Compound drought-heatwaves (CDHWs) accelerate the warming and drying of soils, triggering soil compound drought-heatwaves (SCDHWs) that jeopardize the health of soil ecosystems. Nevertheless, the behavior of these events worldwide and their responses to climatic warming are underexplored. Here, we show a global escalation in the frequency, duration, peak intensity, and severity of SCDHWs, as well as an increase in affected land area, from 1980 to 2023. The increasing trends, which are particu…

Abstract A changing climate, with intensifying precipitation may contribute to increasing failures of dams by overtopping. We present the first analysis of rainfall sequences and events associated with recent hydrologic failures of 552 dams in the United States. We find that the maximum 1-day rainfall associated with failure was often not extreme compared to dam spillway design criteria, even when accounting for rainfall statistics changing with time at each site. However, the combination of …

Abstract Knowing the depth at which groundwater can be found below the land surface is critical for understanding its potential accessibility by ecosystems and society. Uncertainty in global scale water table depth (WTD) limits our ability to assess groundwater’s role in a water cycle altered by changing climate, land cover, and human water use. Global groundwater models offer a top–down pathway to gain this knowledge, but their uncertainty is currently poorly quantified. Here, we investigate…

Characterizing nonlinear, nonstationary, and heterogeneous hydrologic behavior using ensemble rainfall–runoff analysis (ERRA): proof of concept
Authors: James W. Kirchner
Journal: Hydrology and earth system sciences · DOI: 10.5194/hess-28-4427-2024 · Citations: 26
Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, runoff, streamflow
Abstract. A classical approach to understanding hydrological behavior is the unit hydrograph and its many variants, but these often assume linearity (runoff response is proportional to effective precipitation), stationarity (runoff response to a given unit of rainfall is identical, regardless of when it falls), and spatial homogeneity (runoff response depends only on spatially averaged precipitation). In the real world, by contrast, runoff response is typically nonlinear, nonstationary, and s…

Flood vulnerability map of the Bagmati River basin, Nepal: a comparative approach of the analytical hierarchy process and frequency ratio model
Authors: Sushmita Malla, Koichiro OHGUSHI
Journal: Smart Construction and Sustainable Cities · DOI: 10.1007/s44268-024-00041-7 · Citations: 21
Matched topics: hydrology, river, flood
Abstract The analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and frequency ratio model (FR), along with the integration of GIS, have proven to be successful approaches for assessing flood-prone areas. However, in Nepal flood vulnerability mapping based on GIS decision analysis is limited. Thus, this study focused on comparing the data-driven FR method and expert knowledge-based AHP technique in a GIS environment to prepare a flood vulnerability map for the Bagmati River basin, helping to explore the gap i…

Surface water potential zones delineation and spatiotemporal variation characteristics of water pollution and the cause of pollution formation in Brahmani River Basin, Odisha
Authors: Abhijeet Das
Journal: HydroResearch · DOI: 10.1016/j.hydres.2024.10.002 · Citations: 20
Matched topics: river, runoff, surface water
Waste water reuse is an effective method for reducing the quantity of wastewater that enters the environment. As a result, the appropriateness was assessed in accordance with its composition and the global criteria for drinking water quality. This study aims to evaluate the quality of surface water of Brahmani River, Odisha, by adapting multivariate statistical approaches, namely Cluster Analysis (CA) and multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods such as Simple Additive Weighting (SAW). A…
A global poleward shift of atmospheric rivers
Authors: Zhe Li, Qinghua Ding
Journal: Science Advances · DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adq0604 · Citations: 24
Matched topics: river, earth system model
Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are key agents in distributing extratropical precipitation and transporting moisture poleward. Climate models forced by historical anthropogenic forcing suggest an increase in AR activity in the extratropics over the past four decades. However, reanalyses indicate a ~6° to 10° poleward shift of ARs during boreal winter in both hemispheres, featuring a rise along 50°N and 50°S and a decrease along 30°N and 30°S. Our analysis demonstrates that low-frequency sea surface …

Subsurface influences on watershed nutrient concentrations and loading in a clay dominated agricultural system
Authors: Sarah Rixon, Hannah May, Elisha Persaud, Ahmed Elsayed, Jana Levison, Andrew Binns et al.
Journal: Journal of Hydrology · DOI: 10.1016/j.jhydrol.2024.132140 · Citations: 20
Matched topics: water management, surface water
• Nutrient concentrations and nutrient loading were greater in opposing seasons. • Nitrate and phosphorus loading were significantly related to subsurface mechanisms. • Stable isotopes of water were useful to identify flow paths relating to nutrient loss. Water quality issues in the Great Lakes Basin persist despite management and monitoring efforts. With changing land use and climatic conditions, the need for improved understanding of nutrient loss from agricultural field to surface water is…
Nested Cross-Validation for HBV Conceptual Rainfall–Runoff Model Spatial Stability Analysis in a Semi-Arid Context
Authors: Mohamed El Garnaoui, Abdelghani Boudhar, Karima Nifa, Yousra El Jabiri, Ismail Karaoui, Abdenbi El Aloui et al.
Journal: Remote Sensing · DOI: 10.3390/rs16203756 · Citations: 10
Matched topics: hydrologic model, runoff, streamflow, water management
Accurate and efficient streamflow simulations are necessary for sustainable water management and conservation in arid and semi-arid contexts. Conceptual hydrological models often underperform in these catchments due to the high climatic variability and data scarcity, leading to unstable parameters and biased results. This study evaluates the stability of the HBV model across seven sub-catchments of the Oum Er Rabia river basin (OERB), focusing on the HBV model regionalization process and the …
Comparative analysis of event runoff coefficients and curve numbers in contrasting urban environments based on observed rainfall-runoff data
Authors: Mark Bryan Alivio, Matej Radinja, Mojca Šraj, Zoltán Gribovszki, Nejc Bezak
Journal: Journal of Hydrology · DOI: 10.1016/j.jhydrol.2024.132135 · Citations: 11
Matched topics: hydrology, runoff, streamflow
• Local rainfall-runoff data was used to derive the C and CN of two urban catchments. • C and CN exhibit variability across rainfall events. • Estimated mean C and asymptotic CN ∞ are lower than the tabulated values. • High-intensity and long-duration heavy storms lead to higher C and CN. • Initial soil moisture conditions influenced the variations of event C and CN. Recently, there has been a growing recognition that the generic values of runoff coefficient (C) and curve number (CN) from sta…
