https://shiny.niwa.co.nz/eflowsexplorer/ is a web app designed to aid understanding of how minimum flow and total allocation can be set, by demonstrating how they interact with reliability of water supply and an example environmental metrics representing losses in total area of aquatic habitat or availability of habitat suitable for fish.
https://shiny.niwa.co.nz/nzrivermaps/ is a web app designed to display various spatial predictions across New Zealand’s national river network.
