Used by Local Government, catchment managers, and the urban development industry to manage stormwater, eWater MUSIC is a software tool that simulates the behaviour of stormwater in urban catchments and helps to understand the performance of stormwater quality treatment systems.
Grounded in decades of Australian research, eWater MUSIC offers simple and tailored workflow to make the design and analysis of water sensitive urban design (WSUD) systems to meet water quality requirements easy.
eWater Solutions supports the use of MUSIC through training, sales and user support services, maintenance, and enhancement of the software by our team of developers and hydrologists.
Why use eWater MUSIC?
eWater MUSIC can model a wide range of treatment devices to identify the best way to capture and reuse stormwater runoff, remove its contaminants, as well as reduce runoff frequency.
Our trademarked software tool can:
- simulate urban stormwater systems from the individual lot to suburb scale
- estimate the potential for stormwater harvesting and reuse and understand the effects on downstream flows and water quality
- model pollutants, including suspended solids, total phosphorus, and total nitrogen
- compare the water-quantity, quality, and cost/benefit objectives of different treatment options, such as swales, bio-retention system, rainwater tanks, wetlands
- design urban development proposals that achieve WUD and integrated water cycle management (IWCM) goals.
Through eWater MUSIC you can compare alternative designs and confidently decide on those that give the best outcomes —hydrology and receiving-water quality.
All development projects are different; designers need to test a range of options that meets these standards but also fits within the overall development design, for example, available space, soil type, slope or building type. eWater MUSIC can do this for you. It allows designers to test different combinations of treatment options, to find the one that meets the required standards and fits within the project brief.
The suite of stormwater treatment options that meet your needs include:
- Bioretention systems
- Infiltration systems
- Media filtration systems
- Gross pollutant traps
- Buffer strips
- Rainwater tanks
- Wetlands
- Detention basin
- Generic treatment nodes
eWater MUSIC remains Australia’s leading tool for water sensitive urban design and delivers a holistic water management package.
Who uses eWater MUSIC?
This incredible software tool is used throughout Australia, including over 120 local governments, catchment management authorities, urban water managers, and hundreds of engineering and development businesses.
We are also proud to work with 14 Australian universities which use eWater MUSIC.
We are providing the next generation of urban planners, water engineers and urban development professionals with the skills to sustainably manage our precious waterways.
University of Adelaide, Charles Darwin University, Monash University, Southern Cross University, RMIT University, University of South Australia, Central Queensland University, Griffith University, Swinburne University of Technology, University of Western Sydney, La Trobe University, Queensland University of Technology and University of Western Sydney city campus all use eWater MUSIC.
eWater MUSICX Source Plugin
eWater MUSICX Source Plugin allows the user to combine their urban water quality models with eWater Source, Australia’s National Hydrological Modelling Platform, allowing the integration of urban water quality, catchment, and river system models.
Combined with our eWater Source Urban Developer plugin, eWater MUSICX offers you the opportunity to analyse urban water demand, urban water quality, and water supply in one model. This offers an integrated water resource management platform for all your needs.
