Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

In the manuscript "A new water environmental load and allocation modeling framework at mediu-latge basin scale" the authors describe a new method to allocate pollution loads.

I believe the manuscript is of interest but some issues may be adressed prior to publication:

the results and discussion is too long, and sometimes dificult to follow for the reader; an effort should be made to improve this section for clarity; the role of the experts in the process should be clarified; the abstract has a very large introduction (about the background) that can be simplified; some revision regarding the English language is needed to improve the clarity of the manuscript.

I am attaching the commented version of the manuscript.

The idea seems to be novel with maybe a average impact in science but the great influence in practical water/wastewater managing. The paper shows clearly the idea and the course to create results with their discussion. Reviewer hasn't found any mistakes and incomprehensions. In reviewer's opinion the manuscript is suitable for publish in Water.
