• The paper describes an integrated lake and catchment model which was developed and tested against data from the Rutland Water catchment (River Nene and Welland) in Eastern England. The model uses export coefficients to predict annual diffuse losses of phosphorus from catchment land use, which are temporally disaggregated using empirical relationships between phosphorus load and discharge in headwater streams. Dynamic inputs of phosphorus are incorporated into a hydrologically based, multi‐reach distributed catchment model which also simulates sewage discharges, ions and reservoirs/ lakes. The model allows a comparison of simulated output with observed discharge and water‐quality data from various points within the river system.
