N2 - This paper describes progress on techniques in the modelling of sediments and nutrients to inform management effort. It describes a catchment-scale model known as CatchMODS, and the integration of knowledge from a range of collateral sources to inform its development and application. A full description of the model, including its hydrologic, sediment and nutrient modules, is presented. The paper describes how knowledge from field-based studies is incorporated to support the modelling. Knowledge is generated from: (i) water quality monitoring; (ii) sediment tracing of critical source areas and relative subcatchment contributions (using geochemical, and mineralogy techniques); and (iii) field investigation, particularly landscape measurement. This knowledge is used for model conceptualisation, correct parameterisation and performance testing.
