Electro-chloronation is (maybe??) a new method to test on #smartdams to improve water quality, great to work with @FBG_Jerramungup @CWSS_UWA @UWAresearch and a big shout out to @watercorpwa

Monitoring of sub surface drainage systems showing with a total rainfall between 18 July - 7 Sept of 76.8mm produced a total volume of water equating to 5,519,320 L. That’s over two Olympic sized pools of water! 💧
