MUSIC is eWater's popular model for stormwater planning.

The latest version, music v4, now available, is a significant upgrade. music v4 adds numerous updates and improvements, including new capability for planning biofiltration and reuse, and more flexible reporting than was offered in version 3.

Read about it here, or, along with other aspects of water-sensitive urban design, in H2O.thinking magazine, spring 2009.

eWater has new urban tools currently in development for integrated urban water management (IUWM):

• Urban cluster-scale model 'Urban Developer',
• Urban regional-scale model,
• Urban information-support system.

They simulate, concurrently, the water-supply, stormwater, wastewater and groundwater components of the water cycle, and will, in the future, be coupled to ecological response models of waterways.

The tools support water-sensitive urban design (WSUD) in suburbs and cities or regions, and they allow users to evaluate various water management options in the light of changing climate and demand.

At present these tools (working titles only) are prototypes or beta products. They are being further developed and refined through eWater's current research and through application trials (road-tests) in focus catchments to help solve real-world issues..

These tools, like existing tools in the eWaterToolkit, have been designed to suit the needs of a range of eWater's water-industry partners.
