6 - Clean Water and Sanitation
Drops of Wisdom
Drops of Wisdom is a three-meter diameter interactive tabletop display commissioned by Water New South Wales for the Warragamba Dam visitor centre.
RMIT Water Management
RMIT University actively promotes the efficient use of water and the maximisation of water reuse across the University, the RMIT Sustainability Policy provides the guiding principle to minimise the consumption of resources through good design and reuse.
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.
