Background:

The Korean Total Maximum Daily Load Act requires better quantification of nutrient losses from diffuse sources at a river basin scale.
Existing water quality models face uncertainty in boundary conditions, particularly in data-rich and data-poor basins.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and evaluate a nonlinear regression model (NRM) for analyzing nutrient delivery and retention coefficients.
To reduce uncertainty in estimating nutrient loads and sources in river basins.

Main Methods:

Proposed a nonlinear regression model (NRM) to analyze surface water delivery and pollutant retention coefficients.
Incorporated watershed form ratio (S(f)) and a basin-wide retention coefficient (phi) into the NRM.

Applied the NRM within the QUAL2E water quality model simulation on the Geum River basin in South Korea.

Main Results:

The NRM effectively reduces uncertainty in the boundary conditions of water quality models.
Demonstrated the NRM's applicability in both data-rich and data-poor drainage basins.
Provided a method to better understand nutrient delivery and retention dynamics.

Conclusions:

The nonlinear regression model (NRM) is a viable tool for quantifying nutrient losses from diffuse sources.
The NRM enhances the accuracy of water quality modeling for river basin management.
This approach aids in identifying and managing nutrient loads in complex watershed systems.
