- 3.4.2.3. Diffuse nutrient pollution in the Danube River Basin District

Since comparable data on diffuse nutrient pollution are not available on the basin-wide scale (see also Chapter 1.3), the analysis of the diffuse nutrient pollution was undertaken by applying the model MONERIS (MOdelling Nutrient Emissions into RIver Systems). This model was developed for the estimation of the nutrient emissions in German river systems and has recently been applied for the total basin of the Danube. A detailed description of the model, and the results for the Danube for the time period 1998 to 2000, is presented.. (4.4.2.4. Diffuse nutrient pollution in the Danube River Basin District - p.66)
