Integrated resource planning
Integrated Resource Planning | Sanitation Futures | International Water
The Institute is known nationally and internationally for its research that supports cost-effective, sustainable and adaptive water cycle management solutions to the challenges presented by drought, rising urban populations, and environmental flow demands. Our highly skilled team has worked on innovative projects in most Australian states and internationally. Our total water cycle management approach considers water supply, sanitation and stormwater systems as a holistic system.
We develop and review water resource policy that integrates demand and supply side options to deliver improved reliability, efficiency and cost-effectiveness. We scope, design, implement and review demand management programs that ensure water supply for the community whilst reducing asset outlays, saving money and reducing our impact upon the environment. We undertake integrated resource planning based on detailed demand forecasting using end-use modeling and a holistic and balanced assessment of both demand and supply options.
