Abstract. Compound flood (CF) modeling enables the simulation of nonlinear water level dynamics in which concurrent or successive flood drivers synergize, producing larger impacts than those from individual drivers. However, CF modeling is subject to four main sources of uncertainty: (i) the initial condition, (ii) the forcing (or boundary) conditions, (iii) the model parameters, and (iv) the model structure. These sources of uncertainty, if not quantified and effectively reduced, cascade in …

Abstract The loss of agricultural nitrogen (N) is a leading cause of global eutrophication and freshwater and coastal hypoxia. Despite regulatory efforts, such as the European Union’s Nitrogen Directive, high concentrations of N persist in freshwaters. Excessive N leaching and accumulation in groundwater has created a substantial N reservoir as groundwater travel times are orders-of-magnitude slower than those of surface waters. In this study we reconstructed past and projected future N dynam…

[Image: see text] Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) make up a diverse group of industrially derived organic chemicals that are of significant concern due to their detrimental effects on human health and ecosystems. Although other technologies are available for removing PFAS, adsorption remains a viable and effective method. Accordingly, the current study reported a novel type of graphene oxide (GO)-based adsorbent and tested their removal performance toward removing PFAS from water. …

Matched topics: earth system model
Understanding the impacts of microplastics (MPs) on aqueous environments requires understanding their transport dynamics and how their presence affects other natural processes and cycles. In this context, one aspect to consider is how MPs interact with freshwater snow (FWS), a mixture of algae and natural particles. FWS is one of the primary drivers of the flux of organic matter from the water surface to the bottom sediment, where zooplankton, diurnal migration, fish faecal pellets settling a…

Matched topics: reservoir
Imbibition and huff-n-puff injection in shale reservoirs can significantly enhance oil recovery after depletion. To clarify the microscopic production characteristics and enhance the oil recovery mechanisms across different pore scales during imbibition and huff-n-puff injection, this study establishes an online physical simulation method that integrates imbibition and huff-n-puff using nuclear magnetic resonance and conducts a series of online nuclear magnetic resonance analyses under differ…
The influence of human activities on streamflow reductions during the megadrought in central Chile
Authors: Nicolás Álamos, Camila Álvarez-Garretón, Ariel A. Muñoz, Álvaro González‐Reyes
Journal: Hydrology and earth system sciences · DOI: 10.5194/hess-28-2483-2024 · Citations: 25
Matched topics: hydrologic model, runoff, streamflow
Abstract. Since 2010, central Chile has experienced a protracted megadrought with annual precipitation deficits ranging from 25 % to 70 %. An intensification of drought propagation has been attributed to the effect of cumulative precipitation deficits linked to catchment memory. Yet, the influence of water extractions on drought intensification is still unclear. Our study assesses climate and water use effects on streamflow reductions during a high-human-influence period (1988–2020) in four m…
Removal of microplastics from agricultural runoff using biochar: a column feasibility study
Authors: Boluwatife S. Olubusoye, J. Cizdziel, Kendall Wontor, Edward Heinen, Tony Grandberry, Erin R. Bennett et al.
Journal: Frontiers in Environmental Science · DOI: 10.3389/fenvs.2024.1388606 · Citations: 31
Matched topics: runoff
Plastics are extensively used in agriculture, but their weathering and degradation generates microplastics (MPs) that can be carried by runoff into water bodies where they can accumulate and impact wildlife. Due to its physicochemical properties, biochar has shown promise in mitigating contaminants in agricultural runoff. However, few studies have examined its effectiveness at removing MPs. In this study, we assessed MP pollution (>30 μm) in runoff from a farm in the Mississippi Delta and exa…

LamaH-Ice: LArge-SaMple DAta for Hydrology and Environmental Sciences for Iceland
Authors: H. Helgason, B. Nijssen
Journal: Earth System Science Data · DOI: 10.5194/essd-16-2741-2024 · Citations: 20
Matched topics: hydrology, streamflow
Abstract. Access to mountainous regions for monitoring streamflow, snow and glaciers is often difficult, and many rivers are thus not gauged and hydrological measurements are limited. Consequently, cold-region watersheds, particularly heavily glacierized ones, are poorly represented in large-sample hydrology (LSH) datasets. We present a new LSH dataset for Iceland, termed LamaH-Ice (LArge-SaMple DAta for Hydrology and Environmental Sciences for Iceland). Glaciers and ice caps cover about 10 %…
