It's worth re-reading Hottod's earlier post. It gives some info on this work.
Also I pulled up Una Ryan's Murdoch Uni page and it shows her current areas of research which would be of value to water utilities like Sydney Water.
From her page:
Innovative approaches to understanding and limiting the public health risks of Cryptosporidium and Giardia in animals in Australian catchments (Linkage Project LP130100035).
Cryptosporidium & Giardia (C&G) are the major public health concern of water utilities & are responsible for disease in a wide range of hosts, 95.5% of waterborne protozoan outbreaks worldwide, can be fatal in the immunocompromised and are resistant to chlorine. This proposal will target a key knowledge gap; the lack of quantitative data on human infectious sp. It will analyse C&G in animals and human sewage in catchments across 3 states (WA, NSW and Qld), identify the species/ subtypes, the percentage viability and develop improved modelling and quantitative microbial risk assessments (QMRA). The project will result in the development of more targeted, cost-effective measures to minimise exposures to infections, accurate risk assessment, & scientific catchment management.
also
another project is on the molecular epidemiology of Cryptosporidium and other parasites in fish.
