The utilisation of renewable energy has surged over the past decades due to shifts in climate patterns and the diminishing reserves of fossil fuels. Among the renewables, hydrogen energy has emerged as a promising clean energy carrier in recent years. In the hydrogen industry, storage faces a notable hurdle due to the relatively low density of hydrogen gas (0.0813 kg/m³ at 25°C and 1 atm) and its lower storage density (7-27 kg/m³ at 25°C and 100-400 atm). As a potential remedy, underground hy…

Tetracycline antibiotics are widely used in human medical treatment, control of animal disease, and agricultural feed because of their broad spectrum of action, high efficiency, and low cost. The excessive use of antibiotics and arbitrary discharge of antibiotic wastewater have become increasingly serious problems, and the current sewage-treatment process is not ideal for treating water contaminated with tetracycline antibiotics, leading to increasingly prominent antibiotic pollution in water…

Journal: Agricultural Water Management · DOI: 10.1016/j.agwat.2024.108827 · Citations: 28

Matched topics: irrigation

Improving crop water productivity (WP) in the face of drought conditions and optimizing water allocation for irrigated crops are critical steps toward mitigating the challenges associated with agricultural water use. To investigate the effects of regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) at different growth stages on maize yield and WP, a 4-year field experiment was conducted on spring maize under film drip irrigation from 2016 to 2019 in an arid region of northwest China. RDI significantly reduced …


Hydrological Processes, Snow Dynamics, and Remote Sensing

This theme encompasses 8 papers advancing understanding of hydrological processes through field observations, modeling, and remote sensing. Research covers snow distribution and dynamics in cold regions, forest-hydrology interactions, land use change impacts on river systems, rainfall-runoff modeling uncertainty, and satellite-based monitoring of terrestrial water resources.

Ultralow-power optoelectronic synaptic transistors based on polyzwitterion dielectrics for in-sensor reservoir computing

Authors: Xiaosong Wu, Shuhui Shi, Baoshuai Liang, Yu Dong, Rumeng Yang, Ruiduan Ji et al.

Matched topics: reservoir

Bio-inspired transistor synapses use solid electrolytes to achieve low-power operation and rich synaptic behaviors via ion diffusion and trapping. While these neuromorphic devices hold great promise, they still suffer from challenges such as high leakage currents and power consumption, electrolysis risk, and irreversible conductance changes due to long-range ion migrations and permanent ion trapping. In addition, their response to light is generally limited because of “exciton-polaron quenchi…


Sustained increase in suspended sediments near global river deltas over the past two decades

Authors: Xuejiao Hou, D. Xie, Lian Feng, Fang Shen, J. Nienhuis

Journal: Nature Communications · DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-47598-6 · Citations: 61

Matched topics: river

River sediments play a critical role in sustaining deltaic wetlands. Therefore, concerns are raised about wetlands’ fate due to the decline of river sediment supply to many deltas. However, the dynamics and drivers of suspended sediment near deltaic coasts are not comprehensively assessed, and its response to river sediment supply changes remains unclear. Here we examine patterns of coastal suspended sediment concentration (SSC) and river sediment plume area (RPA) for 349 deltas worldwide usi…

How future changes in irrigation water supply and demand affect water security in a Mediterranean catchment

Authors: Joris Eekhout, I. Delsman, Jantiene Baartman, M. van Eupen, C. van Haren, Sergio Contreras et al.

Journal: Agricultural Water Management · DOI: 10.1016/j.agwat.2024.108818 · Citations: 42

Matched topics: hydrology, hydropower, irrigation

It is likely that climate change will increase irrigation water demand and, consequently, reduces water security in the Mediterranean Basin if current irrigation supply and demand conditions are maintained. Climate change adaptation can be achieved by (1) decreasing irrigation water demand through more efficient irrigation techniques, (2) increasing irrigation water supply by adopting new technological advances, (3) converting to rainfed agriculture, and (4) implementation of Nature-based Sol…

Authors: Matthias Sprenger, Rosemary Carroll, David W. Marchetti, Carleton R. Bern, Harsh Beria, W.S. Brown et al.

Journal: Hydrology and earth system sciences · DOI: 10.5194/hess-28-1711-2024 · Citations: 19

Matched topics: hydrology, runoff, streamflow

Abstract. About 80 % of the precipitation at the Colorado River’s headwaters is snow, and the resulting snowmelt-driven hydrograph is a crucial water source for about 40 million people. Snowmelt from alpine and subalpine snowpack contributes substantially to groundwater recharge and river flow. However, the dynamics of snowmelt progression are not well understood because observations of the high-elevation snowpack are difficult due to challenging access in complex mountainous terrain as well …
