The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) of Victoria, Australia, needed to identify areas at a high risk of phosphorus overloading. Using NEXSYS, a computer program, phosphorus export values can be predicted. With these values, an analysis of Victoria was done, and a risk map was developed. A user's guide was made to explain the indicated risk areas. The map and guide will aid experts in improving high risk areas and serve as an educational tool for the public.
