How P2R Projector works

The P2R Projector is driven by the modelling approach developed by the Australian and Queensland Government’s Paddock to Reef Integrated Monitoring, Modelling and Reporting Program. The underlying modelling approaches are different for each industry (see below).

For each project created in the P2R Projector, the sediment and nutrient loads are estimated for both the current and proposed management practices (after changes are implemented). The difference represents the water quality improvement from the proposed project.  Pollutant load estimates are based on the underlying mapped soil type (linked to the best availabale match from the 5-6 modelled soil types), climatic conditions and the management practices before and after the project is implemented (see the Great Barrier Reef Report Card – Management Practice Methods).
