During our visit to Makassar, I had the opportunity to visit the village of Batua to see the work of RISE - an Australian funded climate resilience project. It includes flood-resistant pathways, rainwater harvesting systems, septic tanks and new ways to treat waste water.

SA Health is using new high-tech water testing to get ahead of the next COVID wave. Submarine-like devices are being sent swimming through our wastewater with positive detections already on the rise. | @HannahFoord10

Nice work South Australia! Using the torpedoes (or nicely renamed here as wastewater submarines) to successfully track SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater! #CovidPassiveSampler

YAY! Our TORPEDO passive sampling unit is now available - free download and 3D print as many as you like! If you want the original file, let me know and I shall send! If you don't have a 3D printer, we can make and send some to you! bosl.com.au/wiki/Passive_Sam… #CovidPassiveSampler

David, First go with your Torpedo passive samplers yielded positive results - used in a location where we would have expected positives I might add - but so far so good ! (Photo-post exposure of one of the filters).
