Funded Activity Summary

A microbiological risk assessment model for the use of reclaimed water in irrigated horticulture. The volume of reclaimed water used in Australia is increasing. A major use of reclaimed water is irrigation of horticultural crops. There are considerable associated risks including contamination of soil and plants and accidental ingestion of harmful pathogens. Whilst research on many risks has been conducted, there are knowledge gaps and information is not readily available to managers. The central aim of this project will be to develop a new, comprehensive mathematical risk assessment model able to simulate different irrigation and horticultural scenarios. The primary output will be a user-friendly environmental decision support system incorporating the newly developed model.
