Once again I am thrilled to

report on a highly successful

year for the UNSW Water

Research Centre (WRC) with

consolidation and growth in

key areas of i) staff and

research students, ii) peer-

reviewed research output and

iii) external grants and

applied research with

industry.

Some of our research

highlights have been recognised by faculty media awards.

These include two Water Research Laboratory (WRL) lead

activities that reported on the “Superstorm”, which battered

the east coast of Australia in June; and how “Floodwaters

can turn cars into deathtraps” - our 2016 feature story.

Other key items from the year in review are i) Associate

Professor Tommy Wiedmann being named among the

world’s most influential researchers by Thomson Reuters

and ii) Dr Arash Zamyadi been awarded an International

Water Association (IWA) Fellow for his contribution as a

young water professional.

Our staff focus for 2016 has highlighted two staff; Dr

Conrad Wasko a WRC Postdoctoral Fellow, for his

research on understanding how rainfall is changing under

climate change, and the impact this will have on

engineering design and water supply, which was featured

in the journal “Nature”. Alice Harrison is a Project Engineer

at WRL who has been involved in a large-scale ocean

diffusion study at Manly Vale, and has been developing a

database and website to bring large beach survey datasets

to the public domain.

The centre had 14 PhD students graduate in the School of

Civil and Environmental Engineering, we welcomed two

water academic staff, Dr Kristen Splinter and Associate

Professor William Glamore of WRL, and sadly saw the

departure of Drs Hoori Ajami, Robert Parinussa and

Xinguang Wang.

Our commitment to high quality research has been again

awarded by new Australian Research Council Discovery

Linkage and Linkage, Infrastructure, Equipment and

Facilities grants by Dr Lucy Marshall, Dr Richard Collins,

Associate Professor Stuart Khan, Associate Professor

Tommy Wiedmann, Professor Ashish Sharma and

Professor David Waite.

We are looking forward to continuing this success in

2017.

Professor Richard Stuetz


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.

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 over 60

research engineers/scientists and 62 PhD research students.

The Centre’s activities are grouped around three dominant

research themes:

Water SupplyWater SupplyWater 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 The Coast The Coast

Over 86% of the Australian community live in the coastal

zone with consequent environmental impact and climate

vulnerabilities.

SustainabilitySustainabilitySustainability

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.

Research is actively undertaken using the specialist

laboratories in the School of Civil and Environmental

Engineering and at our Water Research Laboratory in Manly

Vale. During 2015, Water Research Laboratory (WRL)

celebrated its 56th year as a leading international research

laboratory in hydraulics, groundwater and coastal engineering.

WRL projects group provide specialist professional

engineering advice on specific water engineering projects

using large-scale physical facilities at the Manly Vale site.

Centre Steering Committee

Dr Conrad Wasko, Postdoctoral FellowDr Conrad Wasko, Postdoctoral FellowDr Conrad Wasko, Postdoctoral Fellow

Conrad is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Water

Research Centre specialising in hydrology. Conrad comes

from a strong engineering background having worked as a

project engineer at the Water Research Laboratory

delivering many consulting and applied research projects

during his tenure. Currently, his research is focused on

understanding how rainfall is changing under climate

change and the impacts this will have on engineering

design and water supply.

Dr Wasko completed his PhD at the University of New

South Wales in September 2016, submitting a dissertation

consisting of eight manuscripts focusing on the relationship

between precipitation and temperature and their

applications to design flood estimation. His research was

the first of its kind to show that storms intensify both in

space and time as temperatures increase. This work gained

worldwide media attention and was featured in the journal

’Nature’, due to its significant implications to increased

urban flash flooding. His research developed a novel

method of predicting future rainfall patterns using stochastic

methods and suggested that climate change may have a

much greater effect on rainfall than first thought. Conrad

has gained significant recognition for his work in

understanding his changes in temperature affect rainfall

attracting numerous research

student awards.

Prior to undertaking his PhD,

Conrad was a consulting

engineer at the Water Research

Laboratory. During this time he

worked on a range of numerical

and physical models projects

from modelling groundwater

contaminant transport to

flushing of tidal estuaries. He

delivered a project plan for

climate change adaptation of

vulnerable water infrastructure

and contributed to Project15 of

Australian Rainfall and Runoff revision on the appropriate

use of numerical models in floodplain simulation.

Conrad holds undergraduate degrees both in Civil

Engineering and Statistics as well as a Masters of

Engineering Science. His research is currently focusing on

understand the complex interaction between rainfall and

streamflow in a changing climate. Dr Wasko is currently

supervising a PhD, as well as several Masters and

Honours students investigating the impacts of changed

rainfall patterns on urban flood design.

Alice Harrison, Project Engineer Alice Harrison, Project Engineer Alice Harrison, Project Engineer

Alice studied Civil Engineering and Finance at UNSW

between 2010 - 2015, and completed her honours thesis in

costal engineering under the guidance of Association

Professor Ron Cox. Her honours work concerned 2D wave

flume modelling and economic analysis on the impact of

climate change on coastal structure along the New South

Wales coast. After completing her undergraduate degree

with first class honours, Alice joined Water Research

Laboratory in 2016, working on a wide range of applied

research projects for industry and government.

Alice’s experience at WRL has involved her in a diverse

range of projects that span many facets of water

engineering, from coastal water, to groundwater and urban

water management. Presently, she is also involved in a

large-scale ocean diffusion field study that is being

undertaken by WRL. Throughout 2016, Alice has been

developing a database and website for the NSW Office of

Environment and Heritage to bring large beach survey

datasets to the public domain. This work was recently

presented by Alice at the Australasian Coasts and Ports

Conference. At the conference, Alice also attended a

Coastal Engineering short course, run by WRL Project and

Academic staff, to further develop her technical skills.

With the support of the strong team based at the WRL

Manly Vale campus, Alice has gained significant

knowledge and skill in numerical and physical modelling,

field studies and technical communication. WRL’s position

as a leading group in the field of fundamental and applied

water engineering has given her unique opportunities to

learn from the best in the business in the early stages of

her professional career. Alice is looking forward to seeing

what the years ahead have to bring at WRL, knowing it will

be full of exciting and interesting challenges.

WRL Hosts Myanmar Government's DWIR for River Hydraulic Course

In December, the UNSW Water Research Laboratory hosted six delegates from the Myanmar government's Directorate of

Water Resources and Improvement of River systems (DWIR) on a two week intensive training course. DWIR’s primary

responsibility is maintaining the navigability of Myanmar’s river

systems, which remain the country’s most important transportation

system. The most pressing issue with navigability of the river systems

is dealing with increasing sediment loads caused by de-forestation of

the catchment and also legal and illegal mine discharges.

Over the last twenty years or so, the political situation in Myanmar has

meant that the country’s borders have been closed and the people

largely isolated from the outside world. The DWIR employees visited

WRL to improve their knowledge of the leading edge techniques for

assessing river hydraulics and sediment transport. The training was

coordinated by the UNSW Global Water Institute through the ‘Australian Water Partnership’ which is coordinating a capacity

building program in Myanmar addressing water resources planning and management on behalf of the Federal Department of

Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Regional Meeting of PIANC International in Manila, Philippines

William Glamore attended and helped coordinate the 2nd Asia-Pacific meeting of PIANC’s Young Professionals (YP)

Commission from 10-14 April, 2016. Hosted in Manila, by the Philippines Port Authority, the meeting included over 80

delegates from 12 countries and included technical presentations, site tours and networking events.

passion for research.


WRL Awarded the 2016 Dean’s Media

Award for Story of the Year: “June

Superstorm”

WRL coastal engineers documented the worst erosion at

Collaroy since 1974 and made world news headlines. June

2016 captured an amazing opportunity of documenting a

‘Superstorm’ that battered eastern Australia. WRLs team of

coastal forecasters monitored the extreme event emerging on

the horizon as early as six days prior the June 4th East Coast

Low event. This early forecast enabled the team to collaborate

with the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage and UNSW

Aviation to mobilise unprecedented coastal monitoring

capabilities and capture rare high-resolution observations of how coastlines evolve during extreme events.

WRL manages one of the world’s longest-running beach erosion research programs, at Narrabeen-Collaroy on Sydney’s

northern beaches. Such long-term measurements of coastal variability are extremely rare and provide a unique insight into

beach variability at different scales – from rapid erosion caused by extreme storms to changes over years and decades due

to more subtle shifts in the wave climate.

Awarded to WRL Manager Grantley Smith (for

spending two days standing in a wave tank with a

floating car), for the story “Floodwaters can turn cars

into deathtraps”, and the runner-up for this same

award given to Mitchell Harley (for his multi-channel

media presence during the June storm).


A team at the UNSW Water Research Laboratory has

been testing how small and large cars behave when they

encounter flash floods, replicating scenarios faced by

many stranded motorists, but doing so in an especially

configured test tank in Manly Vale, in northern Sydney.

“What was surprising was just how little water it took to

make even a large vehicle unstable,” said principal

engineer Grantley Smith, who led the research. “They

became vulnerable to moving floodwaters once the depth

reached the floor of the vehicle. Even in low water depths

and slow flow speeds, floodwaters had a powerful enough

force to make them float away.”

The tests are a world first: previous experiments to

understand the force of floodwaters have relied on using

vehicle miniatures, rather than actual cars. Even the

engineers were surprised how easily cars weighing more

than a tonne quickly became buoyant and unstable.

This project aims to assess the environmental implications

of pharmaceuticals discharged in effluents from wastewater

treatment plants. Trace levels of human pharmaceuticals

occur in sewage and urban waterways, but during sewage

treatment, some pharmaceuticals can undergo a chemical

transformation known as 'chiral inversion'. In some cases,

this may convert relatively benign environmental

contaminants to more ecologically toxic species. This

project will investigate why and how some pharmaceuticals

become susceptible to chiral inversion and assess

ecotoxicological differences. This work is expected to

determine the significance of considering chiral inversion in

environmental risk assessment, with applications to a

broader range of chemicals including pesticides and

industrial chemicals.

regarding ‘Reactive oxygen species productions regarding ‘Reactive oxygen species productions regarding ‘Reactive oxygen species productions

on oxygenation of subsurface sediments’. on oxygenation of subsurface sediments’. on oxygenation of subsurface sediments’.

This project aims to examine the nature, extent and effect of

redox processes in subsurface environments. Reactive

oxygen species, including hydrogen peroxide, superoxide

and hydroxyl radicals, transform and affect redox-active

substances in the environment such as arsenic, uranium

and natural organic matter (which may be oxidised to

carbon dioxide). Production of significant quantities of

reactive oxygen species on oxygenation of subsurface

sediments through actions such as aquifer recharge and

high flow events may alter the form and mobility of trace

elements and influence the cycling of carbon and eventual

efflux of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This project will

examine the nature, extent and effect of these redox

processes in selected subsurface environments. This

research could have implications for contaminant

transformation and fate and carbon cycling.

This project aims to develop a framework to simulate,

quantify and analyse the uncertainty in streamflow and

vegetation dynamics via approximate Bayesian

computation. Water is a fundamental resource, and a

difficulty in water resource management is to make

predictions in a changing environment. Uncertainties in

predictions of natural systems due to observational and

model error make this more difficult. It is anticipated that

the results from this project will advance uncertainty

analysis in hydrology and help understand how different

types of data and information can inform model

characterisation. This will be useful in providing vital

information on the attributes and extent of uncertainty to

inform water resources analysis, management and

decision making.

This project aims to develop innovative low carbon cement

formulations for the Australian construction industry. It will

design new binder formulations that include a high level

clinker replacement and achieve high early strength by

controlling early hydration reactions (< 24 hrs) through

combining admixtures. Using geochemistry to improve

early hydration, it will use commonly available

supplementary cementitious materials to prepare low

carbon concrete. This research is expected to transform

the Australian construction industry by developing higher

performing, more durable structures with dramatically

lower embodied carbon dioxide and improved life-cycle

costs.

This project aims to make the water industry capable of

foreseeing and managing adverse raw water organic

matter quality from the catchment to the treatment plant. It

will research the triggers for organic matter excursions that

compromise treatment plant performance and affect public

health. The project will develop and deploy innovative

sensors to detect targeted water quality changes at the

molecular level in situ and real time, and improve operating

strategies for robust and reliable performance of existing

treatment plants. This catchment to plant approach is

expected to make existing treatment assets more

productive and defer additional treatment costs.

This project aims to develop an adaptive, real-time control

system for managing disinfectant residuals in

chloraminated water supply systems. While chloramine

delivers microbiologically safe drinking water in warmer

climates and in long distribution systems, it is largely

unpredictable, costs water utilities millions of dollars

annually, and has uncertain benefits. This project’s control

system will be guided by quantitative models formulated

from multi-pronged, fundamental experiments. The project

will quantify microbial chloramine decay and determine

mechanisms to increase predictability. The project will

develop and demonstrate a real-time control technology

which delivered microbiologically safe, cost-efficient

drinking water to people in warmer climates, despite

warming climate and increasing population.
