Enhancing Overseer for Effective Water Quality Limit Management

The project aims to improve the application of the Overseer tool in setting and managing water quality limits. Key goals include ensuring Overseer is used appropriately, increasing understanding of its limitations, fostering partnerships among stakeholders, and reducing uncertainties. Milestones span from requirement gathering to ongoing communication with regional councils. Key questions focus on Overseer's role in compliance estimation, managing uncertainty, and the approach to version updates. This initiative seeks to streamline the use of Overseer and ensure effective water management practices.

  6. Key Questions • What is the place of Overseer in setting and managing to limits? • Are Overseer estimates good enough to estimate compliance with a property based nutrient discharge limit? • How should Overseer uncertainty be accounted for in rules? • How should version updates of Overseer be managed? :
