6 - Clean Water and Sanitation

Sustainable Development Goals

The following research projects have been specifically aligned to Sustainable Development Goal 6 and the aim to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. These projects and initiatives are examples of the University’s contribution to the SDGs.

Supercity Nansha

The Supercity Nansha project aims to explore and highlight the important role architecture can play in the context of sustainability and liveable spaces.

Sustainable water management system

RMIT has developed an alternative water desalination and irrigation system that is simple, compact and produces no greenhouse emissions.

The Litter Trackers: Reducing Littering by Education

The Litter Trackers program will be the first study of its kind in Victoria to deploy GPS-tracked litter at 20 sites within Port Phillip Bay catchments to demonstrate the life of litter once it leaves a person's hand and reaches our waterways.

Aquatic Pollution Prevention Partnership

This research partnership between Melbourne Water and RMIT is to undertake dedicated, timely and relevant research to identify and manage pollutants in waterways and bays.

Engineering solutions for informal settlements in Solomon Islands

Engineers from different disciplines are designing solutions to mitigate water problems in five highly vulnerable settlements in Honiara, Solomon Islands.

Measuring, monitoring, and translating urban liveability in Bangkok

RMIT urban health scholars are partnering with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration to develop and test a suite of open source 'urban liveability' indicators aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The Sustainable Urban Precincts Program

The Sustainable Urban Precincts Program (SUPP) was a $128 million project to reduce energy and water use, significantly lowering greenhouse gas emissions associated with RMIT campus operations.

Land Tenure and Climate Vulnerability

This research project examines the inter-relationships between land tenure and climate vulnerability.

Sustainable water desalination using waste heat and renewable energy resources

The research under investigation by RMIT Energy Conservation and Renewable (Energy Care) group aims to develop sustainable water desalination technologies by using waste heat or renewable energy sources.
