). To determine if a priming stress prior to a drought stress would be beneficial to the survival of soybean, plants were divided into three treatment groups: the unprimed group receiving one cycle of stress (1S), the primed group receiving two cycles of stress (2S), and the unstressed control group not subjected to any stress (US). When compared with the unprimed plants, priming led to a reduction of drought stress index (DSI) by 3, resulting in more than 14% increase in surviving leaves, mo…

The wastewaters from pharmaceutical manufacturing units, hospitals, and domestic sewage contaminated with excretal matters of medicine users are the prime sources of pharmaceutical pollutants (PPs) in natural water bodies. In the present study, PPs have been considered one of the emerging pollutants (EPs) and a cause of concern in river health assessment. Beyond the reported increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ABRB), PPs have been found adversely affecting the biotic diversity in such …

Urban surface runoff (USR) and drainage system overflows during wet weather (WWF) play a key role in shaping water pollution. Particularly, the impact of large amounts of microplastic pollution on urban water bodies is unclear. We conducted an in-field investigation in six central urban drainage systems along Suzhou Creek in the Shanghai megacity of China and identified the impacts of storm factors and land use on the real-time dynamic changes in microplastic abundance and characteristics in …
Supraglacial debris thickness and supply rate in High-Mountain Asia
Authors: Michael McCarthy, Evan Miles, Marin Kneib, Pascal Buri, Stefan Fugger, Francesca Pellicciotti
Journal: Communications Earth & Environment · DOI: 10.1038/s43247-022-00588-2 · Citations: 53
Matched topics: hydrology, streamflow
Abstract Supraglacial debris strongly modulates glacier melt rates and can be decisive for ice dynamics and mountain hydrology. It is ubiquitous in High-Mountain Asia, yet because its thickness and supply rate from local topography are poorly known, our ability to forecast regional glacier change and streamflow is limited. Here we combined remote sensing and numerical modelling to resolve supraglacial debris thickness by altitude for 4689 glaciers in High-Mountain Asia, and debris-supply rate…
Urban pipeline rainwater runoff is an important pathway for land-based microplastics transport to inland surface water: A case study in Beijing.

Matched topics: runoff
Microplastics (MPs) as new environmental pollutants are receiving increasing attention worldwide. Urban rainwater runoff plays an important role in facilitating the migration of land-based MPs to surface water. Previous research has focused predominantly on aquatic ecosystems, whereas research on this migration pathway and the characteristics of MPs in rainwater pipelines draining from different land-use types is still lacking. This study investigated the abundance and characteristics of MPs …

The present scenario of water insecurity (poor availability and accessibility to clean and healthy water when needed) denotes the preponderance of environmental damage caused by effluents or waste runoff from industries, such as the dye and textile industries. The polluted waters have led to terrible and sonorous negative impacts on the ecosystem and econetworking, thus, urging for a sustainably suitable substitute to tackle and annul the noxious environmental constraint posse by the hazardou…
An Integrated InSAR and GNSS Approach to Monitor Land Subsidence in the Po River Delta (Italy)
Authors: Massimo Fabris, Mattia Battaglia, Xue Chen, Andrea Menin, Michele Monego, Mario Floris

Matched topics: river
Land subsidence affects many areas of the world, posing a serious threat to human structures and infrastructures. It can be effectively monitored using ground-based and remote sensing techniques, such as the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR). GNSS provides high precision measurements, but in a limited number of points, and is time-consuming, while InSAR allows one to obtain a very large number of measurement points, but only in area…
Application of the SWAT model to assess climate and land use/cover change impacts on water balance components of the Kabul River Basin, Afghanistan
Authors: Jamal Hassan Ougahi, Shahid Karim, Syed Amer Mahmood
Journal: Journal of Water and Climate Change · DOI: 10.2166/wcc.2022.261 · Citations: 39
Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, river, streamflow
Abstract Hydrological models play a key role in simulating and assessing climate and land use/cover (LULC) change impacts on hydrology in a watershed. In this study, the impact of climate and LULC change was investigated using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. The simulated and observed streamflow showed a good agreement. Both Nash–Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) and coefficient of determination (R2) were found to be greater than 0.7 during the calibration (1985–2002) and validation…
