Short summary
We present a new catchment model that covers most major pollutants and is suitable for uncertainty analysis. The effects of climate change, population dynamics, socio-economic development, and management strategies on water quality are demonstrated in a small catchment in the Swiss Plateau. Models and data are still the largest sources of uncertainty for some water quality parameters. Uncertainty assessment helps to select robust management and focus research and monitoring efforts.
