Abstract Water scarcity and accessibility remain persistently amongst the most prominent global challenges. Although there is a wide agreement among international organizations that Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and water governance are key to overcome water-related challenges, global assessments of the progress made by cities is lacking. This paper for the first time analyses the challenges of water, wastewater, municipal solid waste and climate change in cities. We used empir…

BACKGROUND: Respiratory disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality; however, surveillance for circulating respiratory viruses is passive and biased. Wastewater-based epidemiology has been used to understand SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection rates at a community level but has not been used to investigate other respiratory viruses. We aimed to use wastewater-based epidemiology to understand community viral respiratory infection occurrence. METHODS…

Rivers are among the most diverse, dynamic, and productive ecosystems on Earth. River flow regimes are constantly changing, but characterizing and understanding such changes have been challenging from a long-term and global perspective. By analyzing water extent variations observed from four-decade Landsat imagery, we here provide a global attribution of the recent changes in river regime to morphological dynamics (e.g., channel shifting and anabranching), expansion induced by new dams, and h…

Pyrethroid pesticides are one of the most important groups of pesticides used to reduce the pest population that cause farmers significant economic loss. Apart from that, it is widely used to control domestic insects and to care for animals. However, it is not soluble in water, it accumulates over time in food items that are directly consumed by humans and animals. Through surface runoff, it ends up in water bodies, where these yrethroid pesticides are very harmful to fish, crabs, lobsters, a…

Matched topics: hydrologic model, land surface model
Abstract. High-resolution large-scale predictions of hydrologic states and fluxes are important for many multi-scale applications, including water resource management. However, many of the existing global- to continental-scale hydrological models are applied at coarse resolution and neglect more complex processes such as lateral surface and groundwater flow, thereby not capturing smaller-scale hydrologic processes. Applications of high-resolution and physically based integrated hydrological m…

Abstract Irrigation is the largest human intervention in the water cycle that can modulate climate extremes, yet irrigation water use (IWU) remains largely unknown in most regions. Microwave remote sensing offers a practical way to quantify IWU by monitoring changes in soil moisture caused by irrigation. However, high‐resolution satellite soil moisture data is typically infrequent (e.g., 6–12 days) and thus may miss irrigation events. This study evaluates the ability to quantify IWU by assimi…
