Due to increased urban sprawl, the development of on-site water and wastewater treatment systems is becoming more commonplace in unsewered parts of Australia. This subject introduces students to the different types of on-site systems available for water supply and wastewater management for single households or small complexes of units. The subject introduces students to the different technical aspects and allows them to develop skills in the design and operation of these systems. This subject will also look at the overall management of water from water supply to wastewater generation, treatment, and re-use on-site through irrigation. One aspect of the subject is to look at the different types of systems available in Australia and understand the technology that is applied. Current environmental legislation related to on-site wastewater treatment and disposal, its strengths and its shortcomings are also covered in this subject.
Assessment: Two assignments (30 per cent), major project including site visit (25 per cent), examination (45 per cent).
Site visits are an integral part of developing knowledge in this subject area.
