Description
MUSIC (Model for Urban Stormwater Improvement Conceptualisation)
MUSIC is a user-friendly tool designed to meet the needs of urban stormwater engineers, planners, policy staff and managers in consultancies and state, regional and local government agencies.
MUSIC captures the latest scientific understanding of stormwater pollutant generation and treatment. The overall approach adopted in developing MUSIC has been to balance the need for accurate process descriptions with the need to provide a user-friendly tool.
Legislative provisions at national, State and local levels now require the pursuit of “best-practice stormwater management” across this range of objectives. Consequently, stormwater managers need to be able to predict and evaluate:
(a) the quality of urban stormwater from catchments of varying land use and characteristics,
(b) the performance of alternative stormwater management scenarios, in terms of water quality improvement, flow attenuation, and lifecycle costs, and
(c) ecosystem responses to alternative stormwater management scenarios.
