Restoring the Banks of Waterways in the Shoalhaven Region
Water Technology assessed the extent of bank erosion and determined the feasibility of bank treatment options...
An overall planning programme for the Hervey Bay sewerage system considered a capacity upgrade at Pulgul Sewage Treatment Plant (STP).
Water Technology was commissioned by Wide Bay Water and Waste Services (WBW) to assess water quality implications concerning the Pulgul STP capacity upgrade works. This study built upon previous results Water Technology provided to WBW and included assessing the discharge from the existing Pulgul STP into Pulgul Creek and the relocation of the discharge to a location offshore of the Urangan marina.
Scope:
Assess the water quality implications concerning the Pulgul STP capacity upgrade works.
Location:
Hervey Bay Queensland
Client:
Wide Bay Water and Waste Services
Bathymetric data, wind and water conditions were sourced and applied to the Mike 3 flexible mesh model as tidal conditions, catchment inflows and wind forcing alongside the Pulgul STP discharge. Calibration took place through a controlled discharge from the Pulgul STP, allowing total nitrogen and total phosphorus levels to be measured and compared to model simulation.
