eWater workshops

eWater Cooperative Research Centre is a technology development initiative set up by the Australia's water resource management and research sector through the Australian Government’s CRC Program.

eWater’s core business is building water management tools and bringing these tools to Australian and international markets. All our products (except one MUSIC, which has a nominal licence fee) are available free to use.

MUSIC Model for Urban Stormwater Improvement Conceptualisationis utilised by urban stormwater engineers, landscape architects, environmental scientists, planners and managers in consultancies and state, regional and local government agencies to predict and evaluate:

· the quality of urban stormwater from catchments of varying land use and characteristics;

· the performance of alternative stormwater management scenarios, in terms of water quality improvement, flow attenuation, and lifecycle costs; and

· ecosystem responses to alternative stormwater management scenarios.

Essentially, MUSIC is utilised to help design stormwater quality improvements within a development (existing or retrofitted).

As Western Australia has a history of WSUD we are bringing the MUSIC Training Workshop to Perth end November. MUSIC is utilised extensively in the eastern states of Australia and was developed from Australian research. This is the first time this training will be offered in WA.
