eWater Cooperative Research Centre
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is a research node of the eWater Cooperative Research Centre. Other research nodes include Monash University, Griffith University, The University of Adelaide, The University of Newcastle, The University of Queensland, University of Canberra and CSIRO.
The central goal of the eWater CRC is to deliver to resource managers the capability to assess the impacts of catchment, water resource, and waterway management decisions on water systems and the environment. To achieve this, the eWater CRC has an integrated research and development program that is developing a range of products for the water industry.
This will provide powerful capability to catchment and water resource managers, helping them to evaluate the short-term and long-term outcomes of policy decisions at regional scales, focus management and operational activities efficiently, and assist with interpreting monitoring information and target setting.
To meet its objectives, the eWater CRC has a portfolio of multi-disciplinary research programs.
