Next generation water and engineering hub

The researchers and staff of Charles Sturt University have collaborated with local industry partners and established the Next Generation Water Engineering and River Management Hub (NGWERMH). This hub aims to develop solutions to current and future problems threatening inland Australia’s waterways, including poor water quality, and diminishing fish stocks. The special scholarships provided by this hub enhanced opportunities in science for outstanding graduates enrolling in a PhD at Charles Sturt University. The hub’s project called “Citizen Science - Integrating community groups into basin-scale fish tagging and recovery programs” has given the opportunities to enrol more PhD students to contribute on fish detection systems which have been installed across the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB) to understand fish migrations by the Australian government.
