Future river exports of nutrients, plastics, and chemicals worldwide under climate-driven hydrological changes
Future climate-driven hydrological changes may strongly affect river exports of multiple pollutants to coastal waters. In large-scale water quality (WQ) models the effects are, however, associated with uncertainties that may differ in space and time but are hardly studied worldwide and for multiple pollutants simultaneously. Moreover, explicit ways to assess climate-driven uncertainties in large-scale multi-pollutant assessments are currently lim…
Modelling future coastal water pollution
Urbanisation is happening worldwide. In 2100, over 70% of the population is projected to live in highly urbanised areas. As a result, urban wastewater discharge may increase. This may add multiple pollutants to rivers and coastal waters. However, current knowledge on how urbanisation-related socio-economic developments affect coastal water pollution is limited. In this study, we analysed individual and combined impacts of wastewater treatment imp…
Microplastics in global rivers
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) call for implementing sustainable practices by 2030, but their effects on microplastic pollution over time are limited. Here, we aimed to understand better the effects of improved centralized‐sanitation and reduced production and consumption on point‐source inputs of microplastics into rivers from 2010 to 2100 with a 10‐year time step for 10,226 sub‐basins globally. We developed scenarios with sustainable prac…
Recent advancement in water quality indicators for eutrophication in global freshwater lakes
Eutrophication is a major global concern in lakes, caused by excessive nutrient loadings (nitrogen and phosphorus) from human activities and likely exacerbated by climate change. Present use of indicators to monitor and assess lake eutrophication is restricted to water quality constituents (e.g. total phosphorus, total nitrogen) and does not necessarily represent global environmental changes and the anthropogenic influences within the lake’s drai…
The future of the Black Sea
The population in the Black Sea region is expected to decline in the future. However, a better understanding of how river pollution is affected by declining trends in population and increasing trends in economic developments and urbanization is needed. This study aims to quantify future trends in point-source emissions of nutrients, microplastics, Cryptosporidium , and triclosan to 107 rivers draining into the Black Sea. We apply a multi-pollutan…
Water, society and pollution in an urbanizing world
A nexus modeling framework for assessing water scarcity solutions
The challenge to balance water and food objectives for sustainable development
Water pollution from food production
Food production is a source of various pollutants in aquatic systems. For example, nutrients are lost from fertilized fields, and pathogens from livestock production. Water pollution may impact society and nature. Large-scale water pollution assessments, however, often focus on single pollutants and not on multiple pollutants simultaneously. This study draws lessons from air pollution control for large-scale water quality assessments, where multi…
Modeling water quality in the Anthropocene
“Everything changes and nothing stands still” (Heraclitus). Here we review three major improvements to freshwater aquatic ecosystem models — and ecological models in general — as water quality scenario analysis tools towards a sustainable future. To tackle the rapid and deeply connected dynamics characteristic of the Anthropocene, we argue for the inclusion of eco-evolutionary, novel ecosystem and social-ecological dynamics. These dynamics arise …
Bridging global, basin and local-scale water quality modeling towards enhancing water quality management worldwide
Global WQ models need sufficient consideration of mechanistic understanding. • Multiscale WQ modeling facilitates more consistent water management across scales. • Process-based parsimonious models are proposed for global WQ model development. • Water management requires active collaboration among WQ modelers and policy-makers. Global water quality (WQ) modeling is an emerging field. In this article, we identify the missing linkages between globa…
Global multi-pollutant modelling of water quality
Assessing global water quality issues requires a multi-pollutant modelling approach. We discuss scientific challenges and future directions for such modeling. Multi-pollutant river models need to integrate information on sources of pollutants such as plastic debris, nutrients, chemicals, pathogens, their effects and possible solutions. In this paper, we first explain what we consider multi-pollutant modelling. Second, we discuss scientific challe…
Modeling phosphorus in rivers at the global scale
Model inter-comparison design for large-scale water quality models
Alarming nutrient pollution of Chinese rivers as a result of agricultural transitions
Transitions in Chinese agriculture resulted in industrial animal production systems, disconnected from crop production. We analyzed side-effects of these transitions on total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) and phosphorus (TDP) inputs to rivers. In 2000, when transitions were ongoing, 30%-70% of the manure was directly discharged to rivers (range for sub-basins). Before the transition (1970) this was only 5%. Meanwhile, animal numbers more than doubled.…
