Woody plants serve as crucial ecological barriers surrounding oases in arid and semi-arid regions, playing a vital role in maintaining the stability and supporting sustainable development of oases. However, their sparse distribution makes significant...
Accurate information about groundwater level prediction is crucial for effective planning and management of groundwater resources. In the present study, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN), optimized with a Genetic Algorithm (GA-ANN), was employed fo...
Soil secondary salinization is a major limiting factor of sustainable agricultural production in arid and semi-arid irrigation zones, yet predictive tools for regional water–salt dynamics remain limited. The Yichang Irrigation District, located...
The long-term overexploitation of groundwater has caused sharp decreases in groundwater table depth and water storage in the agricultural areas of the North China Plain, which has led to obvious changes in the runoff process of the hydrological cycle...
Understanding the interactions between shallow saline groundwater and surface water is crucial for managing water logging in deltaic islands. Water logging conditions result in the accumulation of salt in the root zone of crops and detrimentally affe...
In recent decades, the Saïss plain, in the northwest of Morocco, has experienced a noticeable increase in water demand due to a very significant population growth and economic development, as well as the climate change effects. With the aim of r...
In arid and semi-arid areas, due to drought climate and shortage of water resources, groundwater is crucial for natural ecological protection and economic development. It serves a dual role as a resource function and an ecological function. However,...
The Pandameru River Basin, South India, is affected by high levels of contamination from human activities and the over-exploitation of groundwater for agriculture, both of which pose significant threats to water quality and its availability for drink...
Sustainable and resilient hydrologic urban ecosystem services rely on connectivity among gray, green, and blue infrastructures. We conducted a field study of post-urban landscape hydrology in inland (River Rouge) and coastal (Detroit River) catchment...
Many countries employ mining and ore processing techniques to concentrate and extract precious natural resources. However, the slow leaching of numerous dissolved elements and compounds from large quantities of waste rock and mine tailings can signif...
Under a warming climate, permafrost degradation has resulted in profound hydrogeological consequences. Here, we mainly review 240 recent relevant papers. Permafrost degradation has boosted groundwater storage and discharge to surface runoffs through...
In an arid climate with minimal rainfall, plant growth is constrained by water scarcity and soil salinity. Ecological Water Conveyance (EWC) can mitigate degradation risks faced by riparian plant communities in these regions. However, its effects on...
