Publications and reports

This page provides pdf versions of various publications from QUT (and other organisations) that are related to the science of water resources of southeast Queensland.

Most papers are from postgraduate and staff research projects. Some of these are specific to the Lockyer Valley, others are for the local region.


The Water Tours (educational CD), Preda & Cox, 2003: a comprehensive compilation of important facts on water: properties, sources, use & environmental issues in our part of the world. Covers the whole hydrological cycle. Presented as a slide show on CD. Available to schools and community organisations.
