On 20 November 2013, the Institution of Engineers Australia awarded the Computer Aided River Management (CARM) project the Environmental Engineering Excellence Award. This prestigious award honours the top achievements in environmental engineering and the sustainable use of natural resources. The award was received by our client State Water Corporation of New South Wales.

Our software is the backbone of CARM – a Decision Support System (DSS) based on MIKE CUSTOMISED by DHI components. CARM gives State Water Corporation an insight into the current and forecasted state of the Murrumbidgee River. It utilises a suite of MIKE by DHI models to reproduce key catchment and river processes for the entire 1,600 km river system, and combines them with real-time measurements. This allows river operators to combine dam releases with natural tributary inflows to deliver the right amount of water when and where it is needed.
