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.
