Abstract
In the context of this chapter, an ‘urban model’ can be defined as a conceptual or computer-based modelling system that performs hydrologic, hydraulic, water balance, or water quality calculations, across a catchment significantly disturbed by urban development and associated infrastructure. This modelling system may operate across all the significant scales of urban areas from allotment to neighbourhood to precinct to region. Urban infrastructure of most direct relevance includes increased impervious surfaces, modification to natural conveyance areas (e.g. pits, pipes, and open channels), and volume management infrastructure (e.g. rainwater tanks, bioretention, and basins).
