This paper explores different methods of computing backwater depth for open-channel flow, such as one- to multi-dimensional models, finite difference approaches, and artificial intelligence methods. This paper primarily focuses on one-dimensional met...
Recent research identified 2022 as being the year of lowest seasonal April–May–June–July (AMJJ) observed streamflow for the Po River Basin (PRB) in the past two centuries. Expanding upon this research, we applied filters (2-year to...
Groundwater, which is widely used in arid regions due to scarcity of surface sources, has excellent quality and, under certain conditions, can be consumed directly. Human activities have caused climate change, leading to decreased precipitation and i...
The transformative potential of deep learning models is felt in many research fields, including hydrology and water resources. This study investigates the effectiveness of the Temporal Fusion Transformer (TFT), a deep neural network architecture for...
The development of renewable energy is an effective avenue for achieving net zero goals. It requires many energy storage systems (ESSs) for adjusting the unstable power generated by renewable energy. To date, PSH is the most technically mature, econo...
Deep learning (DL) approaches to forecast precipitation and inundation areas in the short-term forecast horizon have up until now been treated as independent research problems from the model development perspective. However, for the urban hydrology a...
In recent years, precipitation concentration indices have become popular, and the daily precipitation concentration index has been widely used worldwide. This index is based on the Lorenz curve fitting. Recently, some biases in the fitting process ha...
This paper presents a novel study of the Nature-based Solutions (NbSs) approach to analyze and propose mitigation measures for extreme floods. The study area is the Llobregat River in Catalonia, which crosses urban areas. We have selected one section...
With increasing pressure on freshwater resources in developing countries due to population growth, further research and potential interventions are crucial. Lake Tana, located in the headwaters of the Blue Nile, serves as a critical example of these...
The effective characterization of landscape water balance components—evapotranspiration, runoff, recharge, and soil storage—is critical for understanding the integrated effects of the water balance on vegetation dynamics, water availabili...
Based on long-term observations of the water discharge (WD) from 1878 to 2018, the main trends and patterns of its change in the basin of one of the largest rivers in the east of the East European Plain, the Vyatka River, were revealed using a set of...
The water level and surface area of Urmia Lake, located in the northwest of Iran, has decreased dramatically, presenting significant challenges for hydrological modeling due to complex interactions between surface and groundwater. In this study, the...
Many municipalities around the world place their production wells in shallow alluvial aquifers that are adjacent to streams. Pumping these wells then induces the infiltration of surface water into the aquifer, allowing the greater extraction of water...
The Congo River Basin is the second-largest watershed globally, flowing through nine countries before reaching the Atlantic Ocean. The Kasai River Basin (KARB), containing about one-fourth of Congo’s freshwater resources, plays a strategic role...
Regions grappling with water scarcity are compelled to fortify their hydrological analytical protocols for efficacious drought disaster preparedness, considering the escalating influence of climate change on river periodicity and the sustainable mana...
In coastal regions, groundwater is often the only freshwater resource available for human consumption, agriculture, and other productive activities. From a management point of view, it is essential to understand the processes that occur in a coastal...
The systematic identification of appropriate sites for different rainwater harvesting (RWH) structures may contribute to better success of crop production in such areas. One approach to improving crop yields in North Kordofan, Sudan, that is mostly a...
Design floods are traditionally estimated based on the at-site annual maximum flood series, including historical information of hydraulic structures. Nevertheless, the construction and operation of upstream reservoirs undermine the assumption of stat...
This paper presents a comparative study that examines the effects of the Dubai Creek extension on its hydrodynamics and water flushing dynamics. Dubai Creek (Khor Dubai) is a 24 km long artificial seawater stream located in the emirate of Dubai. The...
Spring snowmelt has a significant impact on the hydrological cycle in seasonally frozen soil areas. However, scholars hold differing, and even opposing, views on the role of snowmelt during the thawing period in groundwater recharge. To explore the p...
The Flumendosa dams are a key part of the water resources system of the island of Sardinia. The analysis of a long-term (1922–2022) hydrological database showed that the Flumendosa basin has been affected by climate change since the middle of t...
The Prespa–Ohrid lake system in the southwest Balkan region is the oldest permanent lake system in Europe and a global hotspot of biodiversity and endemism. Its smaller component, Lake Macro Prespa (or simply called Prespa), shared by North Mac...
Traditional coastal flood risk prediction often overlooks critical geographic features, underscoring the need for accurate risk prediction in coastal cities to ensure resilience. This study enhances the prediction of coastal flood occurrence by utili...
