The Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) in China is one of the world’s largest hydropower projects. Interval inflow, originating from ungauged areas between the upstream gauging control stations (Zhutuo, Beibei, Wulong) and the TGR dam site, is a crit...
We assessed the vertical accuracy of six global digital elevation models—FABDEM (SRTM-enhanced), SRTM, ASTER GDEM, ALOS AW3D30, DeltaDTM and GEDTM—against a local photogrammetry-derived DEM as a benchmark in a flat coastal plain of the Co...
Drought is expected to intensify under climate change, posing significant risks to Mediterranean agroecosystems. This study provides long-term projections of drought and wetness conditions for three representative Mediterranean regions—Eastern...
Groundwater, a vital resource for drinking water supply, must be managed sustainably to ensure its availability and quality. In France, the SISE-Eaux database on water intended for human consumption, archived by the Regional Health Agencies (ARS) sin...
The determination of groundwater background levels is a prerequisite for assessing and analyzing groundwater characteristics. Shanghai is among the most economically developed regions in China and is located in the estuary of the Yangtze River, where...
The hydrodynamics and water quality of rivers and lakes are governed by complex interactions among flow, mixing, stratification, sediment transport, and biogeochemical processes (Ji, 2017) [...]
Groundwater is a critical strategic resource supporting agricultural production and ecological security in the transboundary river basins of Northeast China. However, intensified climate variability and rapid agricultural expansion over the past two...
Studying the precipitation characteristics and extreme precipitation events in arid and semi-arid regions is of significant baseline value for optimizing water resource allocation and utilizing precipitation resources. Utilizing multi-scale ERA5 prec...
Clarifying the interplay between extreme soil moisture (SM) and precipitation (P) is imperative to understand the impacts of extreme events on ecosystems in a changing climate. However, the detailed relationships, pathways, and quantitative character...
Hydrological calibration in data-scarce catchments is challenged by non-stationary regimes, fragmented data, and systematic measurement errors. Conventional calibration approaches often assume continuous records and rely on standard performance metri...
Rapid urbanization has led to increasing structural modification of river catchments through dam construction and concrete-lining of natural channels as flood management measures. These interventions can alter the natural hydrology. This necessitates...
With 2024 marking the tenth anniversary of its establishment, 2025 was the first year of the second decade of Hydrology [...]
Climate change can alter both the amount and timing of inflows to water supply reservoirs while also increasing heat-driven demand and the likelihood of stressful warm-season conditions. Climate-driven changes in inflow to Eagle Mountain Lake Reservo...
This article provides a comprehensive analysis of long-term changes in the minimum river flow of the southern rivers of Western Kazakhstan (Temir, Oiyil, Zhem) for the period 1940–2022, with an emphasis on summer minimum and winter low flow as...
Reduced soil moisture (SM) together with elevated vapor pressure deficit (VPD) suppresses gross primary productivity (GPP) and thus weakens the capacity of the terrestrial carbon pool. Against the backdrop of global climate change, soil and atmospher...
Reliable observation of water resources is a major challenge for sustainable development, particularly in the river-centric deltaic countries like Bangladesh, where the data is generally scarce. Leveraging operational satellites, this study presents...
This study assesses groundwater quality and nitrate-related health risks in the Skhirat coastal aquifer (Morocco) using a multidisciplinary approach. A total of thirty groundwater wells were sampled and analyzed for physico-chemical properties, inclu...
Selenium contamination in arid agricultural basins remains a key ecological concern, yet the Wister Unit of the Imperial Wildlife Area has received comparatively little hydrochemical study. This investigation provides the most integrated assessment t...
Groundwater heavy metal contamination (GHMC) has drawn significant attention in China over recent decades due to industrialization. However, effective monitoring and early warning remain global challenges because of the limited understanding of heavy...
Groundwater models form the basis for investigating subsurface processes that relate to groundwater flow. Urban cover, however, usually inhibits the collection of new subsurface or geological data. Therefore, models usually depend on existing, poor-q...
Effective management of transitional waters requires collaboration between administrative and scientific institutions, in line with the sustainable water management principles established by the Water Framework Directive (WFD, 2000/60/EC). The Cadiz...
Effective Water Resource Management (WRM) requires the integration of physical hydrological processes with institutional drought response plans. In Romania, the Olt River Basin represents one of the most highly regulated catchments, where water secur...
A hybrid machine learning framework has been developed in this study to estimate Terrestrial Water Storage Anomalies (TWSA) in Morocco’s Casablanca–Settat region, which faces serious groundwater stress due to rapid urbanization, intensive...
Understanding the characteristics of precipitation datasets in a given region is crucial for hydrological studies. This study focuses on the British Columbia (BC) Province in Canada and evaluates the statistical characteristics of precipitation data...
This study investigates how a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model internally represents baseflow contributions in snowmelt-driven, semi-arid mountain basins with heterogeneous geologic characteristics. Five basins in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of...
In this study, an advanced copula-based Bayesian inference framework is proposed to characterize probabilistic features in hydrological simulations. Specifically, a Copula–Metropolis–Hastings (CopMH) algorithm is developed through integra...
Terminal lakes in arid regions are highly vulnerable to climate variability and human water management, yet their long-term hydrological responses under multi-river regulation remain insufficiently quantified. Using Taitema Lake at the terminus of th...
Urbanization in mountainous regions alters hydrologic systems, yet the spatial patterning of residential (RA) and non-residential (NRA) areas in response to hydrologic constraints remains poorly quantified. In this study, we analyzed how such constra...
The November 2025 extreme rainfall event associated with Tropical Cyclone Ditwah caused catastrophic flooding and landslides across Sri Lanka. This study presents a national-scale statistical and Intensity–Duration–Frequency (IDF)-based a...
The application of two-dimensional (2D) hydrologic and hydraulic modeling tools is increasing for overland flow simulation, as they represent spatial changes in depth, velocity, and flow conditions more accurately. Recently, the US Army Corps HEC-HMS...
This study evaluated the water supply and regulation of the San Pedro River basin, located in the municipality of Puerto Libertador (Córdoba, Colombia), under climate change scenarios, using the SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) hydrologic...
The rapid expansion of tunnel construction in mountainous regions faces significant challenges due to the heterogeneity of surrounding rocks caused by faults, fractures, and karst features, which strongly affect groundwater seepage. Traditional homog...
Agricultural production remains highly susceptible to water-related risks, such as drought and flooding. Although hydrologic forecasting systems, such as the National Water Model (NWM), have advanced considerably, their outputs are rarely used for re...
