Research Institutions
The following research institutions undertake research that will inform and assist the transition from conventional to more sustainable forms of urban water management. The websites contain various details of the research activities and numerous publications, including research results and advice for industry.
Cooperative Research Centre for Catchment Hydrology
The aim of the Cooperative Research Centre for Catchment Hydrology was to produce a decision support system able to predict the movement of water, particulates, and solutes from land to rivers, linking the impact of climate variability, vegetation, soil, and water management together in an integrated package. The website is an archive of the projects and outputs from the Cooperative Research Centre for Catchment Hydrology during 1992-2005. The CRC for Catchment Hydrology's successor is the eWater CRC.
eWater CRC
eWater’s core business is building water management tools for partners and bringing those tools to Australian and international markets.
Facility for Advancing Water Biofiltration
The aim of the Facility of Advancing Water Biofiltration (FAWB) is to provide proof of concept of biofilter technologies for managing urban water by developing and field-testing a range of biofilter systems.
National Urban Water Governance Program
The National Urban Water Governance Program is comprised of a group of social research projects that are investigating the changing governance of traditional urban water management in Australia.
