Eutrophication of inland water is a serious problem in large parts of the world. Mitigation actions for improved water status are important but often costly to implement. Therefore, tools for estimating the plausible effect of mitigation scenarios are needed to plan which actions are most effective. In this paper we implement a web based interactive tool that allows quick exploration of several alternative mitigation scenarios. In the paper we motivate and describe the method of deriving the tool from more complex modelling systems. We implement tools for Sweden and Europe based on the hydrological simulation models S-HYPE and E-HYPE. S-HYPE is used as one important source of information for Sweden's reporting of water status within the European Union Water Framework Directive. We evaluate the approach by showing that hypothetical changes in load and realistic scenarios have good agreement with full model simulation.
Funding: The project SWITCH-ON (EU FP7 grant agreement No 6035) funded the development of the European version of the tool and the Swedish research council (Project EMAP 2011-624) has funded research and evaluations needed for completing the paper.
