Stormwater is one of the last freshwater resources that has not been utilised to its full potential. However, large amount of faecal pathogens in stormwater limit its harvesting practice.This project aims at addressing this significant problem by developing the next generation of photocatalytic membranes for stormwater disinfection. The proposed membranes not only are passive water treatment technology which only utilises solar energy, but also are operated regardless of weather, even at night. The results will provide new insights on development of future water treatment technologies. This project will also raise Australia’s credibility and competitiveness in the water and membrane industries.

雨水是最后尚未充分利用的淡水资源之一。然而，雨水中大量的粪便病原体限制了其收集实践。该项目旨在通过开发下一代用于雨水消毒的光催化膜来解决这一重大问题。所提出的膜不仅是仅利用太阳能的被动水处理技术，而且不受天气影响，甚至在夜间也能运行。研究结果将为未来水处理技术的发展提供新的见解。该项目还将提高澳大利亚在水和膜行业的信誉和竞争力。
