Models Of Erosion Processes And Suspended Sediment Loads In New Zealand
Models of erosion processes and suspended sediment loads in New Zealand
  • New Zealand has a unique landscape that is prone to many different types of erosion. These different types of erosion can be modelled using national and regional models, multi-process models, hybrid models, single-process or total load models.

    The dataset - What is it?

    Data is generally used at central and regional government level.

    Why it's important to a landowner?

    When deciding land use or land management sediment may be a deciding factor. Suspended sediment may not meet local regulations or the owners’ values.
