Griffith University supports the Sustainable Development Goals
This online short course engaged participants from South Asia, North Africa and the Pacific. The program explored climate change mitigation and adaptation, with a specific focus on best practices in water resources management (WRM) and water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) for achieving water security outcomes. The course included twelve modules…
Thailand faces challenges with managing water quality in many of its reservoirs due to pressure from agricultural, domestic, and industrial pollution coupled with urbanization, increasing demand and climate change. RID has requested for Australian expertise to gain knowledge and strategies to monitor, prevent and decrease water quality impacts. The technical…
The project goal is determining the role of coastal wetlands in removing dissolved inorganic nitrogen and thus, improving the water quality of the Great Barrier Reef. To test this at the landscape scale, we conducted nutrient fluxes measurements in the Moresby, a small catchment where 33% of it is cultivated…
Lao PDR is rich in water resources both in terms of quantity and quality. However, water use in the country at the river basin and national scales have increased to support rapid social-economic development, which has impacted availability, quality, and sustainability of the resource. The outdated 1996 Water and Water…
Undergraduate course on Catchment Hydrology which is core in BEng (Civil) and BEng (Environmental) Water supply and flood mitigation is taught in the form of flood frequency analysis and flood routing through reservoirs for flood mitigation and sequent peak analysis to ananalyse a water supply reservoir. These are taught and…
High-frequency water quality monitoring technology has considerably improved in the last decade. New generation optical sensors allow for reliable, in-situ monitoring, with real-time data often remotely accessible through the cloud. Since 2020, two mobile water quality stations have been built, consisting of trailers with solar panels, batteries, pumps and sensors;…
