Every rainfall event sends a surge of pollutants into our rivers, creeks, and oceans. Understanding how stormwater pollution is generated and how to treat it effectively is critical to preventing long‑term damage. This course provides a practical, evidence‑based introduction to stormwater treatment, giving participants the knowledge and tools needed to protect waterways and support better community outcomes.

In this three-part course, participants explore the hydrological and water‑quality impacts of urbanisation, the principles of Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD), and the performance of key treatment assets including gross pollutant traps (GPTs), sediment basins, wetlands, and bioretention systems. The course also examines regulatory drivers, pollutant reduction targets, the limitations of current “best practice” approaches, and common design and maintenance challenges.

Designed for engineers, planners, and water professionals, this course blends technical foundations with real‑world case studies and asset performance insights. Participants gain a clear understanding of stormwater pollution, treatment performance, and practical strategies for delivering resilient, long‑lasting water infrastructure.
