Area of Science:

  • Hydrology
  • Environmental Modeling
  • Nutrient Cycling

Background:

  • The HBV-N model is a dynamic catchment model used for hydrological simulations.
  • Nutrient transport, particularly phosphorus, is a critical component of water quality management.
  • Understanding model sensitivity to input data is crucial for accurate environmental assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance the HBV-N model by incorporating phosphorus transport routines, creating the HBV-NP model.
  • To evaluate the simulation performance of the HBV-NP model for nutrient dynamics in the Rönneå catchment.
  • To assess the sensitivity of the HBV-NP model to various input data scales and sources.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the HBV-NP model with added phosphorus transport routines.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Application and validation of the HBV-NP model in the Rönneå catchment (1,900 km2).
  • Sensitivity analysis of the model concerning input data resolution (catchment vs. subcatchment) and data sources (databases, emissions).

    • Main Results:

    • The HBV-NP model satisfactorily simulated nutrient dynamics at the catchment scale.
    • Model sensitivity to input data selection increased significantly at the subcatchment scale compared to the catchment scale.
    • Generalization of emission data negatively impacted subcatchment model performance, while detailed local data improved it.
    • Subcatchment delineation (64 subcatchments) showed comparable performance to a lumped approach at the catchment outlet.
    • Adjustments to nitrogen leaching matrices against water percolation did not significantly affect model performance.

    Conclusions:

    • The HBV-NP model is a capable tool for simulating nutrient dynamics in catchments.
    • Spatial resolution of input data, particularly soil, land use, and emission data, is critical for accurate subcatchment-scale modeling.
    • A balance between data detail and model complexity is necessary for effective catchment management.
