Water Cycle Management Studies
Water Cycle Management Studies are a study that addresses the management of stormwater, wastewater, site and development specific pollutants or contaminants, and erosion and sediment control for a specific development proposal. In the context of the Sydney drinking water catchment the WCMS needs to show that the proposed development and management measures can achieve a NorBE. NorBE is an abbreviation for the Neutral or beneficial effect test on water quality.
