Discharges from rivers and land
- what data can NIVA provide for operational models

… and what else is needed?

The RID project
Arild Sundfjord 14/15 Mai 2008
Riverine inputs and direct discharges to Norwegian coastal waters
- Daily values of freshwater run-off and associated nutrient content
- 10 of the largest rivers and 36 smaller rivers
- covers ~ 50 % of the total catchment area

The RID project
Arild Sundfjord 14/15 Mai 2008
Co-operation project between NIVA, NVE and Bioforsk
Water flux data (daily) from NVE – measured from rivers, modelled for other runoff
Nutrients and other constituents from NIVA - at least monthly measurements for main rivers,
four times/year for smaller)

Data are processed and quality checked, then uploaded to password protected web site
Financed by SFT, for OSPAR commitment
Data until 2006 are available free of charge

The TEOTIL project
Arild Sundfjord 14/15 Mai 2008
Theoretical, coefficient based calculation of runoff and associated nutrient loads based on known source distribution.
Covers entire Norwegian mainland – can be used to ”fill” the missing 50% of the area in RID.

Summary- and questions -
Discharges and nutrient loads are provided at 1 day resolution.
Is this sufficient for operational modelling? Of hydrodynamics?Biology, e.g. algal blooms or oxygen deficiencies?
Should other parameters be included?
Is temporal and spatial resolution adequate?
