Scott Wilkinson and Chris Kennedy from CSIRO Land & Water developed a modelling tool to assess spatial patterns in the sediment sources and sediment transport at the river basin regional scale. SedNet has enabled Catchment Management Authorities to target areas for riparian restoration, measures to reduce bank erosion or general catchment management activities to reduce soil erosion in order to address the source of erosion and sediment problems.
