The Program aims at harnessing the potential of storm water to overcome water shortages, reduce urban temperatures, and improve waterways health and the landscape of Australian cities.
In collaboration with 70 partners, the CRC for Water Sensitive Cities will be established in July 2012 with research nodes at Monash University, the University of Western Australia, the University of Queensland and in Singapore.
This Program aims to develop and test a range of new technologies for managing urban water systems, with a particular focus on urban stormwater management.
This Program seeks to bridge the policy-implementation gap through research in urban water management, by providing a reliable knowledge base on the governance of urban water.
