Abstract. Droughts are often long-lasting phenomena, without a distinct start or end and with impacts cascading across sectors and systems, creating long-term legacies. Nevertheless, our current perceptions and management of droughts and their impacts are often event-based, which can limit the effective assessment of drought risks and reduction of drought impacts. Here, we advocate for changing this perspective and viewing drought as a hydrological–ecological–social continuum. We take a syste…

South America is experiencing severe impacts from climate change. Although the warming of the subcontinent closely follows the global path, the rise of temperatures has been more pronounced in some regions, which have also seen a parallel increment in the occurrence of droughts and weather conditions associated with enhanced fire risk. Here, we use reanalysis datasets to analyze the progression of the concurring warm, dry, and high fire risk conditions (i.e., dry compounds) since 1971. We sho…

The assessment of soil health relies on key parameters such as soil aggregates and organic matter content. Therefore, examining the impact of irrigation water ion composition and variations in salinity on soil aggregates and organic matter is imperative, which is key to developing a theoretical basis for the sustainable utilization of saline water resources, particularly in extremely arid regions. This experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of different irrigation water salinity t…

Matched topics: water management, land surface model, irrigation
This study investigates the replacement of traditional surface irrigation methods with modern irrigation systems (MIS) including horizontal sprinkler, central pivot, surface drip, and subsurface drip aimed at improving water efficiency in the Nile Delta, Egypt. The primary objectives were to determine the optimal agricultural area for implementing MIS and to assess the effects of these systems on groundwater quantity and quality in the region. To achieve this, the LINDO software was employed …
Evolution of global water footprints of crop production in 1990–2019
Authors: Oleksandr Mialyk, Martijn J. Booij, Joep F. Schyns, Markus Berger
Journal: Environmental Research Letters · DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/ad78e9 · Citations: 24
Matched topics: land surface model
Abstract Crop production has the largest water footprint (WF) of all economic sectors and ranks as a leading cause of water scarcity. Despite this, our understanding of historical changes in global WFs of crops remains limited. In this study, we analyse the recently published dataset on green and blue WFs of 175 individual crops in 1990–2019. We explore the main changes in unit WFs (expressed in m 3 t −1 yr −1 ) and WFs of production (m 3 yr −1 ) and connect the observed changes to various ph…
Hydrological Processes, Snow Dynamics, and Remote Sensing
This theme encompasses 9 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.

Hydrological modeling using HEC-HMS model, case of Tikur Wuha River Basin, Rift Valley River Basin, Ethiopia
Authors: Jerjera Ulu Guduru, Ayatullah Shis Mohammed
Journal: Environmental Challenges · DOI: 10.1016/j.envc.2024.101017 · Citations: 22
Matched topics: hydrologic model, river, runoff
Modeling rainfall-runoff is widely recognized as one of the most complex types of hydrological modeling, primarily because it involves the integration of a diverse array of watershed characteristics. Due to its ability to emulate the hydrological behavior of a watershed, the modeling of rainfall-runoff plays a crucial role in predicting the runoff generated at the watershed’s outlet. The present study aimed to simulate runoff by utilizing HEC HMS in the Tikur Wuha River watershed situated in …
Stress testing climate change impacts on snow cover and streamflow in southeast Australia

• Snowfall-climate interactions increase computation for water resource assessments. • A new methodology balances snow dynamics and computational efficiency. • Using the method, we demonstrate a climate stress test on an Australian case study. • Adaptable approach suitable for climate change impact studies of water resources. This study addresses the impact of climate change on snowmelt and its implications for water supply in southeast Australia. Snow affects only a small proportion of mainl…
Calibrated Eckhardt’s filter versus alternative baseflow separation methods: A silica-based approach in a Brazilian catchment
Authors: Fernanda Helfer, Felipe Bernardi, Cláudia Alessandra Peixoto de Barros, Daniel Allasia, Jean Paolo Gomes Minella, Rutinéia Tassi et al.

Matched topics: hydrology, runoff, streamflow
• Eckhardt’s filter was calibrated for a Brazilian rural catchment using dissolved silica data. • An optimum BFI max value of 0.653 was derived, yielding long-term BFI = 54 %. • The calibrated Eckhardt’s filter outperformed three other separation models. • The ‘backward filter’ produced unrealistic baseflows, almost identical to stream flows. • Graphical method overestimated baseflow (+19 %); CM filter underestimated baseflow (−19 %). The Eckhardt’s filter, a recursive digital filter widely u…

Rootzone Soil Moisture Dynamics Using Terrestrial Water‐Energy Coupling
Authors: Vinit Sehgal, Binayak P. Mohanty, Rolf H. Reichle
Journal: Geophysical Research Letters · DOI: 10.1029/2024gl110342 · Citations: 14
Matched topics: hydrology, streamflow, land surface model
Abstract A lack of high‐density rootzone soil moisture ( θ RZ ) observations limits the estimation of continental‐scale, space‐time contiguous θ RZ dynamics. We derive a proxy of daily θ RZ dynamics — active rootzone degree of saturation ( S RZ ) — by recursive low‐pass (LP) filtering of surface soil moisture ( θ S ) within a terrestrial water‐energy coupling (WEC) framework. We estimate the LP filter parameters and WEC thresholds for the piecewise‐linear coupling between S RZ and evaporative…
