Dr. Paul Boulos

Dr. Paul F. Boulos has more than 20 years of industry experience, primarily at the project manager, project director and officer-in-charge levels. Over the years, he has managed and directed projects ranging from master planning and regional water quality studies to large IT integration projects. He is a recognized world-leading expert in water resource engineering and has won many prestigious honors, including technical awards from the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Water Works Association and the US Environmental Protection Agency. Additionally, he has served on technical review committees for several municipal drinking water projects throughout the United States and is currently a Consultant to the US EPA Science Advisory Board Drinking Water Committee (Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule and Long-Term 2 Enhanced Water Treatment Rule), as well as a member of the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council (Committee on Public Water Distribution Systems: Assessing and Reducing Risks). Dr. Boulos also currently serves as chairman of the board of international advisors of the Lebanese American University as well as a member of the external advisory board of the civil and environmental engineering department of the American University of Beirut. He also is a board member of the National Association of GIS-Centric Software (NAGCS) and the Arab-American National Museum National Advisory Board. Dr. Boulos is the author of more than 200 technical articles and eight authoritative text books.

Mr. Bill Capati

Bill Capati is the Manager Infrastructure Planning for Gold Coast Water. Gold Coast Water is a leading water utility in Australia, servicing 497,000 residents and 10.4 million tourists per annum. Gold Coast Water manages $2.8 billion in assets, including 3,140km of water mains and 3,125 km of wastewater mains. One of Gold Coast Water’s leading projects is the Pimpama Coomera Waterfuture (PCWF) Master Plan, which won the International Water Associations (IWA) Global Grand Prize 2006 for Planning in the Project Innovation Awards in Beijing, China and the United Nations Association of Australia’s 2007 World Environment Day Awards for Excellence in Water Management. Bill Capati’s presentation will focus on another innovative research project that Gold Coast Water has undertaken in relation to the management of corrosion and odour problems in sewers. The project was jointly undertaken by the University of Queensland, Gold Coast Water and Sydney Water Corporation and funded by the Australian Research Council, and involved advanced sewer modelling to analyse and manage odour within the Elanora catchment on the Gold Coast. The model allowed the optimization and comparison of several H2S control strategies in terms of their effectiveness and cost implications.
