This paper presents practical examples of where problem-specific compartment models have been developed and implemented in AMBER to aid environmental decision making. • An assessment of the disposal of organic pesticides by land spreading to evaluate the protection of surface and groundwater resources. Following a literature review and workshop of experts, a model was developed to provide a scoping assessment and to identify key processes and parameters. • A contaminated land safety assessment integrating 37 areas of contaminated ground into a 3-D site-wide model that included adjacent farmland and marine environments.
