MitAgator

Built on a detailed farm map, MitAgator’s software gives a spatial view of where contaminant losses are occurring and identifies critical source areas (CSAs). Targeting mitigation actions to CSAs is six to seven times more cost-effective than an untargeted approach. MitAgator allows mitigation scenarios to be validated and targeted more precisely, improving their cost-effectiveness.

The algorithms driving this tool came from the MBIE programme Clean Water, Productive Land, led by Our Land and Water chief scientist Prof Rich McDowell from 2010 to 2016, and from 2016 from research funded or co-funded by Our Land and Water.
