Danube-Black Sea
Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia
Details
Description: MONERIS nutrient model was adapted to the Danube River Basin and became the de facto standard for estimating loads. Approach allowed historical estimates to be calculated providing options to establish baseline values in the absence of direct monitoring data.
Comments: Danube River Basin
Implementation start date:
2006-01-01
Implementation end date:
2007-12-31

Results
Annual tons of nitrogen reduced: N/A
Annual tons of phosphorous reduced: N/A
Other outcomes: Model is used thorughout the region, German and Baltic. The potential benefit to provide projects with a harmonised approach to estimating nutirnet loads and to review different management scenarios for nutrient reduction. Model does need extensive data sets (in particular land use and terrain data from remote monitoring)
Finance
Total GEF/WB investment: USD 0.1 million
