Matched topics: hydrologic model, runoff, streamflow, water management, irrigation
Irrigated agriculture is the dominant user of water globally, but most water withdrawals are not monitored or reported. As a result, it is largely unknown when, where, and how much water is used for irrigation. Here, we evaluated the ability of remotely sensed evapotranspiration (ET) data, integrated with other datasets, to calculate irrigation water withdrawals and applications in an intensively irrigated portion of the United States. We compared irrigation calculations based on an ensemble …

Spatial consistency of co-exposure to air and surface water pollution and cancer in China
Authors: Jingmei Jiang, Luwen Zhang, Zixing Wang, Wentao Gu, Cuihong Yang, Yubing Shen et al.
Journal: Nature Communications · DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-52065-3 · Citations: 30
Matched topics: surface water
Humans can be exposed to multiple pollutants in the air and surface water. These environments are non-static, trans-boundary and correlated, creating a complex network, and significant challenges for research on environmental hazards, especially in real-world cancer research. This article reports on a large study (377 million people in 30 provinces of China) that evaluated the combined impact of air and surface water pollution on cancer. We formulate a spatial evaluation system and a common g…
Removal of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) by coagulation: Influence of coagulant and dosing conditions

• PFAS removal by coagulation for four different coagulants followed the order Al > Fe > Zr > Zn. • For Al, the maximum removal of PFOA and PFOS was 23% and 56% • Macromolecular organic compounds contributed to an increase in PFAS removal. • The presence of low molecular weight organic matter inhibited the removal of PFAS. • PFAS in source water will end up in drinking water sludge with alum coagulants. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) pose significant risks to the environment and h…
Support Vector Machine Algorithm for Mapping Land Cover Dynamics in Senegal, West Africa, Using Earth Observation Data

The global drivers of wildfire
Authors: Olivia Haas, Theodore Keeping, José Gómez‐Dans, I. Colin Prentice, Sandy P. Harrison
Journal: Frontiers in Environmental Science · DOI: 10.3389/fenvs.2024.1438262 · Citations: 21
Matched topics: land surface model, earth system model
Changes in wildfire regimes are of growing concern and raise issues about how well we can model risks in a changing climate. Process-based coupled fire-vegetation models, used to project future wildfire regimes, capture many aspects of wildfire regimes poorly. However, there is now a wealth of information from empirical studies on the climate, vegetation, topography and human activity controls on wildfire regimes. The measures used to quantify these controls vary among studies, but certain va…
Multi-decadal fluctuations in root zone storage capacity through vegetation adaptation to hydro-climatic variability have minor effects on the hydrological response in the Neckar River basin, Germany

Journal: Hydrology and earth system sciences · DOI: 10.5194/hess-28-4011-2024 · Citations: 11
Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, streamflow, land surface model
Abstract. Climatic variability can considerably affect catchment-scale root zone storage capacity (Sumax), which is a critical factor regulating latent heat fluxes and thus the moisture exchange between land and atmosphere as well as the hydrological response and biogeochemical processes in terrestrial hydrological systems. However, direct quantification of changes in Sumax over long time periods and the mechanistic drivers thereof at the catchment scale are missing so far. As a consequence, …
Hydrographic shifts in coastal waters reflect climate-driven changes in hydrological regimes across Northwestern Patagonia

Matched topics: hydrologic model, runoff, streamflow, seasonal
Climate-driven changes in freshwater inputs have been shown to affect the structure and function of coastal ecosystems. We evaluated changes in the influence of river runoff on coastal systems of Northwestern Patagonia (NWP) over recent decades (1993–2021) by combined analysis of long-term streamflow time series, hydrological simulation, satellite-derived and reanalysis data on sea surface conditions (temperature, turbidity, and salinity). Significant decreases in minimum streamflow across a …
