There are two ways of running AUSRIVAS. You can work off-line, where the program does not access the Internet, or you can run AUSRIVAS over the Internet.

AUSRIVAS needs to access the Internet in order to

•Run a model;

•Access information about models, such as required predictor variables and model bands.

If you run the AUSRIVAS Macroinvertebrate Predictive Modelling Software without an Internet connection, you can:

•Load and view previously saved data.
