Stormwater management philosophy in most developed countries has evolved from flood mitigation paradigm to runoff quality control approach, now progressing towards the harvesting and reuse concept, while retaining the previous two targets. Stormwater harvesting is one of the essential components of integrated water management that provides an alternative non-potable water source while reducing the impact of stormwater generated pollution.

We invest our expertise in the development of stormwater harvesting policy and best practice:

• Best Practice Guidelines for design, operation and maintenance of stormwater diversion structures
• 'Road Map' report on independent verification of performance for stormwater treatment devices
• Capturing the Potential of Stormwater article

IV Water has been actively involved in design, delivery, performance assessment and operation optimization of multiple currently operational stormwater harvesting schemes including:

• Melbourne Royal Botanic Gardens
• Melbourne and Olympic Parks
• Fitzroy Gardens
• Royal Melbourne Golf Course
• Warrawee Park Reserve
• Chelsworth Park Banyule Stormwater Harvesting Project
• Kalparrin Gardens Banyule Stormwater Harvesting Project
