Assessment
Assessment task 2: Water
management issues in urban
catchments
Overview
AT2 involves a detailed investigation of stormwater and effluent
management. Two field trips in Week 7 and Week 8 provide the
background information to support this assignment. One tour visits an
effluent treatment plant. The second tour follows the evolution of
stormwater management over the last 40 years in the Darebin River
catchment.
Urban catchment excursions
This assignment requires you to complete both of the field trips
organised for you. This includes taking notes during your visit and
reading the supporting material provided for you. The tours visit:
a. Hendersons Road Drain in the Darebin Creek catchment. We will
be observing the evolution of stormwater treatment as we move
upstream along Hendersons Road Drain towards Mill Park housing
estate, and the Mernda Village Estate.
b. An Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) which is licensed by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and treats sewage from
various suburbs of Melbourne. Treated effluent may be used in a
variety of water reuse schemes.
Learning Goals
Unit learning outcomes (ULOs)
ULO 2. Apply discipline-specific knowledge to the
interpretation of catchment, riparian and waterway
interactions.
ULO 5. Develop an understanding of urban
stormwater and wastewater management.
This assignment represents 20% of the
assessment for the unit.
Due date: Individual report to be submitted by
08:00pm AEST Friday 24 May (Week 11). Please
also always check the Unit Guide on the unit site
for all submission dates.

The task
Your report should be based on the observations you make during your
field trips.
In the context of a changing attitude to stormwater, from waste-water to
water-resource. You should discuss at least three of the issues you
observed over the course of the two trips with at least one from each
field trip; e.g. one from the ETP and two from the Hendersons Road
drain trip, or vice versa. For each issue you should outline:
Format
The report should be as concise as possible. Avoid a travelogue, i.e. a
site-by-site description of the journey. Instead, focus on the issues,
drawing on observations at the various sites visited to develop an
overview of stormwater and wastewater management. Draw attention to
any trends you see in the management of the issues you discuss.
Organise your report by issue rather than site visited. Illustrate your
discussion with photographs from your field trip or screenshots from the
virtual tour, and your observations from the sites visited on the
excursions/virtual tours. Be sure to acknowledge the source of any
photographs you use in the figure captions.
The report should start off with a few lines of Background about the
‘type’ of water we observed being managed on each of the
excursions/virtual trips. The focus should be on the issues observed on
each tour so you are advised to use the issues as the headings in your
report. The report should be 1750 words long (+/- 250 words)
excluding references. Please note that 2000 is the absolute maximum
word limit and that you may be marked down for exceeding that limit.
Make sure to include your word count at the beginning of your report.
Marking criteria
You are strongly advised to consult the detailed analytic rubric that
provides a breakdown of how exactly the points will be awarded.
References
References should follow Harvard style of formatting and use author_xfffe_date in-text citations. See the following links for details on how to apply
this formatting style correctly:
