REALISE THE OPPORTUNITY

Choose, place, and learn about the many different harvesting and infiltration methods to make the most of stormwater.

*Pre-release. App is still under development.

Protect and restore

StormSmart promotes various improvements utilised in urban areas to achieve harvesting and infiltration targets needed to become closer to a water sensitive city. The Healthy Waterways Strategy has a performance objective to harvest 80GL of stormwater and infiltrate another 20GL each year. Meeting these targets is essential in protecting and restoring our waterways, reducing the immense runoff during large storm events, and preserving soil moisture for dry conditions.

CREATE A FLOW

Choose between residential and industrial scenarios and discover their unique requirements. Implement various types of assets and adjust their scale to meet harvesting and infiltration goals while working within a budget to optimise your treatment flow.

“ Our team set out to encourage strategies of smart design for developing suburbs in an engaging way that leaves a lasting impression on users. We split the app up into 2 scenarios to show the strategic differences between stormwater effects on a home and a public urban setting. This reflects our 2 target audiences: community members and developers. Manipulation of asset variables – such as size – is an important aspect of actual treatment systems. We added a feature allowing users to do so within a budget, prompting them to consider their actions and solve a real-world problem.”
