Rapid population growth and urbanization are transforming natural landscapes into built environments, resulting in increased stormwater runoff, which poses significant challenges for local governments to manage. Water-Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) te...

Furnas volcano, one of the three active central volcanoes of São Miguel (the Azores archipelago), hosts mineral waters with significant special variations, divided into hyperthermal (89.4–95.4 °C), thermal (29.9–70.0 °C), a...

The prediction made by former Vice President of the World Bank, Ismail Serageldin, that the wars of the 21st century will be about water, remains on the international political agenda. Yet, there is enough evidence corroborating that water wars have...

Water problems extend beyond the watershed of local communities and single countries. A novel governance approach must comprise coordination and institutional arrangements at the global scale, and rely on a set of axioms that guide the decision-makin...

Land use is known to be an important factor in the composition and function of adjacent freshwater lotic ecosystems. However, the relative effects of land use type, extent, intensity, and proximity on aquatic ecosystem quality are not fully understoo...

Climate change presents considerable challenges to hydrological stability by modifying precipitation patterns and exacerbating the frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall events. This research evaluates the prospective alterations in rainfall qua...

Water resources management needs to be strengthened to address increasing flood and drought risks exacerbated by climate change and socio-economic development. This requires effective water governance mechanisms that can reduce vulnerability in disas...

Irrigation water quality is of critical importance for optimum crop yield of economically important field crops in the Kahramanmaraş plains. A preliminary ecotoxicological assessment is necessary before large-scale irrigation. Therefore, this st...

Lake Hume, a critical reservoir within the Murray River system, Australia, has been identified as a potential source of cyanobacteria in downstream rivers during past mega-blooms. This study aims to evaluate the impact of lake-level fluctuations on c...

Since the impoundment of the Baihetan Reservoir, water-involved landslides have become widespread. Existing studies on landslide-generated waves have rarely examined the impact of varying water levels on wave characteristics. This paper focuses on th...
