Holistic water quality models to support decision-making in lowland catchments with competing stakeholder perspectives are still limited. To address this gap, an integrated system dynamics model for quantity and (including stream temperature, dissolved oxygen, macronutrients) was developed. Adaptable plug-n-play modules handle the complexity (sources, pathways) related both urban agricultural/natural land-use features. The applied a data-rich catchment uncover key insights into governing peri-urban stream. Performance indicators demonstrate successfully captured quantity/quality variations interactions (with, e.g., Nash-Sutcliff Efficiency ranging from very good satisfactory). Model simulation sensitivity results could then highlight influence of temperature enhanced heterotrophic respiration summer, causing low oxygen levels potentially affecting ecological quality. Probabilistic uncertainty combined rich dataset show high potential ammonium uptake macrophyte-dominated reach. further suggest phosphorus remobilization streambed sediment become important diffuse nutrient source should other sources (e.g., effluents) be mitigated. These findings especially design green transition solutions, where single-objective management strategies may negatively impact aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract The 21st century has brought new challenges and opportunities also increased demands on the Nordic hydrological community. Our science focus approaches need rethinking adaptation to changing requirements of society in response climate change human interventions, search more comprehensive cross-disciplinary solutions. This commentary highlights possibilities suggests vital steps forward for scientific discipline within research. By providing a common direction, we hope increase awareness, accelerate progress community, emphasize importance knowledge serving other fields at large. We that our vision identify will raise awareness assist long-term development frontier century.

Reference conditions of water bodies are defined as the natural or minimal anthropogenically disturbed state. We compared methods for determining total phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations in rivers Finland, Norway Sweden well established reference evaluated possibility transfer harmonisation methods. found that both values differed, especially lowland with a high proportion agriculture catchment. Since Denmark has not yet set rivers, two Nordic were tested Danish conditions. conclude some promising but further development is required. moreover argue needed to obtain common benchmarks assessing impacts current future land use changes on quality.
