Abstract
The Parafield stormwater harvesting and Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) facility is operated by the City of Salisbury. The facility harvests surface runoff from the Parafield, Ayfield and Cobbler Creek catchment areas. Water is treated in detention ponds and wetlands before being stored in an aquifer and recovered for reuse. Water from the facility has a number of applications, including open space irrigation and distribution to industrial consumers. Unlike conventional water supply systems which tend to harvest water from protected natural or rural landscapes, the Parafield harvesting scheme collects water downstream of an urban environment with a conventional ‘pit and pipe’ drainage system. As such, the harvesting system is exposed to the deleterious impacts of residential and industrial development on runoff water quality. In this study, the potential for risk management strategies are explored for point source pollution events based on simulating the time of travel of hazardous spills and sewer overflows occurring in the catchment area of the scheme.
