Environmental management

This environmental eanagement module helps users to continually improve NRM through adaptive management. The main feature is an Environmental Management Framework which incorporates the National Water Quality Management Strategy (NWQMS), and follows the format of the NWQMS Water Quality Management Framework. However, the design is flexible in that it accommodates users of other NRM frameworks, including any of those under the banners of the National Action Plan and National Heritage Trust.
