<strong>2006</strong>-20<strong>07</strong> has been a remarkable year <strong>of</strong> growth and success for the environmental<br />
engineering group in many fronts: research student enrolment, laboratory space and<br />
facilities, publication output, awards, research recognition, fundraising and revenues. The<br />
group maintained a large number <strong>of</strong> postgraduate students, focusing on the areas <strong>of</strong> water<br />
quality, water resources, non-potable and indirect potable water reuse, advanced water and<br />
wastewater treatments, and ecological engineering.<br />
