Glacial retreat is a major global challenge, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions where glaciers serve as critical water sources. This research focuses on glacial retreat and its impact on land cover and land use changes (LULC) in the Barroso M...

Vegetation and subsequent ecosystem services can recover over time in forest headwaters devastated by massive disasters. However, in cold regions, their recovery rates are typically slow and often imperceptible, which makes it difficult to evaluate h...

The Shitangwan earth fissure is a resultant geological hazard due to prolonged groundwater depletion and land subsidence in Wuxi, China, since the 1980s. Initially observed in 1991, the earth fissure experienced continuous development over the next s...

Maintaining high water quality is essential not only for human survival but also for social and ecological safety. In recent years, due to the influence of human activities and natural factors, water quality has significantly deteriorated, and effect...

Streamflow prediction is vital for effective water resource management, enabling a better understanding of hydrological variability and its response to environmental factors. This study presents a spatio-temporal graph neural network (STGNN) model fo...

The recent surge in popularity of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools like ChatGPT has reignited global interest in AI, a technology with a well-established history spanning several decades. The California Department of Water Resources (...

Nowadays, modelling groundwater potential zones (GWPZs) based on scientific principles and modern techniques is a major challenge for scientists around the world. This challenge is even greater in arid and semi-arid areas. Unmanned aerial vehicles (U...

Anthropogenic activities significantly threaten aquatic ecosystems, accelerating water quality deterioration through pollution, overexploitation, and habitat disturbance. Roodeplaat Dam in South Africa exemplifies these challenges, experiencing nutri...

Flood hazard studies for dam break cases are of utmost importance for understanding potential risks and minimizing the impact of such accidents. Siriu Dam, which has a clay core, is ranked as the third highest embankment dam in Romania. A fully dynam...

In arid regions, irrigated agriculture is mainly dependent on groundwater. In Pakistan, 73% of agricultural land is directly or indirectly irrigated through groundwater. In Punjab (Pakistan), 1.2 million private tube wells are operating, mainly extra...

Flash floods are highly destructive natural disasters, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions like Egypt, where data scarcity poses significant challenges for analysis. This study focuses on the Wadi Al-Barud basin in Egypt’s Central Easter...

The increasing global reliance on water resources has necessitated improvements in turfgrass irrigation efficiency. This study aimed to compare measured field data with predicted data on irrigation water distribution in turfgrass rootzones to verify...

The variation in water level at Jiujiang Station (JJS) directly affects flow exchange between the Yangtze River and the Poyang Lake. Quantitative research on the influencing factors of water level changes at JJS is of great importance for water suppl...

In forested watersheds, suspended sediment concentration (SSC) is an important parameter that impacts water quality and beneficial use. Water quality also has impacts beyond the stream channel, as elevated SSC can violate Indigenous sovereignty, trea...

Flood has become a major hazard globally, and in Bhutan, with its steep terrain and erratic rainfall, it has caused significant economic damage in recent years. Given these challenges, there is a lack of accurate flood prediction and management strat...

The Abelar pilot basin in Coruña (northwestern Spain) has been monitored for hydrological and hydrochemical data to assess the effects of eucalyptus plantation and manure applications on water resources, water quality, and nitrate contaminatio...

Hydroelectric power plants are widely used around the world, particularly in the countries of Central and South America. In Russia, there are more than 15 large hydroelectric power plants, which form the backbone of the country’s energy sector,...

Wildfires are frequently observed in watersheds with a Mediterranean climate and seriously affect vegetation, soil, hydrology, and ecosystems as they cause abrupt changes in land cover. Assessing wildfire effects, as well as the recovery process, is...

The hydrogeological study of the Rharb coastal basin, located in the semi-arid northwest region of Morocco, focuses on its two aquifers: the Plio-Quaternary aquifer characterized by high-quality water with salt concentrations ranging from 0.4 to 2 g/...

Anthropogenic activities increase the amount of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in the environment and consequently affect the quality of soils and water resources. This study aimed to investigate the concentrations, spatial distribution, and sourc...

Pluvial flooding, driven by increasingly impervious surfaces and intense storm events, presents a growing challenge for urban areas worldwide. In Baltimore City, MD, USA, climate change, rapid urbanization, and aging stormwater infrastructure are exa...

Effective decision-making in water resource management requires timely and reliable streamflow information. This study demonstrates how the GEOGLOWS Hydrologic Model, River Forecast System (RFS), can generate actionable hydrologic status products, fo...

Numerical models are commonly used to support the management of diffuse pollution sources in large agricultural landscapes. This paper investigates the suitability of a three-dimensional groundwater streamline-based nonpoint source (NPS) assessment t...
