2. The Centre
Operating out of two locations – Kensington campus (established in
1987) and the Water Research Laboratory, at Manly Vale (established in
1959), the UNSW Water Research Centre (WRC) is at the forefront of
multidisciplinary research in water resources, engineering, management
and the development of tools for environmental management and
sustainability for improving the aquatic and atmospheric environments.
The co-directors are Prof Richard Stuetz and A/Prof Bill Peirson. As an
externally funded research centre within the School of Civil and Environ-
mental Engineering, WRC interacts and collaborates with industry, both
State and Federal governments, and research groups in other universities
in Australia and overseas. It maintains the largest postgraduate and un-
dergraduate teaching programmes in water engineering in Australia, and
currently supports 65 research engineers/scientists and 72 PhD research
students.
Program Areas
WRC has 12 core program areas of research and applied research activities, supported by academic and researchers from the Centre, and PhD students from the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The 12 core program areas area:
Civil and Environmental Hydraulics
Coastal Engineering
Biogeochemical Processes
Waste Management
Hydroclimatology
Risk Assessment
Sustainability Assessment
Groundwater
Trace Organics
Water and Wastewater Treatment
Atmospheric Emissions and Odours
Estuarine Engineering
The Centre’s activities are grouped around three dominant research themes:
Water Supply Water Supply Water Supply - Australia is a continent of low rainfall and its development and economic robustness is constrained by presently
available and potential water supplies
The Coast The Coast - Over 86% of the Australian community live in the coastal zone with consequent environmental impact and climate
vulnerabilities
SustainabilitySustainabilitySustainability - To maintain Australia’s current level of population and economic growth, water and contamination management,
with innovative solutions in terms of environmental, energy and social considerations. The Centre is active in fundamental water research in Australia, particularly in the fields of:
Surface and groundwater hydrology - ongoing Australian leadership of the quantifying of rainfall, runoff and ground water flows at
catchment scales.
Public health and water treatment - fundamental investigations of the chemistry and microbiology of water for urban use providing
multidisciplinary research in water and wastewater engineering and the development of tools for environmental management and
sustainability for improving the aquatic and atmospheric environments.
Civil and environmental hydraulics - undertaking practical project-based and theoretical hydraulics research, water supply for rivers,
lakes, estuaries and coast.
Research is actively undertaken using the specialist large-scale facilities at our Water Research Laboratory. During 2014, Water Research
Laboratory (WRL) celebrated its 55th year as a leading international research laboratory in hydraulics, groundwater and coastal engineering.
WRL academic and research staff continue to undertake fundamental research and provide specialist professional engineering advice on
specific projects across the water engineering discipline. A historical strength of WRL is the strong collaborative interaction between
academic and project-based activities.
With the unique large-scale physical facilities at the Manly Vale site, a track record for addressing computationally demanding numerical
modeling in water engineering and significant experience in undertaking field investigations, WRL continues to uphold its global reputation.

A Tribute to Associate Professor William Peirson
But perhaps Bill’s career is best articulated in the development of a 30 year association with the Water Research
Laboratory. In 1983 he became a WRL Engineer, in 1990 he was promoted to Senior Engineer. In 1998 he took on the huge
job of WRL Business Manager. Finally, he became Director in 2006. While he was Director, the WRL celebrated its fiftieth
anniversary in 2009 displaying an amazing story of resilience and growth.
Bill Peirson’s commitment to and affection for WRL and CVEN are clearly evident in this journey. One of the things he
prizes most highly about his long term association is the generosity of teachers, supervisors and mentors who became
colleagues, many of them dear friends. He became part of a community who understand and support each other.
This collegiality is also one of the reasons the WRL has flourished. Dr Peirson recognised this as one the organisation’s
great strengths. “It is a special place, a community. Everybody helps”. Building on the firm base of industry-supported
research created by the previous director, Associate Professor Ron Cox, Bill guided a research transformation at WRL. Big
picture, blue-sky research expanded significantly during his directorship, often funded by ARC grants, supported proactive
projects worth millions of dollars. This forward thinking approach acknowledged the greatest challenge that faces civil and
environmental engineers in Australia: how do we re-think future strategies for a sustainable future.
So he was delighted when the WRL helped secure the 37th International Conference on Coastal Engineering for Sydney.
The success of this bid is testament to an ever expanding and international profile of leadership and innovation.
Bill Peirson has always recognised that it is the individuals that drive complex systems. As all industries become more
globalised, career trajectories have moved away from the local toward international networks. Bill has recognised the
great need to support students navigate the anxieties that globalisation brings. His new position as Dean of New College
offers him the opportunity to re-connect with young students in need of the ballast that experience can offer. Bill Peirson
can also offer them a genuinely interested ear and gentle advice. He seems at home at New College. As he walks around
students greet him and he knows their names and their achievements.
The professional association between the School and A/Prof Bill Pierson will persist. He will continue as an Adjunct Fellow
and the close personal and professional ties formed over thirty years cannot be broken. The School of Civil and
Environmental Engineering and Water Research Laboratory would like to thank Bill Peirson not only for his many
contributions and achievements, but for his kindness, his ethics and his collegiality. He will be missed.
In 2014, after nearly 9 years as Director of Water Research Laboratory, and 30
years of service to the School, Associate Professor Bill Peirson resigned his
position to take up a new opportunity as Dean of Residents at UNSW’s New
College.
Bill Peirson first joined the School as an undergraduate student completing a
double degree in Civil Engineering and Science. In 1987 he completed a CVEN
Masters degree in Engineering Science, then moved onto a PhD in Mathematics
and Ocean Engineering.
As a teacher of undergraduate and post graduate students, Associate Professor
Bill Peirson has shared his expertise in water engineering and numerical
modelling, constantly re-invigorating his units with new teaching materials and
methods. As a researcher he has published prolifically in wave dynamics, coastal
structures, water management systems, hydraulics and estuarine processes.

New Staff Member Dr Stefan Felder
Staff Focus Dr Fiona Johnson
Dr Fiona Johnson has been an academic in the Water Research Centre at UNSW since
September 2012. Her research is focused on climate change impact assessments and
understanding extreme hydrological events. Fiona previously worked in consulting
engineering and as a hydrologist at the Bureau of Meteorology on the deriving design
rainfalls for Australia as part of an "Australian Rainfall and Runoff" revision project.
Fiona is currently a Chief Investigator on two Australian Research Council Discovery
projects. The first project is investigating the usefulness of remotely sensed data in
improving flood forecasting for parts of the world with little or no gauged data. This
project has a large team of researchers and students from the WRC as well as CSIRO and
overseas universities.
The second project which commenced in 2015 is aimed at improving our understanding
of the mechanisms that lead to extreme sub-daily rainfalls. This knowledge will assist in
interpreting the outputs of climate models and in determining the likely changes to
design rainfalls in the future due to climate change.
Fiona's teaching includes a project in first year engineering teaching students about
humanitarian engineering. This year the project is based in Cameroon and students are
designing devices to help collect rainwater and recycle water within individual
households. Fiona is also the coordinator for 3rd year Water Resources Engineering and
master's level Urban Hydrology.
His research interests include:
- Energy dissipation and design optimisation of hydraulic structures
- Aeration and air-water interactions in high-velocity free-surface flows
- Physical modelling of turbulent flows
- Design of instrumentation and advanced data processing tools.
Stefan was recently awarded his PhD in hydraulic engineering from the University of
Queensland. His thesis was entitled “Air-Water Flow Properties on Stepped Spillways
for Embankment Dams: Aeration, Energy Dissipation and Turbulence on Uniform, Non
-Uniform and Pooled Stepped Chutes.” As a member of the Brisbane Organisation
Committee for the 34th IAHR World Congress, he was responsible for the student and
young professional activities and coordination of the volunteers.
Dr Stefan Felder is a lecturer at the Water Research Laboratory in the School of Civil
and Environmental Engineering, UNSW. His expertise is in the fields of water
engineering, hydraulic engineering and environmental fluid mechanics.
Prior to his PhD, Dr Felder worked in various research and project roles in water engineering at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland,
the Research Institute for Water and Environment (FWU) at the University of Siegen, Germany, and the Research Institute for Hydraulic
Engineering and Water Resource Management (IWW) at RWTH Aachen University, Germany. From the latter he holds a Dipl.-Ing. degree
in Civil Engineering.
