Rymill Park boating pond is deep large recreation lake which is in South Australian Capital of
Adelaide in the eastern parklands. Park occupies 36 acres of land and maintained by local
Adelaide City Council (ACC). It is bordered by East and Dequetteville terrace and Bartels and
Rundle Roads. The Rymill pond has a central island which is access by footbridge and horse
crossing is on the bed of pond.
Rymill pond has stand-alone water feature and pond is generally filled with recycled water
supply. Moreover, evidence of runoff water from surrounding parklands also drain into the
pond and lead to cause quality issues of the pond. The pond has very limited movement of
water raises the issue of collecting sediments and residential solids like litter and organic
matters entering the pond.
Additionally, overflow from the pond is not connected with any sewer or a soak away which
has an unknown condition. The utilization of sewer main will be required to renegotiation
with SA water. Nearby infrastructure and other services include the O’Bahn extension and
sewer main supply.
Sludge from the pond is transported to near Tampawardi which is also known as ‘Park 24',
where the slurry is placed into bunds and allowed to drain out water. Evidence that sludge is
not further used for composting in accordance with federal, state and local regulations from
the report of ACC.
Australian Standards are used to carry out all the design projects.
SAEC Consultants call for contour map of Rymill Park, Adelaide Parklands management
strategy 2015-2025, EPA (South Australia) guideline for water quality, EPA-State of the
Environment summary report 2018 from the client. A Soil profile and Bore log Data for last
decade shall be required for Geotechnical Engineer of SAEC Consultants. Moreover, local
traffic data also needed to determine a plan for traffic rerouting during the construction
process. The permission from community members and local people are required from the
client.

On the other hand, it is found green algae is relatively high level in the pond water, which is
1990 cell/mL out of 775-2950 cell/mL. The total phosphorus level in the water is 3.9 mg/L
within the range of 3.5-4.5 mg/L. This indicates the high level of phosphorus and nitrogen in
the water so that the algal blooms can happen overnight and the whole pond water will turn
green (as shown in Figure 3) which impacts the appearance of the water features. Fortunately,
it has no detection of blue-green algae, which is toxic.
With stand-alone water feature, Rymill pond has very limited water movement. Nearby
sediments and residential solids, which includes leaves, duck faces etc., are accumulated.
When the pond suffers from seasonal algal blooms due to limited water movement, the water
feature won't be pleasant to visitors especially while the pond is used for equestrian events.
Besides, the pond has the overflow issue. Unfortunately, it is not connected to the sewer or
a soakaway. To maintain the cleanness and avoid the overflow issue of the pond, an annually
routine is conducted that relocate the sludge from the cleaned pond to a bund of Tampawardi
‘Park 24’ and allowed to drain. It is found the sludge mainly consists of leaf litter and duck
faecal material which is not suitable for composting according to the law.

The initial step of the nitrogen cycle begins with ammonia, which is a product of decaying
matter and fish waste. These substances are emitted into the water by bacterial activity
breaking down organic matter. The ammonia is broken down by Nitrosomonas using an
aerobic process in the first step of the nitrogen cycle to form nitrite. The subsequent action
of the nitrogen cycle is performed by Nitrobacter using another aerobic process. This step
converts the nitrite into the final product which is Nitrate.
The final step of the nitrogen cycle is the release or absorption of the nitrogen from the
nitrates. This can happen in several ways, release as nitrogen gas or the assimilation into plant
tissues. The nitrates under some specific circumstances are processed anaerobically by
bacteria deep in the soil or rocks. This process which can only occur deep within the substrates
since there is little to no oxygen present produces nitrogen gas. On the other hand, plants can
uptake nitrates and use them as the building blocks for their cellular structure as they grow.
21
We detect. We solve problems.
To enhance the naturally occurring nitrogen cycle the pond water could be pumped or
circulated. Let us imagine the Rymill pond is an aquarium, which is also a stand-alone water
feature. By increasing the water movement, the concentration of ammonia within the pond
water will naturally decrease due to the enhanced natural nitrogen cycle, and this will result
in better water quality. The increase in water movement also allows for more gas exchange
at the water surface. This will increase the oxygen concentration of the water, also allow other
gasses to exchange more freely with the atmosphere.
A biological filter (see Figure 4) concept can be used in this case. For example, water
movement through piles of porous rocks will aid the nitrogen cycle so that the water quality
can be improved. The final process of the nitrogen cycle that has to be dealt with is the
removal of nitrates. Over time the nitrates will slowly be converted into nitrogen gas deep in
the substrate of the pond and within rocks. To remove the excess nitrates in the water, reeds
or water lily could be grown on a section of the pond water system. This also solves the
problem with the excess phosphorus from the duck feces since plants will use that as well.
The reduction of the total water nutrients will eventually lead to clearer water since there will
be less green cell algae present in the pond water.

To reduce the adverse effects from the runoff entering the pond water, the runoff could be
partially diverted. Some of the runoff could be diverted into the stormwater system that
surrounds the area. The remainder of the runoff can be diverted into a side section of the
pond that would act as a filter and strain out most of the course debris. The nutrients that are
in the runoff water will be processed by the biological filtration system of the pond.
This could be done by partially surrounding the pond with a grated spoon drain which would
lead into the stormwater system. The drain would be placed on the side of the pond where is
the furthest from the filter area. This would catch the unfiltered runoff before entering the
pond and divert it to the stormwater system. The remainder of the runoff would enter the
pond in the filter side where it would be processed through the biological filter. The coarse
debris would naturally collect within the reeds for easy removal. In addition, netting material
(e.g. trash traps as shown in Figure 5) could be added in front of the reeds to capture coarse
floating debris and floating plastic pollution. This would require regular cleaning but
significantly increase the aesthetics of the pond by stopping rubbish from entering the
system.

We detect. We solve problems.
When the water level of the pond gets too high, it will reach the level where the overflow will
be needed. The current existing pipework needs to be inspected so its condition can be
determined. If it is used, it can be linked into the stormwater system, and the excess water
will be removed. If the pipework is not usable, then a new overflow system needs to be
created that will manage the overflow into the surrounding stormwater system.
Initial investigation shows that the most possible location where overflow may occur is the
northern side of the pond (as shown in Figure 6). SAEC will invite the relevant organisation to
provide sufficient material of the main sewer nearby and consult with them about the current
condition of the facility. Based on collecting information, the feasibility study can be
conducted solidly. Within several aspects of designing the overflow system, the intake of the
overflow is a critical aspect of the system. This must remain free-flowing and resist fouling.
Safety of the overflow also needs to be considered since a large volume of water escaping will
cause strong suction and potentially pose a hazard. The impact on wildlife is also a factor in
the final design of the overflow. The overflow can be used to control the optimal water depth
of the lake. The conceptual design would look something like a square pit or pipe (see Figure
7) with a removable basket for easy cleaning. All would be covered from the top and only
allow water to enter from the side of the pond.
The surrounding stormwater system needs to be surveyed as not to exceed its capacity. The
overflow would discharge a large volume of water into the system when it was activated
during a heavy rain event. If the runoff were also managed, the overflow events would have
benefits for cleaning the pond. The rain runoff likely contains far lower nitrates and
phosphates that are present in the pond water, and this would have a diluting effect. The
larger the rain event, the more pronounced the total dilution of the nutrients.

Sludge Management
If all the above measures are in place, the sludge level of the pond should be enhanced
considerably. Eventually, the sludge level will become great gradually in an extended period,
and the pond will need to be drained and cleaned far less often. The significant reduction in
maintenance fee during the service period can be expected. Besides, the filtration system can
be cleaned by pumping out the sludge and trapped debris from the side of the pond to ensure
that it remains free-flowing. Litter removal will be more convenient since the runoff will be
diverted to one side and litter should accumulate there.
A maintenance plan needs to be put in place to ensure all the systems are in functional
condition. This plan would include the cleaning of the overflow grate to ensure any heavy rain
events can be coped with without excessive flooding. The runoff drainage system gate needs
to be kept clear of debris to ensure the allocated runoff is collected before it enters the pond.
The filtration system would require regular inspections to ensure it is not blocked and water
is still freely flowing. Finally, the netting that is placed in front of the filter to remove floating
litter and large debris needs to be cleaned regularly.
All the above countermeasures will ensure that the rate of accumulation of the sludge in the
pond will be efficiently reduced and the maintaining activities such as pumping and draining
events need to be applied with far less frequency. Furthermore, with regular maintenance,
the aesthetics of the pond will improve dramatically since there will be far less unsightly litter
and debris accumulation. This will also mean that the water remains far cleaner appearance
and will look limpid instead of green by achieving lower nutrients and fewer algae.

There are three potential options for water resource management. First, treat the whole pond
as a big fish tank, and split the pond into two portions as shown in Figure 8. The northern west
part will be reconstructed as the wetland to provide the function of the biofilter. Meanwhile,
the pump system will be set to draw the water into the wetland and out to the pond. By doing
so, the water feature of the pond is no longer stand-alone, and the nitrogen cycle is improved.
At where the possible overflow occurs, the flood pipe system will be installed to disperse
water while exceeding the expecting water level. Furthermore, the grated drain would be
placed around the pond and avoid untreated stormwater get into the pond and direct runoff
to where the wetland is.
The second option has similar principles as the first one, and the grated drain is set around
the pond and the same location for the flood system. However, instead of creating the
wetland inside the existing pond, the second option is to excavate another place right outside
the north of the park where the biofilter system will be installed (see Figure 9). The concern
is it would be more comfortable to apply the maintenance as the biofilter system is outside
of the park (easier to turn off the water supply if needed). However, make sure the
construction will not affect the existing structure as the purposed location is close to the
extension of O’Bahn.
The last option is as same as second but to have the biofilter system underground so that the
appearance can keep unchanged. Also, an underground tank will be prepared for storing
water from overflow. All the options above focus on the main objectives mentioned earlier,
the water resource management of Rymill Park Pond will be adequately handled with SAEC.
Besides, the improved water quality may assess building up the irrigation system for the
surrounding plants to have more sustainable use of stormwater. With any other concerns
have not touched, for the time being, SAEC will accept any changes in the further study if
required.

Luckily, SAEC has experienced environmental engineers who have been dedicating to reduce
of environmental footprint for years. Environmental issues are always given priority in SAEC;
two crucial components EIA and EMP are included in the process. Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA) shall be conducted with appropriate resources to examine the conditions of
water, environment, existing stormwater drainage system and services. With a good
understanding of the project area, the environmental management plan (EMP) will be
designed based on resources such as Adelaide Park Lands Management Strategy, EPA
(Environmental Protection Authority) report and other relevant accordance.
Besides, stable and continuous communications between team departments (e.g. water
resource, structural, transport, geotechnical and quality management etc.) and clients will be
beneficial to identify and investigate the environmental issues throughout the project.
Following are the main components involved in environmental considerations after the initial
investigation of the project area.
During the construction, principles to manage disposal and necessary testing of excavated soil
shall be defined clearly in the EMP at the feasibility study stage. If soil excavation encounters
groundwater issues, the management to the disposal of groundwater pumped from
excavation should meet the requirements in EPA and outline in EMP as well.

Consequently, monitoring stormwater quality would be the first step during the construction
stage and make sure the balance of the ecosystem or any environmental impacts on the pond.
Next, improving the drainage system to treat the pond water, stormwater and the runoff
entering the pond. Several potential options including:
Trash Traps – To the litters or residential solid at the entrance of the waterway.
Gross Pollutant Traps (GPTs) – Before the stormwater come into the pond, apply GPTs
(see Figure 12 to remove the gross pollutant such as domestic plastics (plastic bags,
clingwrap etc.), industrial packaging, plastic bottles, paper (including) cigarette butts,
sediments and organics (grass and garden clippings etc.). Note that GPTs can’t stop
chemicals.

5.3.2 Constraints
The landowner of The Rymill pond does not want to change the design of the footbridge, and
horse crossing. It is restricted not to move the central island. There could be some limitation
when designing around the pound.
The local activity may affect the construction process and duration. For example, the
Mitsubishi motors Australian international is held every year around the Rymill pond. There
may be another party using the pound for other horse activity. The date and duration of
construction will be affected.
5.3.3 Consideration
Carry out site investigation. Using the water and soil sample tested to form the site to
determine the property of the site. Then investigate how to improve the performance.
If there is the new design of the underground water pipeline by the water team, our
geotechnical team will work with them for any assistance, such as earthwork.

The pavement in the bottom of the pound needs to redesign and construct. The design
of pavement is based on the related soil test, available space, water permeability,
durability and budget.
Constructing retaining wall during the project. The retaining wall can prevent
surrounding soil from leaking into the pound during the project. After the project, the
retaining wall can be remaining in the pound as a support for the surround pond soil.
The choice of material for retaining wall needs to consider for a long life span.
5.3.4 Approach
Our geotechnical team aims to find the most appropriate strategy to improve water quality
and to achieve a sustainable solution. Here is some approach appropriate for this project:
Carry out the bore-hole test in a different area around the pound to achieve a better
understanding of the soil behaviour in the whole area.
There is some material that can be considered when designing the pavement. For example,
estimate the maximum load of the pound in heavy rainfall and use a granular material as a
pavement layer or using concrete sub-layer to withstand the heavy water load.

There are some essential aims our team would like to achieve. Our team will ensure the local
environment will be restorable after construction, and there will be no air and water pollution
caused by the project. We will protect and give a better environmental life in the area. We
will ensure any move by the project are approved by any party related to the area such as
local communities and green communities. Our team will investigate any risk that may arise
during and after the construction and have a preparation guideline.
5.4.2 Consideration
Our urban planning team will gather many background information for that area, such as the
local population, local environment to ensure the project is feasible in the area. We will need
to have an agreement by the land user and the local community before making any move to
the land.
The project is ensured to follow and meet any published policy and regulation. The whole
project is guaranteed to satisfy any related area in the Australian Standard. The project will
follow the policy and regulation issued by SA Water Department, The City of Adelaide and
Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure.
These are not all the problems and others may be found until it goes badly. As a result, SAEC

The above are the typical three approach to deal with duck problems, SAEC has a professional
team to supply the best solution for the clients. The first option is usually used in a smaller
pond, and it may affect the appearance of the pond. The second one may be one possible
option as it can also provide the place for the visitors to have the shading area during the
summer. The third option is the most recommended solution for Rymill Park because a water
fountain can also improve the flow of the water and help the pond be alive.
On the contrary, if the stakeholders do not think duck is a problem after the water resource
management is completed. SAEC team sets up the plan as below:
During construction, the local life in the pound is affected. There are many ducks in the area.
Therefore, free land can be used to place the duck temporarily. It is assumed the duck can
move freely within the place and the project will not affect them. After the improvement of
water management of the pond, the duck faeces issue can also be solved since the water
feature is no longer stand-alone. During the construction, our team may discuss with the local
community to hire some worker to feed the duck if required.
Consultant with stakeholders will be the first step before we take the next one. In SAEC,
understand the expectation of clients always comes first.

In terms of pond management, we will propose different surface waste treatment methods
to improve water quality. At the same time, water treatment systems are also designed inside
the pond to enhance the quality of water and reduce sludge accumulation.
For the planning of the surrounding facilities, we will reconsider the functional division of the
park, such as increasing the number and density of toilets and changing a particular area of
the park into a dedicated parking lot.
At the beginning of the design, the survey engineers and geotechnical engineers will conduct
on-the-spot investigations, adding or modifying the contents of existing drawings to improve
the accuracy of the design. Water and resource systems engineers will redesign ponds to
enhance the quality of water to benefit the surrounding environment. At the same time,
transportation engineers will detour the road to minimise traffic to the area. Moreover, they
will design the parking lot location and the number of parking spaces based on the data
collected in the previous period.
Later in the design period, the administrators of each department will hold a summary of the
design of the department, and the departments will also exchange design plans to prevent
inevitable conflicts between the designs. Under the guidance of the project manager, the final
integration gives the most effective solutions to the customer. This program must have the
most economical, most viable, environmentally friendly, and most sustainable features.
