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
