'Catchment Scale Modelling of Runoff, Sediment and Nutrient Loads for the South-East Queensland EMSS' by Francis Chiew, Philip Scanlon, Rob Vertessy and Fred Watson - CRC Report 02/1
This report describes the lumped conceptual catchment scale model used in the Environmental Management Support System (EMSS) to estimate daily runoff and daily pollutant load from 175 catchments in the south-east Queensland region. The model has two components
a hydrologic model and a pollutant export load model. The input climate data into the model are daily rainfall and mean monthly areal potential evapotranspiration and the main model outputs are total daily runoff and total daily pollutant loads (total suspended solids, total phosphorus and total nitrogen). There are seven parameters in the hydrologic model and two parameters in the pollutant export load model.
The report also describes the estimation of parameters for the hydrologic and pollutant load models using local data.
