Dan Rhodes is a Senior Water Engineer at Ocean Protect - and returns for his second appearance on the podcast, but his first since joining Ocean Protect. In this chat, Dan provides a few more insights from his previous career as a professional muso, before going deep on bioretention systems - one of the most widely used stormwater treatment assets within Australia and beyond. Dan gives his perspectives from auditing 500+ bioretention systems across Australia in the 'real world' - the high 'failure' rates, the causes of these failures, and how we can fundamentally do bioretention better.
