Abstract GIS model SWAT to assess the nutrient load on the catchment area of the Gulf of Finland from the transboundary Seleznevka River (Rakkolanjoki) was applied. All stages of the model setup are considered: preparation of initial data, building the SWAT-model, its calibration and scenario calculations. We consider the possibility of using the SWAT-model for managing the quality of water bodies in Russia and the difficulties that arise while building a model for this catchment area.
