Michael Galloway is a team leader in water cycle management working in NSW Local Government.
His team is involved in all aspects of the water cycle including stormwater pollution, potable water conservation, flood planning, water recycling, creek restoration, sewer leak detection, and park lake management.
Michael studied a MEngSc part time over three years, specialising in environmental engineering. Studying part time while working full time was a real time management challenge but it was worth it.
Michael is passionate about his work and he says, “The MEngSc provided real skills in analysis, research, technical capability, and a breadth of knowledge in environmental engineering to enable improvements in management of the water cycle.
“The breadth of knowledge gained included groundwater hydrology, catchment and water resource modelling, requirements and practical procedures for cost-effective analysis of water quality, microbiology, and water and wastewater treatment operations.”
Michael believes the MEngSc will continue to support him throughout his career.
