Dr Wendy Timms

Dr Wendy Timms is a Senior Project Engineer at the Water Research Laboratory where she has worked in various roles since 1998. Wendy has a BSc in Geology, Hydrology and Chemistry and a PhD in Environmental Engineering, and has since worked in research, government, and consulting in Australia and Canada. She has managed and undertaken several investigation projects using desktop, field methods and numerical modelling (see CV for full details).

Her primary fields of interest are related to water flow below the ground, water quality, stormwater harvesting for managed aquifer recharge; and geochemical interactions with aquitards and sediments.

While Wendy’s work is focused on groundwater systems, her practical experience deals with many aspects of integrated water management in both urban and rural areas, including subsurface intakes for desalination, water treatment and management of wastes to prevent subsurface contamination. Wendy currently serves the International Association of Hydrogeologists-NSW branch and provides independent scientific reviews.
