Development of the Land and Water Regional Plan (LWRP) requires the science team to develop a range of management scenarios to improve water quality across the Otago region. The purpose of these scenarios is to estimate the possible improvements in water quality that are achievable for a given set of interventions. The scenario modelling will be used by the ORC Policy Team to highlight the scale of intervention required to give effect to the National Policy Statement on Freshwater Management and as a tool to guide proposed LWRP management options and rules.
