Coming Soon

This page highlights the additional resources that will be available soon from this site.

We will be releasing fact sheets and research papers on the following topics:

  • Elements of water sensitive urban design (WSUD) and integrated water cycle management (IWCM)  –  updates on our original fact sheets that were widely distributed by Hunter Councils and new additions
  • Key processes and components of the Systems Framework
  • The latest PURRS continuous simulation model that includes internal and external water quality, relative health risks, energy, economics, and soil profile and vegetation processes
  • Systems economics methods
  • Systems energy processes
  • Behavioural water demands that allow spatial and temporal variations
  • behaviour of selected capital cities

We also expect to release the latest version of the PURRS software and hold workshops on Local Scale analysis and Systems Frameworks in the near future
