Taitema Lake, situated at the terminus of the Tarim River Basin in Northwest China, represents a crucial ecological resource impacted by climate variability and anthropogenic interventions. In this study, we investigate the dynamic changes in Taitema...

Many dammed reservoirs in dry climate conditions witness high sediment inflow rates due to higher soil erodibility, yet there are limited actual sediment influx measurements. Therefore, this study first applies the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWA...

Global climate change primarily affects the spatiotemporal variation in physical quantities, such as relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, ambient temperature, and, notably, precipitation levels. Accurate precipitation predictions remain elusive,...

This paper provides a comprehensive review of the available literature on the observation and characterization of river ice using remote sensing technologies. Through an analysis of 200 publications spanning from 1919 to June 2024, we reviewed differ...

This study estimates the relative contribution of different factors to the wide variation in agricultural economic water productivity (EWP) across Colorado River Basin counties. It updates EWP measures for Basin counties using more detailed, localize...

Coastal backwater effects on low-gradient coastal plain rivers extend well upstream of the head of the estuary and propagate upstream as sea-level rises. Hydrological, geomorphological, and ecological indicators can serve as sentinels of the upriver...

Surface runoff is a key component of the hydrological cycle and is essential for water resource management and water ecological balance in river basins. It is important to accurately reveal the spatial and temporal dynamics of regional surface runoff...

Hydraulic tomography (HT) is a promising technique for high-resolution imaging of subsurface heterogeneity, which addresses the limitations of traditional methods, such as borehole drilling and geophysical surveys. This study focuses on the applicati...

Assessing the daily water requirements of crops and understanding the severity of drought necessitates precise estimation of potential evapotranspiration (PET), particularly in regions with arid climates such as Egypt. In the present study, the RegCM...

Determining the type and properties of saturated groundwater for complex sedimentary facies, as well as the various properties of these sedimentary facies, requires extensive geological, hydrogeological, and geophysical studies. Therefore, identifyin...

Flood frequency analysis at large scales, essential for the development of flood risk maps, is hindered by the scarcity of gauge flow data. Suitable methods are thus required to predict flooding in ungauged basins, a notoriously complex problem in hy...

Stable isotope abundances (δ¹⁸O and δ²H) in regional aquifers can provide important paleoclimate information. However, identifying paleoclimate signals can be complicated by cross-formational mixing and, potentially, by isotopic diffusion...

Seasonally managed wetlands in the San Joaquin River (SJR) watershed in California provide important benefits to wildlife and humans but are threatened through anthropogenic activity. Wetlands in the SJR are subject to salinity regulation, which pose...

Traditional hydrological model calibration using limitedly available streamflow data often becomes inadequate, particularly in dry climates, as the flow regimes may abruptly vary from arid conditions to devastating floods. Newly available remote-sens...

Flood variability associated with urbanization, ecological change, and climatic change is of increasing economic and social concern in and around Flagstaff, Arizona, where flood hydrology is influenced by a biannual precipitation regime and the relat...

In the 21st century, climate change and its consequences are getting more serious. The changes in temperature and precipitation alter the run-off conditions, subsequently influencing the channel processes of rivers. The study aims to analyse the hydr...

The objective of this study was to assess the water quality status of the surface water and groundwater resources in the Middelburg area, South Africa. The assessment was addressed using combined water quality indices, investigating selected chemical...

Green roofs (GRs) are a widely recognized green infrastructure (GI) strategy that helps reduce runoff volume and runoff pollution caused by the significant increase in impervious urban areas. However, the leaching of several nutrients from GR substra...

Landslides or slope failure pose a significant risk to human lives and infrastructures. The stability of slopes is controlled by various hydrological processes such as rainfall infiltration, soil water dynamics, and unsaturated soil behavior. Accordi...

This paper discusses the groundwater vulnerability to pollution assessment for the Tirana–Ishmi alluvium aquifer, Albania. Economic activities, municipal wastewater discharged into rivers and groundwater overexploitation threaten to pollute the...
