Water is a critical resource for societies worldwide and Australia is one of the driest nations on Earth. Options to treat ‘used’ or lower quality waters for reuse are becoming a necessity. This project aims to implement advanced nanotechnology solutions to improve performance characteristics of widely adopted water treatment membranes, which have the potential to reduce water treatment costs in Australia. This is made possible by the collaboration with Australia's largest manufacturer of water treatment membranes. The outcomes will lead towards a lower maintenance water treatment technology available to communities, at lower cost. The application of such a technology will span from local small scale to major installations worldwide.

水是世界各地社会的重要资源，澳大利亚是地球上最干旱的国家之一。处理“用过的”或质量较低的水以供重复使用的选择正在成为一种必要。该项目旨在实施先进的纳米技术解决方案，以改善被广泛采用的水处理膜的性能特征，这些膜有可能降低澳大利亚的水处理成本。这是通过与澳大利亚最大的水处理膜制造商合作实现的。这些成果将导致社区以更低的成本获得更低的维护水处理技术。这项技术的应用将从当地的小规模扩展到世界各地的大型设施。
