TL;DR: The first year post-fire suspended sediment exports varied from 0.017 to 50% of the total suspended solids in streams for the first year after fire, with an estimated increase of 1-1459 times unburned exports as discussed by the authors.
534 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the practicalities, costs and social attitudes of using greywater in and around the home, and four typical homes were selected and plumbed to utilize greywater for toilet flushing and garden irrigation.
346 citations
TL;DR: The composition of nitrogen in Melbourne was broadly consistent with international data, and the level of dissolved inorganic nitrogen was higher in Melbourne than in the international literature, which has implications for stormwater management.

TL;DR: In this article, a review summarises the established wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) biomarkers, and presents a critical review of the current capabilities of WBE, and discuss possible future strategies and challenges anticipated in analysing wastewater to measure chemical markers of population health as well as biological markers of microbial exposure and disease.
Abstract: Wastewater is a complex matrix containing a wide range of chemical and biological markers of human activity. Relating concentrations of these "waste" materials in wastewater influent streams to population-scale use, consumption, or rates of exposure, can provide important qualitative or quantitative information on the activity of inhabitants within a given wastewater catchment. Many publications in this field of study have focussed on the usage of pharmaceuticals, illicit drugs, tobacco and alcohol. However, many other potential applications are emerging which can contribute useful knowledge on human health, exposure to industrial chemicals, infectious diseases or pathogens and antibiotic resistance. This review summarises the established wastewater based epidemiology (WBE) biomarkers, and presents a critical review of the current capabilities of WBE. We further discuss possible future strategies and challenges anticipated in analysing wastewater to measure chemical markers of population health as well as biological markers of microbial exposure and disease.
