Lehner %J Advances in Geosciences (ADGEO) %D 2012 %I Copernicus Publications %X Land use scenarios are of primordial importance when implementing a hydrological model for the purpose of determining the future quality of water in a watershed. This paper provides the background for researching potential agricultural land use changes that may take place in a mesoscale watershed, for water quality research, and describes why studying the farm scale is important. An on-going study in Bavaria examining the local drivers of change in land use is described. %U http://www.adv-geosci.net/31/9/2012/adgeo-31-9-2012.html
