Matched topics: irrigation
In recent years, excessive use of freshwater and untreated wastewater for agricultural irrigation has exerted increasing pressure on environmental and natural resources. Hence, this study aimed to identify the influencing factors on Iranian farmers’ intention to use Treated Wastewater (TWW) for irrigation in the agricultural sector. The research framework combines two theories: the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The study employed a survey method u…
Hydrological Processes, Snow Dynamics, and Remote Sensing
This theme encompasses 11 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.
Towards a global understanding of tree mortality
Authors: International Tree Mortality Network
Journal: New Phytologist · DOI: 10.1111/nph.20407 · Citations: 39
Matched topics: earth system model
Summary Rates of tree mortality are increasing globally, with implications for forests and climate. Yet, how and why these trends vary globally remain unknown. Developing a comprehensive assessment of global tree mortality will require systematically integrating data from ground‐based long‐term forest monitoring with large‐scale remote sensing. We surveyed the metadata from 466 865 forest monitoring plots across 89 countries and five continents using questionnaires and discuss the potential t…

There are no approved treatments for post-COVID-19 condition (also known as long COVID), a debilitating disease state following SARS-CoV-2 infection that is estimated to affect tens of millions of people. A growing body of evidence shows that SARS-CoV-2 can persist for months or years following COVID-19 in a subset of individuals, with this reservoir potentially driving long-COVID symptoms or sequelae. There is, therefore, an urgent need for clinical trials targeting persistent SARS-CoV-2, an…
Streamflow projections under climate change framework for the Mahanadi River catchment, India
Authors: Ramgopal T. Sahu, Sagar D. Turkane, Upaka Rathnayake
Journal: Journal of Water and Climate Change · DOI: 10.2166/wcc.2025.693 · Citations: 15
Matched topics: hydrology, river, streamflow, climate change
ABSTRACT Thirteen GCMs under Coupled Model Intercomparison Project-6 were analysed against IMD grid data using compromise programming (CP) to identify the optimal model. This innovative multi-criteria decision-making approach balances competing performance metrics to enhance model selection. The CP matrix indicated that the MPI-ESM1-2-HR model optimally simulates streamflow using the IMD-calibrated data. This study also examines basin hydrology and development impacts, emphasizing spatiotempo…
Blending 2D topography images from the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission into the altimeter constellation with the Level-3 multi-mission Data Unification and Altimeter Combination System (DUACS)

Abstract. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission delivers unprecedented swath-altimetry products. Despite SWOT’s 2D coverage and precision, its Level-2 ocean products suffer from the same limitations as their counterparts from nadir altimetry missions. To achieve the mission’s primary science objectives, the space agencies generate Level-2 ocean products with SWOT alone. In contrast, some research domains and applications require consistent multi-mission observations, such as t…
Quantifying Climate Change Impacts on Hydrological Dynamics and Sedimentation Using GIS and SWAT + Modelling

ABSTRACT Climate change significantly impacts natural hydrological systems worldwide, affecting water availability and sedimentation dynamics. The upper Indus Basin is one of the most crucial basins in South Asia, which is undergoing severe climatic variations, resulting in extreme flooding. This study examines the impact of climate change on the hydrological cycle, water availability, and sedimentation dynamics in the Shyok River basin in the Karakoram region. The study focuses on investigat…
Incorporating Transformation Products for an Integrated Assessment of Antibiotic Pollution and Risks in Surface Water.
Authors: Jingrun Hu, Yitao Lyu, Yi Liu, Xiuqi You, D. Helbling, Weiling Sun
Journal: Environmental Science and Technology · DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.4c12926 · Citations: 27

The widespread presence of antibiotics in aquatic ecosystems is a global challenge, yet the occurrence and risks associated with their transformation products (TPs) remain poorly understood. This study investigated the occurrence and potential risks of antibiotics and their TPs in water along the Chaobai River in Beijing. We used high-resolution mass spectrometry and an integrated target, suspect, and nontarget screening approach to identify 21 parent antibiotics and 78 TPs among 90 water sam…
Microplastic pollution in Pearl River networks: Characteristic, potential sources, and migration pathways.

Journal: Water Research · DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2025.123261 · Citations: 28
Matched topics: river
Microplastic (MP) pollution has become a global environmental problem with profound impacts on aquatic ecosystems. Although the topic of MPs has attracted high attention, the sources, transport pathway, and removal of MPs in river networks is still unclear. Here, we conducted a field survey across the Pearl River Basin (PRB) (> 4.5 × 105 km2) and collected the water samples to characterize the spatial distribution of MPs using a Laser Direct Infrared (LDIR) chemical imaging system. The MPs we…

ABSTRACT Soil loss due to land transformations is a serious issue confronting the globe nowadays. The research’s main focus was to predict future land use and land cover (LULC) and quantify soil loss, which is exacerbated by excessive rainfall following uneven topography, intensive agriculture, and a lack of adequate watershed management strategies. The Landsat satellite data were classified using maximum likelihood algorithm, and future LULC (2030 and 2040) was quantified using TerrSet Land …
