Abstract: Continuous simulation modelling (CSM) of stormwater pollutants/runoff is widely used in WSUD / Rainwater Reuse/ Integrated Water Management (IWM) / Land development / environmental improvement and infrastructure development and so on. A crucial step in this process is verification & auditing of simulation models and associated reports. The models can be generated by software tools such John Connor Online, SU Calculator, MUSIC 6, MUSIC X and come in a variety of file types. Reports are generated from models. Currently, consultants & authorities face multiple challenges verifying & creating models including difficulty converting models into readable formats, knowledge gaps in parameters that must be checked, time-consuming verification process and lack of automation. Auditor of MUSIC (AOM) is an Australia-wide online software tool specifically designed to address the challenges above and features automatic checking of each model parameter in accordance with local modelling guidelines. AOM automatically generates reports from the submitted models. This ensures quality submissions and assessments for applications
