Integrating Modelling And Field-Based Analysis For Improving Catchment-Scale Pollutant Management: An Application Of The Catchmods Model In The Moruya River Catchment
نویسنده
چکیده
Water quality decline is a significant environmental issue in Australia and many other countries. Much emphasis has been placed on nutrient management especially for phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) in an attempt to reduce their loss to water bodies. Identifying nutrient sources and their transport potential can assist catchment managers to recognise critical nutrient sources and to devise management interventions for their control.

A Catchment-Scale Model of Road Erosion and Sediment Delivery
Unsealed roads and tracks are potentially significant sources of diffuse pollutants, particularly sediment. Identifying critical diffuse pollutant sources and their transport potential can greatly improve catchment-scale water quality management. This study describes the application and ongoing development of a road erosion and sediment transport model in the Moruya-Deua and Tuross River catchm...
متن کاملA Bayesian model decision support system: dryland salinity management application
Addressing environmental management problems at catchment scales requires an integrated modelling approach, in which key bio-physical and socio-economic drivers, processes and impacts are all considered. Development of Decision Support Systems (DSSs) for environmental management is rapidly progressing. This paper describes the integration of physical, ecological, and socio-economic components i...

Rivers have a complicated and various condition in the diverse environment, and various science such as Hydrology, geomorphology, hydraulic, ecology and engineering have it been discussed. River geomorphology with studying of river process and landforms, examination of river landscape evolution, can be playing an important role in identifying of river channel character and behavior. To order th...
متن کاملEvaluation and management of the impact of land use change on the nitrogen and phosphorus load delivered to surface waters: the export coefficient modelling approach
A manageable, relatively inexpensive model was constructed to predict the loss of nitrogen and phosphorus from a complex catchment to its drainage system. The model used an export coefficient approach, calculating the total nitrogen (N) and total phosphorus (P) load delivered annually to a water body as the sum of the individual loads exported from each nutrient source in its catchment. The exp...
متن کاملSensitivity Analysis of a Network-Based, Catchment- Scale Water-Quality Model
Careful consideration of the uncertainties and sensitivities associated with model outputs is essential when critical decisions are made on the basis of such results. Consideration of uncertainty is particularly important in the context of natural resource management, where models are often used to tackle complex and conflicting issues across multiple scales, as is the case in evaluating manage...
