There are no projects currently underway to address some of the practical aspects of the application of the DALY approach to setting drinking water treatment standards for Australia: cost implications and source water challenge. This is the gap to be filled by this study by providing the Australian Water industry with:

• A scientifically credible, refereed WQRA Research Report available that can be used to support water utility’s and regulator’s treatment decisions by early 2012
• A fact sheet on treatment requirements for Australian source waters to meet health based targets incorporated into Australian Drinking Water Guidelines by late 2012.
