This workshop will give an overview of available catchment models to quantify the impact of land management practices on flow and water quality. The main focus of the workshops will be on the application of two widely used models, INCA and SWAT. Formal presentations involving students will be given. These presentations will be followed by discussions on the key issues faced in catchment management and how catchment models could be utilized.

This joint LERNZ-DOC 1-day workshop will bring together a range of organisations involved in invasive fish management and research. It will address organisational roles in management and incursion response, present recent research findings on the efficacy of different control methods as well as ecological changes associated with introduced fish species, and describe some human dimensions associated with coarse fish management and spread. Each session will be followed by a facilitated discussion to address key questions arising from the presentations.
