requirements in urban hydrology. It
discusses practice 1n Australia, the
U.S.A., France and the U.K. Mostly the
rational method is used - only the U.K.
has a more advanced method in that dev-
ised by the Road Research Laboratory.
Australia has liB station years of
urban records for Brisbane, Sydney,
Canberra and Melbourne but only 25 per-
cent are usable so there can be no re-
liable tests of any theoretical method.
The report recommends that a deter-
ministic mathematical model should be
developed for Australian urban catch-
ments, si~ cities should begin schemes
of hydrometry to, obtain verification
data and that an Australian urban hy-
drology manual should be compiled.

This paper dicusses methods of flood
estimation for urban and rural catch-
ments in Australia. Existing proce-
dures described in Australian Rainfall
and Runoff are briefly reviewed and
.ore recent developments are outlined
Bnd suggestions are made for their ,p-
plication.

A comprehensive report dealt- with urban
hydrology in Australia. Existing
sources of urban rainfall-runoff data
in Australia were examined in consider-
able detail. Specific basins were eX-
amined and the- kinds of available data
were discussed. The Rational Method,
the ~oad Research Laboratory Method,
the Modified Road Research Laboratory
Method, and Laurenson's Runoff Routing
Model were described and evaluated. An
earlier evaluation of 8 other mathemat-
ical simulation models was summarised
and these models compared.
Consideration was given to water quali-
ty aspects of urban drainage and the
types of quality data available.

A general review of problems associated
with catchment modeling in urban areas
is presented. The particular charaC-
teristics of Australian urban catch-
ments are discussed, and the appropri-

~~

ate eXisting models suggested for use
in relation to the various types of
problems encounted. Attention is drawn
to the deficiency in available data in
Australia, and in research efforts di-
rected towards determining accuracy re-
qui~ements for tbe models.

This assemblaqe of lectures, supple-
aented with case studies, discusses the
concepts of systems analysis and optim-
isation of the urban water cycle.
Sections J and II are designed to de-
velop an understanding of how the many
parts of the urban water system inter-
act and fit together. The systems ap-
proach and the role of models is dis-
cussed in Section III. A dls~ussion of
deterministic and stochastic models is
included in Section IV. Newly devel-
oped computer proqrams for forecasting
urban water demands are presented in
Section V. A water resources manage-
ment game that d~onstrates how and
where vater resources are allocated is
described in Section VI. Two widely
used tools in systems analysis, linear
and dynamic programming, are_ discussed
in Section VII. In Section VIII, the
needs for various types of urb~n water
