Three hypotheses on changing river flood hazards

Authors: Günter Blöschl

Journal: Hydrology and earth system sciences · DOI: 10.5194/hess-26-5015-2022 · Citations: 92

Matched topics: river, runoff, flood

Abstract. There is serious concern that the hazard, or probability, of river floods is increasing over time. Starting from narratives that are sometimes discussed in public, the article addresses three hypotheses. The first suggests that land-use changes, such as deforestation, urbanisation and soil compaction by agriculture, increase flood hazards. This review finds that land-use effects on floods are particularly pronounced in small catchments since soil permeability plays an important role…

Abstract. Rivers and river habitats around the world are under sustained pressure from human activities and the changing global environment. Our ability to quantify and manage the river states in a timely manner is critical for protecting the public safety and natural resources. In recent years, vector-based river network models have enabled modeling of large river basins at increasingly fine resolutions, but are computationally demanding. This work presents a multistage, physics-guided, grap…

Dynamic characteristics and responses of ecosystem services under land use/land cover change scenarios in the Huangshui River Basin, China

Authors: Pengquan Wang, Runjie Li, Dejun Liu, Yuanmei Wu

Journal: Ecological Indicators · DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2022.109539 · Citations: 64

Matched topics: river

High-intensity human activities have changed land use/land cover (LULC) patterns in the Huangshui River Basin (HRB), which has brought significant challenges to ecosystems sustainable development. Discerning ecosystem service dynamic characteristics and responses under different land use/cover change (LUCC) scenarios are necessary to increase the public willingness to pay for the ecosystem and guide the decision-making process. We examined LULC spatiotemporal dynamics in the HRB from 2000 to …

Worldwide surface waters suffer from the presence of nitrogen (N) compounds causing eutrophication and deterioration of the water quality. Despite many Europe-wide legislation’s, we still observe high N levels across many water bodies in Europe. Information on long-term annual soil N surplus is needed to better understand these N levels and inform future management strategies. Here, we reconstructed and analysed the annual long-term N surplus for both agricultural and non-agricultural soils a…
