CRC for Water Sensitive Cities

“The CRC for Water Sensitive Cities brings together the inter-disciplinary research expertise and thought-leadership to undertake research that will revolutionise water management in Australia and overseas.  In collaboration with over 80 research, industry and government partners, we deliver the socio-technical urban water management solutions, education and training programs, and industry engagement required to make towns and cities water sensitive.  With a research budget in excess of AUD $100 million, our research is guiding capital investments of more than $100 billion by the Australian water sector and more than AUD $550 billion of private sector investment in urban development.” -  http://watersensitivecities.org.au/about-the-crc/
