Scenario Builder for Rivers

You can use the Scenario Builder for Rivers WebApp to:

  • visualise the current state of water quality (E. coli, nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations and estimated periphyton biomass) at over 900 river monitoring sites across New Zealand.
  • assess the “reference” water quality conditions at the site
  • see the composition of land use in the catchment and the estimated relative contribution of different land uses in the catchment to contaminant loads
  • model catchment management scenarios of land mitigation or land use change (or combinations of both) to predict how reducing contaminant losses from existing land use and/or changing land use within the catchment will affect the water quality in the river.
