Receptivity to Decentralised Urban Water Systems PhD Scholarship
Scholarship Description
This research project will contribute towards the theme ‘Society and Institutions’ which is a part of a $17m, interdisciplinary national research program entitled “Cities as Water Supply Catchments”. The successful candidate will work full-time for 3 years to investigate the different expectations community members have regarding traditional (centralised services) and diverse water supply approaches (i.e. decentralised, alternative urban water supplies), with a particular emphasis on stormwater harvesting. The candidate will be expected to scope and design a quantitative, large-scale resident survey, with the aim of characterising the scope of expectations amongst community members and to identify pathways forward for advancing localised, sustainable water practices.
