Phosphorus transport in the Berg River, Western Cape

The objective of this investigation was to develop a dynamic phosphorus export model that describes the transportation of phosphorus through the Berg River drainage basin. Such a model had to consider (1) export of phosphorus from nonpoint (diffuse) sources via surface and subsurface drainage, and from point sources such as wastewater treatment discharges, (2) transportation of phosphorus in the water prism along the river channel, taking account of removal and remobilization of phosphorus from and to the water column, and transportation of phosphorus in the bed load.
