The report's objectives are to:
1. Estimate the catchment loads of sediment, nutrients and metals to Darwin Harbour from diffuse sources.
2. Evaluate the inter-annual variability of these loads.
3. Compare diffuse source loads with point source loads.
4. Estimate the impact of further catchment development and increased population on annual loads to Darwin Harbour based on a 'business as usual' approach.,
