IAHR Webinar on Integrated Catchment Models and Seawater Intake Pigging

November 14, 2024, Thursday

1am UTC | 9am Beijing | 12pm Sydney | 2pm Auckland | 8pm (Wed.) New York

The main objectives of the IAHR/IWA joint committee on outfall systems are to advance the science and technology of all aspects of wastewater discharges from outfalls and their design, to disseminate knowledge and to facilitate communication between the diverse groups of practitioners in the field. The webinar begins with a discussion on perceptions and facts with regard to outfall systems drawing from examples of outfalls currently in operation. The second presentation deals with the methodology and findings from an environmental impact assessment of an advanced water recycling center in Australia, providing details of the applied modelling tools and lessons learned from the impact predictions. A case is made for improved communication of what outfall systems are and do and their important role in support of achieving SDGs by 2030.

Introduction

This webinar series continues our focus on the topic of wastewater outfall systems including discharges of demestic, industrial or desalination waste streams to inland and coastal receiving waterways.

The planning, design and siting of outfalls is a complex task that relies on many disciplines including oceanography, civil and environmental engineering, marine biology, construction, economics, public relations and social and cultural matters.

The primary purpose of the webinar series is to bring together a broad range of these disciplines and to provide a forum for presentations and discussion relating to recent research and real-life case studies.
