Pollution due to urbanization and agriculture
Model characteristics
- Model name: MARINA-Multi
- Version: Global-4.0
- Application: Global
- Scales: sub-basins and annual
- Period: 2010-2100
- Pollutants: nitrogen, phosphorus, triclosan, microplastics, macroplastics and diclofenac
- Sources: diffuse sources (agricultural runoff) and point sources (sewage systems, open defecation, direct discharges of manure)
- Main inputs: livestock numbers, manure excretion rates, land use, crop production, sewage connections, removal efficiencies, water consumption, hydrology
- Main outputs: river export of multiple pollutants by source and sub-basin
