WRC has many core areas of research and applied research activities, which are supported by academics and researchers from within the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Our activities cover virtually everything to do with water and the technology we develop is also successfully applied to non-water related areas.

Risk assessment

Environmental projects need to estimate and account for risk. Such analysis considers the risks associated with activities like the storage of water in reservoirs.

Sustainability assessment program

Our ambition as a team is to employ our tools and expertise to provide insight and offer solutions to grand sustainability challenges such as climate change mitigation, urban and infrastructure sustainability and transforming systems towards absolute sustainability. 

Chemistry Labs

Trace organics

Enhanced insight into trace organics removal in sewage treatment, including advanced methods like membranes, oxidation, and biological processes, enables better chemical contaminant removal and municipal wastewater reuse.
