CRC for Catchment Hydrology Wins Award for Excellence in Technology Transfer

May 29, 2001

The CRC for Catchment Hydrology, in conjunction with Melbourne Water, The Urban Land Corporation, and Brisbane City Council has won an Award for Excellence in Technology Transfer at the CRC Association Conference in Perth earlier this month.

The awards are given to CRCs that can demonstrate that their research is innovative, has arisen from the CRC Program, has been applied or commercialised with significant benefits to Australia, and has strong end-user support.

Our application described the exciting application of the Urban Stormwater Program research on Water Sensitive Urban Design. Congratulations to Tony Wong and the team for the impressive work upon which this award is based.

It is the second time in three years that the CRC has been presented with this award. In 1999, the Tarago catchment research by the CRC and Melbourne Water on sediment sources was a successful recipient in the inaugural year.
