environmental knowledge. By using Immersive Virtual Environments, or ‘virtual reality,’ we were able to control for a range of factors that were unexplored in previous correlational research on this topic, without sacrificing the immersive nature of outdoor green space experiences. This presentation will report on the findings of this experiment.

Presentation title: Role of Microorganisms in the Passivation Mechanisms for Pyrite Oxidation Control in Acid Mine Drainage

Abstract: The control and treatment of toxic acid and metalliferous drainage (AMD) from sulfide-containing mining wastes is of fundamental importance for the long-term sustainability and environmental management of current, exhausted and abandoned mine sites.This project is focused on identifying and manipulating microbial populations, and understanding microbial reactions contributing to pyrite (FeS2) oxidation passivation. To do this, the conditions required for establishing heterotrophic bacterial populations through energy (carbon) source amendment is being investigated with a view to reducing pyrite oxygen availability, formation of surface biofilms and reduction in antagonistic bacterial populations. Our research will contribute to the development of a multi-barrier combination of geochemical and microbiological actions, to reduce mineral sulfide oxidation rates and AMD generation at-source, rather than relying on expensive treatment of toxic leachates. Ideally, this will be implemented using on-site waste materials and will result in improved and sustainable AMD control.

Presentation title: Impact of soil and dust physico-chemical properties on predicting childhood lead exposure

Abstract: Inadvertently, people are exposed to environmental contaminants (non-essential elements and persistent organic pollutants) resulting from everyday activities. Exposure may occur from the ingestion of contaminated food and water and via inhalation and dermal pathways, however, a major route of exposure is via the incidental ingestion of soil and house dust. Predicting exposure to environmental contaminants and understanding factors influencing exposure is complex. Complexity arises from behavioural, physiological / nutritional and physicochemical parameters that influence contact with contaminants, solubilisation of contaminants following ingestion (i.e. bioaccessibility) and absorption of contaminants into the systemic circulation (i.e. bioavailability). Contaminant bioavailability may be influenced by a number of physiological parameters in addition to physico-chemical properties of the contaminant and its matrix. In the absence of site-specific data, the default bioavailability value for a number of contaminants of concern is 100%. It is assumed that contaminant bioavailability is equivalent to that in the exposure medium used to derive the toxicity value. Acknowledging that default values may not reflect all variables that influence contaminant bioavailability, site-specific assessment may be performed where such assessments are deemed feasible and valuable for improving the characterisation of risk at a given site. This presentation provides an overview of bioavailability and bioaccessibility concepts related to lead contaminated soil and dust in the context of Port Pirie. It details physico-chemical factors influencing bioavailability-bioaccessibility outcomes and how site-specific assessment may be utilised for the refinement of human health risk assessment.

Presentation title: Join the dark side: the positive role of shadow in satellite image interpretation

Abstract:

Shadows play a significant role in human interpretation of images received by the eyes and processed in the brain. They assist our understanding of the third dimension and the topology of objects in the brain’s model of the scene being imaged. For humans observing close objects with two eyes the third dimension is able to be constructed from the parallax between the two images and shadow adds evidence to the interpretation of 3D shape. However, at longer distances human visual parallax plays little or no part in depth assessment. When computers are tasked with analyzing a single 2D image shadow is simply treated as a patch with low or no image intensity and there is no automatic association with the third dimension. This is particularly the case when images are acquired from satellites orbiting Earth. This presentation provides a brief background to computer interpretation of shadow and presents two case studies where shadow is used to assist computer analysis of satellite images. In the first of these, high spatial resolution multi-spectral and panchromatic images over a sub-Saharan environment in Morocco are used to map individual perennial desert shrubs and trees at high accuracy levels and information from shadow objects is used to infer shrub and tree size. This work was completed by PhD student Alsharrah, supervised by Bruce, Somenahalli and Corcoran. In the second example shadow from satellite L band synthetic aperture radar images is combined with shadow from multi-spectral images over Mount Fuji in Japan to derive topographic information.

Presentation title: Canopy cover is an important determinant of heat buffering

Abstract:

Vegetation can play an important role in buffering extreme temperature events. We investigated the buffering (with respect to temperature and humidity) provided by different habitats (understorey, under grass trees and in the leaf litter) during the 2015/16 summer at 14 locations in 7 reserves of the Fleurieu Peninsula. Leaf litter and grass trees provided significantly cooler temperatures during the day, warmer temperatures at night, and higher humidity, while the understorey provided little buffering. Buffering in all habitats depended strongly on canopy cover, declining steeply when canopy cover decreased below about 25%. Our study highlights the importance of retaining healthy, native vegetation with high canopy cover. It also suggests that parklands could provide important refuges from heat waves, if they have sufficient canopy cover.

Abstarct: The Stormwater Management Plan by the City of Unley, Adelaide indicates that the capacity of Lower Brown Hill Creek, located from Anzac Highway to the confluence with Keswick Creek, should be upgraded from 25 m3/s to 60 m3/s to cope with 100 years average recurrence interval rainfall events. Four feasible alternatives including i) fully constructed natural waterway (earth), ii) fully lined rectangular concrete channel, iii) existing channel with box culvert and iv) option three with wetlands were identified and designed to upgrade the capacity of the creek. For selecting the most appropriate alternative, we applied multi-criteria decision analysis approach and chose the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model. Eight criteria under three categories (technical, environmental and socio-economic) were considered to quantify to relative priorities of alternatives. Pair-wise comparisons of alternatives against each criterion were performed and ranked using a scale from 1 to 9. During the process of applying AHP model, consistency of ranking was thoroughly checked and a level of inconsistency was accepted due to the nature of human judgement. After the analysis, it was found that fully constructed natural waterway (percentage priority 29.2%) followed by existing channel with box culvert and wetland (26%) is the most appropriate alternative. The proposed model can also be used in feasibility assessment of other similar projects where multi-criteria decisions are required.

With Eyes Wide Shut: The impact of urbanisation on biodiversity

Abstract: Currently, just over half of the world’s population lives in urban places, but this is expected to increase to two thirds by the year 2050. One outcome of rapid urbanisation is a decline in biodiversity as urban landscapes are altered and become less natural. A case study of the Greater Adelaide Region of South Australia seems typical of many rapidly urbanising cities with official predictions that over the next 30 years an extra 560 000 people will need to be accommodated in 258 000 new dwellings, which will require an additional 14 000 Ha of new land. This project is examining the relationship between urban development and biodiversity, and asks: what is the actual impact of urbanisation on biodiversity? And, can they both thrive together? A complex geospatial model is currently being developed that will explain the relationship between the various forms of urban development in the Greater Adelaide Region and the distribution of birds, which are a good indicator for biodiversity. The model will predict the impacts of future urban development scenarios on biodiversity (e.g. ranging from low to high densities of housing) up to 30 years ahead, but also the potential impact of changing environmental variables (e.g. temperature, rainfall and vegetation variations), based on various climate change scenarios. Using the model, a set of tools are being developed that will be useful for planners, developers and governments. This approach has potential, wide to a range of urbanising landscapes across Australia and internationally. Preliminary results show that as areas become more urbanised, the overall number of birds can be reduced by 40%, the number of bird species drops by up to 30%, the number of invasive (pest) bird species increases by up to 30%, and that the many smaller birds all but disappear. This initial analysis reveals that as areas across Adelaide become more urbanised biodiversity can reduce significantly. Further analysis is focusing on the factors that influence these changes in biodiversity, such as the importance of the quantity and quality of urban vegetation.

Presentation title: BIM-based Life Cycle Costing and Life Cycle Assessment: Implication of BIM Tool Adoption for Housing Refurbishment

Abstract: Life Cycle Cost (LCC) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies are recommended to determine the most financially and environmentally affordable housing refurbishment solution among various alternatives. However, the methodologies are limited in its use due to a lack of proper LCC and LCA datasets and lack of effective collaboration and integration among project stakeholders. In response to the issue, Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been introduced to the construction industry and researchers have studied a way to adopt BIM for the housing sector. This research investigates the capabilities and limitations of BIM as a decision making support tool to integrate LCC with LCA for housing refurbishment through a case study. This research reveals that BIM can enable construction professionals to consider LCC and LCA simultaneously and make a proper decision by considering the trade-offs relationship between LCC and LCA. Yet, the data exchange among different BIM tools and unstandardized BIM object libraries are recognized as the major shortcomings. Finally, this research identifies the essential remedy actions to overcome the major issues, and based on the findings, this research will contribute to developing proper BIM object libraries with proper LCC and LCA information. Furthermore, this research will provide an opportunity expand the understanding regarding BIM-enabled housing refurbishment.

Presentation title: Development of a conservative method for inhalation metal(loid) bioaccessibility from dust

Abstract: Inhalation of metal(loid) from dust is increasingly becoming recognized as a significant exposure pathway to humans. Although total metal(loid) content is traditionally used for exposure assessment, inhalation bioaccessibility of metal(loid)s using simulated lung fluids may be a more accurate technique if validated via in-vivo correlation. However, currently there is no consensus among the different methodological aspects of inhalation bioaccessibility assays. Furthermore, the compositions of simulated lung fluids also vary widely and no information is available regarding their extraction efficiencies, making the data difficult to interpret. The aim of this study is to develop a method that gives the maximum metal(loid) dissolution in-vitro simulating a human inhalation scenario. To achieve this aim, the effects of solid to solution ratio, maximum extraction time and agitation on metal(loid) dissolution from three environmental dust samples were investigated. Additionally, the extraction efficiencies of the different simulated lung fluids that are currently in use were also investigated. The results of this study identified for the first time that a solid to solution ratio of 1:5000 and a maximum extraction time of 120 hours gives the highest metal(loid) bioaccessibility from dust. The effect of agitation and establishing an in-vivo correlation to animal models are currently being investigated. The conservative bioaccessibility protocol that will be developed using the results of this study may be used as a rapid and reliable method for metal(loid) exposure assessment via the inhalation pathway, enabling effective risk assessment and remediation of abandoned mining and smelting sites.

Presentation title: Towards age-friendly housing and built environemnts

Abstract: The population of aged people is increasing dramatically worldwide and this demographic change is challenge to society in many ways. One of the challenges is the existing built environment being not suitable to the requirements of ageing population. To improve the overall wellbeing of elderly, they should remain healthy and active which can be achieved not only by improving the health care facilities but also by designing their housing and immediate outdoor environment. Planning and design of such an environment will help them to continue to live in same place as they age where they have been living fulfilling their emotional requirements as well. Therefore, the aim of the proposed research is to design a prototype for such a built environment which fulfils the requirements of the ageing population. Such built environment is also required in South Australia as it has the relatively higher proportion of older people compared to other states which is expected to increase over the coming decades. The requirements for such age friendly built environments can be inferred from the development of indicators with the help of experiences of older people and caregivers and the expert opinions. Before designing such environments, assessment of the level of the age-friendliness of a particular environment will guide the approach for planning such environments. This assessment will determine existing barriers and opportunities assisting in design of age-friendly prototype built environment. Thus, the proposed research will develop a framework for planning age-friendly housing and built environment.

Abstract: Indonesia is a country with more 2000 islands. Transport between the islands is mainly relying on boats. From the city of Jayapura to Skow, in Muara Tami District, an area connecting the border with Papua New Guinea, for a distance of 50 kilometers, will take up to approximately 2.5 hours to reach. However, with the Bridge, Hamadi- Holtekamp, the travel time is expected to be reduced significantly. The current situation impact people’s transport mode and route choice behavior. This study will look at the impact of a bridge on travel behavior changes. The task is to develop a travel demand model for route choices (trip assignment). There are several objectives include in this research, namely reviewing the travel demand modeling and Logit theories, then structuring modal choice models based on Logit approach, then finding the correlations between each utility and variable. Next step, model evaluation, calibration and validation procedures will be conducted, based on an integrated transport system concept, such as road and boat, for the case in Jayapura Indonesia. For model development purpose, a prefered statement survey will be conducted before the completion of the bridge, and a stated preference survey will be followed after the Hamadi –Haltekam bridge.

Presentation title: A Catchment Management Decision Support Model (CMDSM): land-use and expected water quality of water resources for drinking water supply

Abstract: Catchment properties influence concentration and character of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and consequently influence coagulant demand. The character of DOM further influences the formation of disinfection by products, such as trihalomethanes (THM) when precursor DOM present in drinking water reacts with chlorine during disinfection. Here we report a catchment management decision support model (CMDSM) designed to enable determination of the impacts of land-use on water resources within catchments and links water quality to treatability at treatment plants. This was done by generation of multidisciplinary data of representative, and contrasting zero order catchments (ZOCs) to elucidate relationships between key catchment features such as topography, soils and land-use with water quality and treatability. ZOCs were selected based on the presence of distinct vegetative cover (grass, Australian native vegetation or pine) and contrasting textures of surface soil horizons (sand or clay loam/clay). Water samples were collected since 2012 from three slope positions (upper, middle, and lower) at soil depths of ~30 cm and ~60 cm in addition to overland flows. Models were developed of DOM character and concentration (measured as dissolved organic carbon, DOC), treatability of DOM and Specific THMFP (µg THMFP/mg DOC) based on the catchment features. CMDSM has been developed for application by catchment managers in decision-making related to land-use and expected water quality of water resources for drinking water supply. This tool allows for prediction of treatment requirements of catchment waters for optimum drinking water quality and supply.

Presentation title: Development of a Microfluidic Ammonia Analyser

Abstract: On-line water quality sensors have been used in water utilities for a number of purposes including feedback control of the disinfection processes. The interest in using ammonia measurements in chloraminated systems is to minimise the risk of over- or under-dosing of ammonia, which adversely affects residual decay and the nitrification potential (rapid decay) in the distribution system. Ammonia levels are critical to the operation and maintenance of chloraminated drinking water distribution systems. From an earlier project, a low cost and highly sensitive on-line ammonia analyser prototype was successfully tested in several Australian water treatment plants. The technology is based on microdistillation to concentrate and provide clean sample to the detector, followed by conductivity measurements which offers universal and stable detection. This design provides the benefits of low maintenance and high sensitivity. The aim of the present work is to explore the feasibility to incorporate a microfluidics module to improve the reliability of the prototype.Microfluidic phenomena can be used to miniaturise the chemistry laboratory on a microchip platform, i.e. a so-called “lab-on-a-chip”. In this paper, the design, fabrication, and testing of a microfluidic channel geometry for liquid-vapour contact to extract ammonia from an aqueous sample will be presented. The extraction of ammonia is currently detected using the Berthelot method and, ultimately, will be carried out via conductivity measurement of an ammonium borate solution formed on the chip.

Presentation title: CRC-LCL RP2008: Wastewater Biosolids

Abstract: The Cooperative Research Centre for Low Carbon Living (CRC-LCL) is a national research and innovation hub with the overarching goal of helping reduce Australia’s residential and commercial carbon emissions via industry focused research and evidence based advice for shaping government policy. The University of South Australia is strongly affiliated with the CRC-LCL, being a key research partner and also being host to the South Australian research node. My presentation will outline the specific area of research that I have developed for industry partners and been contracted to undertake by the CRC-LCL. More importantly, it will exemplify the kind of industry-focused work that the School of NBE is involved with and the deliverables that will result from this key body of work.

Thesis title: Development of a low-tech, low-cost alternative to aquaponics, integrating agriculture and aquaculture

Presentation title: Basil Production Reusing Aquaculture Waste Water: Comparing Hydroponic and Soil Systems

Abstract: Intensive freshwater fish farming using a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) produces a concentrated waste stream of water and nutrients. The biological composition of fish excrement makes this RAS waste safe for use in edible plant production. There are economic and environmental benefits for farmers when reusing this waste for food production as an alternative to sewer disposal. These benefits could be increased if nutrient deficiencies in the fish waste, particularly phosphorus and potassium, were addressed. Two experiments were conducted in sequence between December 2015 and March 2016 inside a greenhouse adjacent to a pilot scale recirculating aquaculture system (RAS). The aim of these experiments was to determine the most effective method of horticultural reuse. Both experiments grew the relatively high-value, leafy green plant, basil, in the same soil (drip-irrigation) and hydroponic (suspended raft) culture systems over a three week period. The first experiment compared the use of untreated effluent (UE) and mineralised effluent and solids (ME) from the RAS to a standard commercial nutrient solution (Control), while the second experiment compared improved effluent (ECA) and mineralised effluent and solids (ME) to standard commercial nutrient solution (Control). Results showed that the ECA treatment in the hydroponic system performed the best in terms of plant production, while a soil system in a protected cropping scenario may provide the best waste disposal function. Further research could focus on the challenges relating to plant water use during the cooler, wetter months and the role of protected cropping in waste water consumption.

Thesis title: Differential effect of biochar on ammonia volatilisation between inorganic and organic nitrogen sources

Presentation title: Impact of manure-based biochars on ammonia volatilization from soil

Abstract: Ammonia (NH3) volatilization is one of the most important sources of nitrogen (N) loss in soil-plant systems worldwide. It is estimated that between 10 and 30% of N fertilizers may be lost through NH3 volatilization after application. In recent years, carbon-based materials such as biochar have created research interest because of its ability to increase soil fertility and reduce pollutants. Studies have also identified that the addition of biochar can reduce NH3 volatilization in soil. Laboratory-based incubation experiments were carried out using urea as an N source (at a rate of 300 kg ha-1) to investigate the influence of feedstock’s (poultry manure, green waste compost and wheat straw), pyrolysis temperature (250, 350, 450, 500 and 700 ˚C), and application rates (1 and 2%) on NH3 volatilization in different soils with pH ranging from 6.0 to 8.5. An acid trap (sulphuric acid, 0.5 M H2SO4) was used to capture NH3 gas. The captured NH3 was determined by back titrating the unconsumed H2SO4 with 0.1 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The experiments were carried out for 30 days in a temperature controlled room at 24 ˚C. The study identified that biochar properties, pyrolysis temperature and application rates played an important role in reducing NH3 volatilization. For instance, the addition of PM-BC 350 (2%, pH 7.39), GW-BC 450 (2%, pH 8.03) and WS-BC 450 (2%, pH 8.01) to soils reduced NH3 volatilization by 53.03%, 37.89% and 34.93%, respectively. In contrast, the addition of PM-BC 350 (1%, pH 7.90), GW-BC 450 (1%, pH 8.03) and WS-BC 450 (1%, pH 8.13) to soils reduced NH3 loss by only 37.73%, 25.66% and 7.98% respectively. Reduction of NH3 volatilization through the application of biochar is either due to changes in pH or through NH3 sorption. Soil pH is reduced after biochar addition and due to the presence of carboxylic and phenolic functional groups biochar can reduce loss by trapping NH3 on its surface. This study underpins the enormous potentiality of biochar from manures and highlights the importance of pyrolysis temperature and feedstock in terms of decreasing NH3 volatilization from soils. Keywords: Biochar, Manure, ammonia volatilization, pH, pyrolysed temperature, urea

Thesis title: Detection of emerging chemical contaminants in wastewater: assessing the effectiveness of treatment technologies and current analytical capabilities

Presentation title: Increasing concern of Illicit drugs in Adelaide

Abstract: Illicit drugs and their metabolites are the latest group of emerging pollutants. Determination of their concentration in environment (such as water bodies, soil, sediment, air) is an indirect tool to estimate the community level consumption of illicit drug and to evaluate potential ecotoxicological impacts from chronic low level exposure. They enter the wastewater network as unaltered drugs and/or their active metabolites by human excretion after illegal consumption or by accidental or deliberate disposal from clandestine drug laboratories. My work will highlight the common illicit drugs consumed by the Adelaide population based on wastewater analysis. Also, their occurrence in different environmental compartments (e.g., wastewater, surface waters, groundwater, drinking water, and ambient air) and removal efficiency of treatment technologies used in treatment plants.
