- Description
- This paper details and evaluates the application and performance of the urbanCycle integrated urban water cycle modelling framework, developed at the University of Newcastle, was used to develop a model of the Kotara Roof to Creek Project catchment, located in Newcastle NSW. The Kotara Roof to Creek Project is being jointly conducted by Newcastle City Council, Hunter Water Corporation, The University of Newcastle, and the (former) NSW EPA Stormwater Trust. A primary aim of the project was to develop a suburban scale demonstrations site for implementation of Integrated Urban Water Cycle Management (IUWCM)techniques, within an established urban area. Additionally the project was developed in an attempt to address the environmental impacts downstream of the Kotara catchment. The evaluation of the urbanCycle model focuses on its ability to capture and represent the underlying hydrology of the catchment and explores the relationship between this and the model's performance and capabilities in predicting the impacts of the introduction of a simple IUWCM strategy, The insights and comparisons available through the application of continuous simulation are also examined and compared and contrasted against those of design even modelling and recommendations on the application of the model are made.
