MUSIC is a quick, leading platform and personalized workflow from Australia, making it easy to develop and evaluate Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) structures and follow best practices. This tool is used in Australia by environmental architects, planners, local authority engineers and planning approval authorities to manage the effect of urban development and other improvements in land use on water resources. In Australia, MUSIC has been mandated by several city councils and states to design large-scale economic construction. To find the safest way to catch and manage stormwater runoff, eliminate its pollutants and reduce runoff frequency, MUSIC is the best tool available to model it. These processes will be tested and help meet WSUD's integrated water cycle management (IWCM) targets with the use of the MUSIC platform.
Development of Multifunctional Urban Land uses using Water Sensitive Urban Design
Published in Steffen Lehmann, Robert Crocker, Designing for Zero Waste, 2013
The term water-sensitive urban design first appeared in various Australian publications exploring concepts and possible structural and non-structural practices in relation to urban-water-resource management during the early 1990s. Comparable design philosophies, such as sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS), were simultaneously developing in Europe and the United States. SUDS is now generally referred to as SuDS to reflect the wider application of sustainable drainage systems. In the USA and Japan, SuDS is known as low-impact urban design (LIUD), or simply low-impact development (LID). WSUD, LID and SuDS embrace the concept of integrated land and water management and, in particular, integrated urban-water-cycle management. This includes the harvesting and/or treatment of storm-water and wastewater to supplement (normally non-potable) water supplies. More generally, WSUD focuses on the interaction between the urban built form and the natural water cycle.

Water analytics is an analytics platform for smart water cycle management. The platform captures information from IoT water network devices to turn it into knowledge and business intelligence, using technologies such as big data, cloud computing, ML, and AI.
Management of urban waterways in Melbourne, Australia: 1. current status

Certainly, keeping water in the landscape will be increasingly important given the increased and prolonged periods of heat expected due to climate change, but to achieve this will require that trade-offs are made between the cost to keep the stormwater out of waterways and in the catchment and the community well-being benefits of achieving this (Walsh et al., 2016 a,b). Further, the implementation of Integrated Water Cycle Management in urban developments, where stormwater is regarded as a valuable resource and is more efficiently utilised within the catchment, and possibly even utilised for indirect potable reuse after adequate treatment, will be essential (Coombes 2018). The Victorian Government has developed an Integrated Water Management Framework for Victoria, which aims to help government, the water sector and the community work together to better plan, manage and deliver water in Victoria’s towns and cities (DELWP 2017).
