About this report

This report was commissioned by the Technical Leaders Group for the Healthy Rivers Wai Ora Project Report No. HR/TLG/2016-2017/4.5

This report outlines the key assumptions that have been made to replicate the policy mix, discusses model output associated with a range of explorative scenarios and sensitivity analysis performed with respect to key input data, and then draw conclusions based on these results. Some material is also included that outlines the relationship between policy enactment, the adoption of various actions, and how long it may take for concomitant water-quality improvement to be observed
