Matched topics: hydrologic model

Global changes, including climate and land use changes, can result in significant impact to water resources. Planning for these changes requires making projections, even in the face of considerable uncertainties, to make informed management and policy decisions. A number of climate change scenarios and projections at global and regional levels are available that can be used to predict the likely range of outcomes. However, there is a need to translate these projections into potential implicat…

Matched topics: river

Urban rivers are complex ecosystems that directly determine the living environment of human beings. Monitoring the urban river water quality indexes is a challenge in water quality evaluation. The purpose of this study was to propose a multi-source remote sensing water quality inversion method based on a small number of samples to solve the problem of scale inconsistency among multi-source remote sensing data, so as to achieve large-scale and efficient inversion of urban river water quality. …

There is mounting evidence that terrestrial arthropods are declining rapidly in many areas of the world. It is unclear whether freshwater invertebrates, which are key providers of ecosystem services, are also declining. We addressed this question by analysing a long-term dataset of macroinvertebrate abundance collected from 2002 to 2019 across 5009 sampling sites in English rivers. Patterns varied markedly across taxonomic groups. Within trophic groups we detected increases in the abundance o…

Effects of agricultural land use on river biota: a meta-analysis

Authors: Christian Schürings, Christian K. Feld, Jochem Kail, Daniel Hering

Journal: Environmental Sciences Europe · DOI: 10.1186/s12302-022-00706-z · Citations: 54

Matched topics: river, streamflow, hydropower

Abstract Agriculture, the world’s most dominant land use type, burdens freshwater biodiversity with a multitude of stressors such as diffuse pollution and hydromorphological alteration. However, it is difficult to directly link agricultural land use with biota response as agricultural stressors can also originate from other causes. Also, there is evidence for positive and negative effects of agriculture on organisms, agricultural impact differs strongly with the biological metric and study re…

of bedrock excavated to depths of ~190 m. A hierarchy of environmental controls ostensibly underpins this complex signature: lithology, topography and climate, though it is basal thermodynamics that ultimately regulates erosion, which can be variously protective, pervasive, or, highly selective. Our analysis highlights the remarkable yet fickle nature of glacial erosion - critically modulated by transient ice-sheet dynamics - with its capacity to impart a profound but piecemeal geological leg…


Impacts of land use/cover change on water balance by using the SWAT model in a typical loess hilly watershed of China

Authors: Zeman Liu, Rong Li, Wei Wei

Journal: Geography and sustainability · DOI: 10.1016/j.geosus.2022.11.006 · Citations: 51

Matched topics: hydrology, runoff, land surface model

Land use/cover change (LUCC) plays a key role in altering surface hydrology and water balance, finally affecting the security and availability of water resources. However, mechanisms underlying LUCC determination of water-balance processes at the basin scale remain unclear. In this study, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model and partial least squares regression were used to detect the effects of LUCC on hydrology and water components in the Zuli River Basin (ZRB), a typical watersh…


Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in surface water and fish from three Asian countries: Species-specific bioaccumulation and potential ecological risks.

Matched topics: surface water

In Asian developing countries, undeveloped and ineffective sewer systems are causing surface water pollution by a lot of contaminants, especially pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs). Therefore, the risks for freshwater fauna need to be assessed. The present study aimed at: i) elucidating the contamination status; ii) evaluating the bioaccumulation; and iii) assessing the potential risks of PPCP residues in surface water and freshwater fish from three Asian countries. We measure…


Quantification of the effects of conservation practices on surface runoff and soil erosion in croplands and their trade-off: A meta-analysis.

Authors: J. Rajbanshi, Sharmistha Das, Roni Paul

Journal: Science of the Total Environment · DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.161015 · Citations: 58

Matched topics: runoff

Soil erosion coupled with high runoff poses a significant threat to the topsoil fertility, declining its productivity and raising major environmental and socio-economic issues such as land degradation, desertification, food scarcity, and hunger globally. Several conservation methods have been widely adopted in order to reduce runoff and protect the soil from erosion. The effectiveness of such conservation practices are controlled by many factors (i.e., climate, topography, soil properties, la…
