Pollution due to urbanization
Model characteristics
- Model name: MARINA-Multi
- Version: Europe-1.0
- Application: the drainage area of the Black Sea
- Scales: sub-basins and annual
- Period: 2010-2100
- Pollutants: nitrogen, phosphorus, triclosan, , and microplastics
- Sources: point (sewage)
- Main inputs: population with the sewage connections, removal efficiencies, excretion / consumption rates of pollutants per capita
- Main outputs: inputs of multiple pollutants to rivers by source and sub-basin
