In this short video (less than 3 minutes), Dale Browne, Senior Environmental Engineer, E2Designlab, gives a quick overview of:

what is MUSIC Auditor?
who has it been developed for?
how will MUSIC Auditor help to save practitioners time and deliver better quality control in modelling?

The Model for urban stormwater improvement conceptualisation (MUSIC) Auditor assesses a MUSIC model against relevant criteria as specified in the South Australian MUSIC Guidelines. MUSIC Auditor identifies any MUSIC model input parameters that do not comply with the guidelines or parameters that are outside common or expected ranges. The Auditor provides a summary report identifying any areas of non-compliance and further commentary to assist both consultants in revising their model or assessing authorities to make a decision whether or not to accept any non-compliance.

Join Dr Dale Browne, Senior Environmental Engineer, E2Designlab for this online training.
