  • Monitoring and Removal of Natural Organic Matter (NOM) from Toowoomba Water Sources
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Southern Queensland ePrints University of Southern Queensland Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences Monitoring and Removal of Natural Organic Matter (NOM) from Toowoomba Water Sources A dissertation submitted by Miss Jamie McIntyre 0061025576 In fulfilment of the requirements of Course ENG4111 and 4112 Research Project Towards the degree of Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Environmental) Submitted: October 2015 Abstract Natural organic matter (NOM), present in all water sources, proves problematic for the water treatment industry due to its reaction with disinfectants, particularly chlorine. This reaction forms allegedly harmful, carcinogenic disinfection by-products. There are no regulatory limits in place in Australia for the quantifiable NOM surrogate parameter of organic carbon. Few studies have been conducted in Australia with the aim of quantifying the amount of NOM in water sources, with none having been conducted to investigate Toowoomba water sources. The aim of this dissertation was to investigate the amount of organic matter in certain water sources of Toowoomba, the removal of this by enhanced coagulation, and the trihalomethane formation potential of each of the water sources before and after treatment. The methodology used to achieve this involved the collection of water samples from four water sources, three of which are drinking water sources for the Toowoomba region treated by the Mt Kynoch Water Treatment Plant. The water sources include the Japanese Gardens, Cooby Dam, Perseverance and Cressbrook Dams, and a raw water mixture of the blended raw water sources collected immediately prior to treatment from the Mt Kynoch Water Treatment Plant.

  • Kurilpa Futures' Green Bridges Submission
    Kurilpa Futures Submission to BCC on Green Bridges - Toowong to West End and St Lucia to West End [email protected] Kurilpa Futures (KF) is pleased to provide a submission on the proposed Green Bridges to West End, noting that the deadline to provide feedback on these complex proposals was sensibly extended to 31 March. KF recognises that green bridges could be a valuable part of the overdue shift towards active transport, in an area of very rapid current and continuing population growth, and accepts that West End is an integral part of an active and inter-dependent inner city and wider metropolis. However, we continue to have many concerns about the consultation process and the bridge options as outlined below. Community consultation We remain concerned that the ‘push polling’ online survey on the Brisbane City Council website constrains participants to identify and support one of three preferred bridge options in the two locations, giving no opportunity to raise concerns and seek more information, nor to register a ‘no bridge’ position. Kurilpa Futures considers that untimely, rushed community engagement and unpublished incomplete information has already served to escalate confusion and division among residents. Council has also not allowed the community to consider and provide feedback on the costs and benefits of alternatives to bridges, such as a “lateral bridge” river walk/cycle way from West End to Dutton Park and the existing Eleanor Schonell Bridge, or improvement to ferry services and bus routes. Support for active transport infrastructure on the Kurilpa peninsula We are concerned that Council has decided to proceed with significant expenditure on these bridges without demonstrating how they will deliver other more affordable and effective active transport initiatives outlined in the South Brisbane Transport and Mobility Study (DTMR: 2019).
