Abstract

The Waikato Prioritisation Framework (WPF) comprises a series of components and geospatial processes that collectively are used to simplify the use of data from multiple models.

This tool can be applied to a region or sub-catchment to show locations with high to low risk for soil conservation, water quality, or biodiversity factors. The methods employed are flexible enough to allow adjustments to be made spatially (for example by catchment management zone) or temporally (as improved input data becomes available) while retaining a consistent geospatial approach.
