Safe, fresh drinking water is the most important resource of any country. Melbourne Water Corporation supplies drinking water to more than four million people, and Melbourne is one of the few cities in the world that receives largely unfiltered drinking water from wilderness catchment areas. Built on extensive preliminary collaborative work, the project aims to develop an integrated monitoring and surveillance program, using newly developed technologies, to underpin Melbourne Water Corporation’s prevention strategy against key waterborne diseases, including cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis. This project is sharply focused on the National Science and Research Priorities 'Soil and Water', 'Environmental Change' and 'Health'.

安全、新鲜的饮用水是任何国家最重要的资源。墨尔本自来水公司为400多万人提供饮用水，墨尔本是世界上少数几个从荒野集水区获得基本上未经过滤的饮用水的城市之一。该项目建立在广泛的初步合作工作的基础上，旨在利用新开发的技术制定一个综合监测和监督方案，以支持墨尔本水务公司针对关键水传播疾病（包括隐孢子虫病和贾第虫病）的预防战略。该项目重点关注国家科学和研究优先事项“土壤和水”、“环境变化”和“健康”。
