Linked catchment and lake models are useful for predicting how lake water quality will change over time and in response to management actions. We are developing and demonstrating the use of such linked models for multiple lakes in New Zealand. A key science question is whether the catchment models need to provide day-to-day variations in contaminant loading to the lake, or whether it is acceptable to use inputs averaged over time.
CS1.1.2: Scalable models based on an integrated geospatial platform
Waikato Regional Council (data collection and lake
Nutrient loadings to >2600 lakes nationally have been calculated using the CLUES catchment model and incorporated into Takiwa Lakes online geospatial platform.
High-frequency water quality data have been collected at inflows to Lake Waikare from the Lake Waikare lake buoy.
Catchment-lake models have been established for several lakes under co-funding, in preparation for conducting numerical experiments on temporal sensitivity in 2017-18.
Lake Waikare (Waikato)
Lake Tutira (Hawkes Bay)
Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere (Canterbury)
Lake Wairarapa (Greater Wellington)
All lakes nationally
