She is the waterways and wetlands research specialist at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.melbournewater.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Melbourne Water<\/a>, Australia and researcher at the <a href=\"https:\/\/findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au\/profile\/863083-belinda-hatt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">University of Melbourne\u2019s<\/a> School of Agriculture, Food and Ecosystem Sciences. Her interests are in vegetated water treatment systems, monitoring and treatment of stormwater and the application of stormwater harvesting to improve waterway health and urban liveability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Belinda obtained her Bachelor in Environmental Sciences at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rmit.edu.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT)<\/a> in 2001 and her PhD in \u201cFiltration technologies for stormwater harvesting\u201d in 2008 from Monash University. She was a lecturer at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monash.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Monash University<\/a> from 2007 to 2017 before leaving academia to work as a Senior Environmental Scientist at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacobs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jacobs<\/a> from 2017 to 2019. Her present role leverages both her research and practice backgrounds to change current practices around stormwater management in a number of different ways even beyond the water sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Belinda is best known for her groundbreaking work on stormwater bioretention systems (or raingardens as they are also known), in particular, her contribution to the <a href=\"https:\/\/watersensitivecities.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Adoption_Guidelines_for_Stormwater_Biofiltration_Systems.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Adoption Guidelines<\/a> for Stormwater Biofiltration Systems in Australia.
