โœฆ Synopsis

Abstract

Human activity has resulted in increased nutrient levels in rivers and coastal seas all over Europe. Models that can describe nutrient fluxes from pollution sources to river outlets may help policy makers to select the most effective source control measures to achieve a reduction of nutrient levels in rivers and coastal seas. Part I of this paper describes the development of such a model: PolFlow. PolFlow was specially designed for operation at the river basin scale and is here applied to model 5โ€year average nitrogen and phosphorus fluxes in two European river basins (Rhine and Elbe) covering the period 1970โ€“1995. Part II reports an error analysis and model evaluation, and compares PolFlow to simpler alternative models. Copyright ยฉ 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
