Abstract Extreme states of the North Atlantic Oscillation in summer can lead to severe weather events such as heatwaves and floods in Europe. But how these extremes evolve in response to climate change remains unexplored. Here we show that the statistical distribution of the summer North Atlantic Oscillation index grows wider with increasing global warming in large ensembles of climate change simulations as well as reanalysis data. Such an amplified variability of the summer North Atlantic Os…

Urban planners and engineers rely on historical climate data to plan and design flood protection infrastructure that should withstand extreme flooding events with 1% annual exceedance probability (the 100-year flood). Here, we examine how hourly precipitation extremes are expected to change as temperatures rise and how this will affect urban flooding. The changes to short-duration rainfall extremes, often insufficiently considered in practice, are addressed utilizing a new temperature conditi…

Abstract. Riverine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) plays a vital role in regional and global carbon cycles. However, the processes of DOC conversion from soil organic carbon (SOC) and leaching into rivers are insufficiently understood, inconsistently represented, and poorly parameterized, particularly in land surface and Earth system models. As a first attempt to fill this gap, we propose a generic formula that directly connects SOC concentration with DOC concentration in headwater streams, wh…

Abstract The Colorado River system is among the world’s most overallocated basins, struggling to supply water to the southwestern United States and Mexico. Consequently, 90% of the basin’s native fish species are endangered, threatened or extinct. Driven by a 24-year megadrought, the United States allocated over US$4 billion for drought mitigation, including water market transactions that pay farms, cities and industries to divert less water across the US Southwest. We developed a model of ho…

Abstract It is widely acknowledged that vegetation change can exert considerable influences on the hydrological processes. Vegetation change can be either natural or artificial. However, the specific effects of natural growth (NG) and artificial restoration (AR) of vegetation on surface hydrology remain unclear. Using a recently developed ecohydrological model, we demonstrate that NG and AR have contrasting spatial impacts on hydrological components across China’s Yellow River Basin, a hotspo…

Matched topics: hydrology, runoff, streamflow, flood
Abstract. Pristine peatlands are believed to play an important role in regulating hydrological extremes because they can act as reservoirs for rainwater and release it gradually during dry periods. Rewetting of drained peatlands has therefore been considered an important strategy to reduce the catastrophic effects of flooding. With the anticipation of more frequent extreme rainfall events in the future due to a changing global climate, the importance of peatland rewetting in flood mitigation …

decomposition at the hydrophobic surface. When adopted for UV-based water treatment, the photocatalytic system exhibited tenfold faster micropollutants photodegradation than the catalyst-free control and demonstrated superior robustness for treating contaminated tap water, lake water and secondary wastewater effluent. This immobilization strategy can also be extended to the fabrication of other photocatalytic membranes with diverse catalyst types and membrane substrate. Overall, our work open…
Dynamic response of soil water to rainfall for different runoff plots on a karst hillslope
Authors: Lei Chen, Keli Zhang, Guopeng Wang
Journal: Geoderma · DOI: 10.1016/j.geoderma.2025.117394 · Citations: 8
Matched topics: hydrology, runoff, water management
• The response of soil water to rainfall in different runoff plots on karst hillslopes was quantified. • Spatiotemporal differences in soil water were significantly affected by rainfall characteristics. • The differences in soil water storage in the runoff plots were controlled mainly by the amount of rainfall. • Grassland is suggested for soil ecological restoration and water conservation on karst hillslopes. Differences in land use on karst hillslopes inevitably lead to variations in the re…
A 1985–2023 time series dataset of absolute reservoir storage in Mainland Southeast Asia (MSEA-Res)

Matched topics: hydrologic model, streamflow, reservoir, water management
Abstract. The recent surge in reservoir construction has increased global surface water storage, with Mainland Southeast Asia (MSEA) being a significant hotspot. Such infrastructural evolution demands updates in water management strategies and hydrological models. However, information on actual reservoir storage is hard to acquire, especially for transboundary river basins. To date, no high-resolution spatiotemporal dataset on absolute storage time series is available for reservoirs in MSEA. …
Exploring the Main Driving Factors for Terrestrial Water Storage in China Using Explainable Machine Learning

Terrestrial water storage (TWS) is a critical component of the hydrological cycle and plays a key role in regional water resource management. The launch of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission in 2002 has provided precise measurements of TWS, enabling systematic investigations into its spatial pattern and driving mechanisms. However, a comprehensive evaluation of the spatial drivers of TWS variations across China is still lacking. In this study, we employed a …

The Kaidu River Basin in Xinjiang, China. This study is focused on simulating future climate and underlying surface changes using CMIP6 climate model data and the PLUS model, and modeling historical and future runoff in the study region using the Distributed Hydrology Soil Vegetation Model (DHSVM). The double cumulative curve method is applied to quantify the respective contributions of climate change and reservoir operations to runoff variation, and to reveal the mechanisms by which reservoi…

The Wainganga River Basin in Maharashtra, a critical component of the Godavari River system, faces increasing hydrological stress due to urbanization, land use changes, and climate variability. To address these challenges, this study employed the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) integrated with GIS to assess surface runoff dynamics and evaluate the watershed’s response under varied physiographic and climatic conditions. The main objective was to simulate hydrological processes—including …

1,3-Diphenylguanidine (DPG), benzotriazole (BTR), benzothiazole (BTH), N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD), and their derivatives are rubber additives (RAs) widely used in tires and various consumer products. Nevertheless, little is known about their occurrence in aquatic environments. We determined 17 RAs in 233 grab samples of water collected from New York State, USA, in 2024. The geometric mean concentration of ∑All (sum concentration of all 17 analytes) varied among …

The Heihe River Basin, China. Irrigation data are often from census surveys at coarse administrative or river basin scale, and as such, the amount of water used for agricultural irrigation difficult to quantify. We improve the Soil Moisture to Rain (SM2RAIN) method to estimate irrigation water use in the Heihe River Basin from 2003 to 2020 using thermal infrared and microwave satellite data. The results showed that this approach has satisfactory performance in estimating the annual irrigation…
