The models range from the very simple TEOTIL operating on statistical data and export coefficients, via the semi-complex INCA-P to the highly complex and process-based SWAT. All models have been calibrated with use of basically the same input and calibration data. The models have, to the extent they are capable, been used further to simulate a set of theoretical pollution reduction scenarios. The calibration results showed that all the models are basically able to simulate historical loads of TotP on a catchment level, except maybe those years with particularly high or low loads (INCA-P in 1999 and TEOTIL in 2002). The scenario analysis showed that the models are to a varying degree capable of simulati
