ABSTRACT
This paper shows the results from nutrient emission calculations from five river catchments with altogether 26 subcatchments within the Danube Basin. The paper compares the emissions via different pathways in the different subcatchments to each other and discusses the applicability of MONERIS emission model under the specific conditions in the Danube Basin. As an overall result it can be shown that MONERIS is a very useful tool for assessment of nutrient emissions in river catchments especially on a large scale. While for nitrogen the accuracy of results is rather high, there are still problems with the accuracy of phosphorus balances at catchment scale.
