The accuracy and the reliability of the above information generated by models is highly determined by how a model delineates surface runoff pathways and how it simulates pollutant transport processes along the runoff pathways, which is especially important in complex watersheds with fragment landscapes. Agriculture in China is characterized with small and various types of fields in limited areas, which means fragment landscapes are common. Currently, widely used non-point source models are most developed in western countries, which usually ignore the heterogeneity of fine-scale runoff pathways and simulate terrestrial pollutant transport within a sub-watershed by a lumped approach. This paper presented a Spatially and Temporally distributed Model for Non-Point Source pollution (STEM-NPS) that simulates pollutant transport processes based on fine-scale runoff pathways. First, the background, development process and model theory of STEM-NPS was described. STEM-NPS was first published in international journals in 2017 while the development and modifications continue till right now. The model simulates runoff, nutrient loads and water quality on a grid cell basis and a daily time step. The hydrological module of STEM-NPS is the Distributed Hydrological Model for Watershed Mangement (DHM-WM) which delineates runoff pathways, simulate surface, subsurface and base flow and calculates runoff travel time along pathways. DHM-WM has two water balance routines:local routine is for watersheds dominated by infiltration-excess runoff while global routine is for watersheds with both infiltration-excess and saturation-excess runoff. The pollutant transport module of STEM-NPS simulates nutrient loads generated from source areas and loads entering water bodies with zero-order mobilization and first-order delivery functions respectively. Then, model application cases in different geographic regions and scales were presented. One case was in a plateau watershed in Yunnan province and the other case was in a plain county in Henan province. The application cases showed the model functions in tracking fine-scale runoff pathways, identifying fine-scale critical source areas, analyzing key processes and driving factors of pollutant losses, as well as how the model was used in an on-line support-decision system of non-point source pollution monitoring and control. After that, STEM-NPS was compared with some commonly used models such as SWAT, APEX, HSPF, AnnAGNPS, L-THIA, STEPL-WEB, CADA-ECM and SPARROW, specifically for their functions in identifying critical source areas and assessing best management practices (BMPs). Based on the comparison, application perspectives of STEM-NPS in ecology were proposed, such as assessing the impact of hydrologic connectivity on nutrient transport and analyzing social-economic development impact on water environment. Although with advantage in supporting fine-scale non-point source pollution control, the STEM-NPS model still needs further modifications, such as representing nutrient legacy effect in the nutrient transport module and developing a user-friendly BMP assessment module. 参考文献 相似文献 引证文献
