eWater Innovation, part of eWater CRC, has launched its Stormwater Quality Management tool, music, into the UK market.

music (model for urban stormwater improvement conceptualisation) simulates real-time water sensitive design. It is designed to help urban stormwater professionals evaluate strategies to tackle urban stormwater flows and pollution impacts.

The software, first developed in 2001, is used by professionals throughout Australia to help reduce pollution in streams, rivers, and receiving waters throughout Australia.

A grant from Commercialisation Australia helped the Australian water software company tailor the tool to suit UK conditions.

“Australia is a world leader in storm water quality management and music can assist other countries in making big improvements in stormwater quality by applying better treatment methods, setting achievable pollutant reduction targets and building in country capability,” eWater Innovation CEO Tim Blackman said.

eWater Innovation has partnered with UK Water Engineering company Jeremy Benn and Associates to market, sell and improve the product for the UK.
