Abstract. When the nutrient level in the soil surpasses vegetation demand, nutrient losses due to surface runoff and subsurface leaching are the major reasons for the deterioration of water quality. The lower Mississippi River basin (LMRB) is one of the sub-basins that deliver the highest nitrogen loads to the Gulf of Mexico. Potential changes in episodic events induced by hurricanes may exacerbate water quality issue in the future. However, uncertainties in modeling the hydrologic response t…

Abstract Background The European Union is reformulating key water management directives: the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD) and the Water Framework Directive. The UWWTD update mandates extended removal of nutrients and stricter limits on micropollutants, primarily at wastewater treatment plants with a constructed capacity above 10 000 population equivalents. The revised Environmental Quality Standards Directive expands the list of regulated pollutants and lowers permissible conc…

. Here we present the results of a multi-taxon global freshwater fauna assessment for The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species covering 23,496 decapod crustaceans, fishes and odonates, finding that one-quarter are threatened with extinction. Prevalent threats include pollution, dams and water extraction, agriculture and invasive species, with overharvesting also driving extinctions. We also examined the degree of surrogacy of both threatened tetrapods and freshwater abiotic factors (water stre…

High spatial resolution of satellite-based soil moisture (SM) data are essential for hydrological, meteorological, ecological, and agricultural studies. Especially, for watershed hydrological simulation and crop water stress analysis, 1-km resolution SM data have attracted considerable attention. In this study, a dual-polarization algorithm (DPA) for SM estimation is proposed to produce a global-scale, 1-km resolution SM dataset (S1-DPA) using the Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) dat…

Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, streamflow, water management, land surface model
Abstract. Global hydrological models are one of the key tools that can help meet the needs of stakeholders and policy makers when water management strategies and policies are developed. The primary objective of this paper is therefore to establish a first-of-its-kind, truly global hyper-resolution hydrological model that spans a multiple-decade period (1985–2019). To achieve this, two key limitations are addressed, namely the lack of high-resolution meteorological data and insufficient repres…
Review of gridded climate products and their use in hydrological analyses reveals overlaps, gaps, and the need for a more objective approach to selecting model forcing datasets
Authors: Kyle R. Mankin, Sushant Mehan, Timothy R. Green, David M. Barnard
Journal: Hydrology and earth system sciences · DOI: 10.5194/hess-29-85-2025 · Citations: 28
Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, streamflow, land surface model
Abstract. Climate forcing data accuracy drives performance of hydrologic models and analyses, yet each investigator needs to select from among the numerous gridded climate dataset options and justify their selection for use in a particular hydrologic model or analysis. This study aims to provide a comprehensive compilation and overview of gridded datasets (precipitation, air temperature, humidity, wind speed, solar radiation) and considerations for historical climate product selection criteri…
Unravelling groundwater–stream connections over the continental United States
Authors: Chen Yang, Laura E. Condon, R. M. Maxwell
Journal: Nature Water · DOI: 10.1038/s44221-024-00366-8 · Citations: 27
Matched topics: hydrology, streamflow, land surface model, earth system model
Groundwater is a critical component of the terrestrial water cycle, yet the distance and depth of its connections with streamflow remain unquantified at large scale. Here we conducted a backward-particle-tracking simulation across the continental United States. We quantified the lateral length and vertical depth of groundwater flow discharged to streams as baseflow. Our simulation results suggest that water may travel longer distances underground before emerging in a stream than previously th…
Morphometric and land use land cover analysis for the management of water resources in Guder sub-basin, Ethiopia
Authors: Rahel Gezahegn, Filagot Mengistu

Morphometric analysis is essential for understanding the surface hydrological processes within a watershed. It enables the prediction of runoff and infiltration patterns, assesses soil erosion risks, and helps in the planning of effective water resource management practices. The integrated approach of morphometric analysis and land use land cover (LULC) analysis is vital for addressing water resource challenges and ensuring the sustainable management of watersheds. The present study aims to m…

Sources and Pathways of PFAS Occurrence in Water Sources: Relative Contribution of Land-Applied Biosolids in an Agricultural Dominated Watershed
Authors: Lynda Godwin Peter, Linda Lee
Journal: Environmental Science & Technology · DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.4c09490 · Citations: 26
Matched topics: streamflow, surface water
This study evaluated PFAS occurrence in rural well water and surface water relative to land application of biosolids in a tile-drained agriculture-dominated watershed. Spatial data were used to identify potentially vulnerable rural wells based on their proximity to biosolid-permitted land and location with respect to groundwater flow. Water was collected from 103 private wells in Greater Tippecanoe County Indiana and 168 surface water locations within the Region of the Great Bend of the Wabas…

Matched topics: hydrology, land surface model, earth system model
Land use and land cover (LULC) change, driven by environmental and human activities, significantly impacts ecosystems, climate, biodiversity, and socio-economic systems. This study focuses on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Pakistan, a region with sensitive ecosystems and diverse landscapes, to analyze LULC dynamics and their environmental consequences. Based on Landsat imagery from 2000, 2010, and 2020, we used the Random Forest algorithm on Google Earth Engine (GEE) to classify LULC, and the CA-A…
