Global water quality (WQ) modeling is an emerging field. In this article, we identify the missing linkages between global and basin/local-scale WQ models, and discuss the possibilities to fill these gaps. We argue that WQ models need stronger linkages across spatial scales. This would help to identify effective scale-specific WQ management options and contribute to future development of global WQ models. Two directions are proposed to improve the linkages: nested multiscale WQ modeling towards enhanced water management, and development of next-generation global WQ models based-on basin/local-scale mechanistic understanding. We highlight the need for better collaboration among WQ modelers and policy-makers in order to deliver responsive water policies and management strategies across scales.

桥接全球,流域和本地规模的水质模型,以增强全球范围内的水质管理
全球水质(WQ)建模是一个新兴领域。在本文中,我们确定了全球和流域/地方规模的水质模型之间缺失的联系,并讨论了填补这些空白的可能性。我们认为,WQ模型需要跨空间尺度的更强联系。这将有助于确定针对特定规模的有效WQ管理选项,并为全球WQ模型的未来发展做出贡献。提出了两个改善连接的方向:嵌套的多尺度WQ建模,以加强水资源管理,以及基于流域/局部尺度的机理理解,开发下一代全球WQ模型。我们强调需要WQ建模人员和决策者之间更好的协作,以便在各个规模上提供响应迅速的水政策和管理策略。
