Project Description

This proposal builds upon the research between CSIRO Land and Water and Korea Institute of Civil engineering and Building Technology (KICT). Our institutions share several parallel research activities that focus around water sensitive urban design, green infrastructure, managed aquifer recharge, low impact development and reuse of urban stormwater. The project will develop innovative options for urban water cycle management using the CSIRO Urban Living Lab development at Ginninderra, ACT as a case study site. A series of workshops will be held for scientific exchange and to allow technology transfer between Korea and Australia.
