Thursday 3 April from 7:30pm to 8:15pm

Hear University of Sydney researchers, academics and alumni share their big ideas at Raising the Bar.

In Sydney, millions of litres of water are released into the ocean every day. This “wastewater” is largely untreated, carrying a complex mixture of chemical and microbial contaminants.

Join civil engineer Professor Stuart Khan as he explains why wastewater is, in fact, a rich resource. From finding better ways to purify and retain the water, to saving the important and finite nutrients within it, this talk explores the challenges and opportunities surrounding Sydney’s water management.

About the speaker

Professor Stuart Khan is the Head of the School of Civil Engineering at the University of Sydney. His expertise lies in water engineering, including water quality and treatment, drinking water, wastewater, water recycling and recreational water quality. Stuart is a Fellow of scientific and engineering institutions, including Engineers Australia (FIEAust), The Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (FTSE), The Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) and The Royal Society of NSW (FRSN).

Supported by City of Sydney.
