| Zusammenfassung |
| Diffuse phosphorus (P) losses are the main cause for eutrophication of
surface waters in many regions. Implementing mitigation measures on critical
source areas (CSAs) is seen to be the most effective way to reduce P losses.
Thus, tools are needed that delineate CSAs on the basis of available data. We
compared three models based on different approaches and sets of input data:
the rainfall-runoff-phosphorus (RRP) model, the dominant runoff processes
(DoRP) model, and the Sensitive Catchment Integrated Modeling Analysis
Platform (SCIMAP). The RRP model is a parsimonious dynamic model using the
topographic index and a binary soil classification to simulate discharge and
P losses. The DoRP model distinguishes eight soil classes based on soil and
geological maps. It does not account for topography when calculating runoff.
SCIMAP assesses runoff risks solely on the basis of topography using the
network index. Compared to surface runoff and soil moisture data available
from a catchment in Switzerland, the RRP model and SCIMAP made better
predictions than the DoRP model, suggesting that in our study area topography
was more important for CSA delineation than soil data. Based on the results,
we suggest improvements of SCIMAP to enable average risk predictions and the
comparison of risk predictions between catchments. |
