Abstract Dryland agricultural regions face significant challenges due to soil and irrigation water salinity, which significantly affect crop yield. The high salt content in soil and irrigation water poses a significant risk to agriculture’s productivity and long‐term viability. Soil salinity hinders crop development by impeding water absorption, causing osmotic stress, and altering nutrient accessibility. Similarly, increased salt levels in irrigation water directly impact the water quality u…

Understanding the relationship between land use and water quality is crucial for effective river basin management, providing insights applicable to global water systems. While past studies have examined water quality in the Mekong River Basin, research specifically focusing on the Chi-Mun River Basin remains limited. This study analyz…

Journal: Earth s Future · DOI: 10.1029/2024ef005390 · Citations: 31
Matched topics: climate change
Abstract Soil erosion status is a comprehensive indicator reflecting the quality and stability of ecosystems. Soil erosion changes in China are becoming more unclear due to climate change and intensified human activity. Within the framework of climate change, this study treats the rainfall erosion factor as a dynamic factor and examines three types of contrasting precipitation—general, heavy, and extreme—through integrates the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation and Geographic Information Sy…

Study on the erosion patterns of high-strength injection-production strings under alternating operating conditions in gas storage reservoirs
Authors: Yang Tang, Shang Xiang, J. Wang, Ye Tian, Jinzhong Wang, Fang Wang
Journal: Physics of Fluids · DOI: 10.1063/5.0257696 · Citations: 30
Matched topics: reservoir
Underground gas storage reservoirs are vital to China’s energy infrastructure, facilitating natural gas peak shaving and supply security. However, cyclic alternating loads from significant pressure fluctuations during injection and production operations lead to severe erosion and wear of tubing strings, complicating safe operation. This study developed a custom jet flow gas–solid–liquid erosion experimental apparatus to analyze the effects of impact angle, impact velocity, and particle size o…
Glacier Coverage Dominates the Response of Runoff and Its Components to Climate Change in the Tianshan Mountains
Authors: Zelong Yang, Peng Bai, Yuan Tian, Xiaomang Liu
Journal: Water Resources Research · DOI: 10.1029/2024wr037947 · Citations: 17
Matched topics: hydrologic model, runoff, climate change
Abstract In the context of climate warming, runoff changes in the Tianshan Mountains vary widely across basins, with both increasing and decreasing trends. However, the underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated due to the complexity of the response of runoff components (rainfall runoff, snowmelt runoff, and glacier runoff) to climate change. Here, we quantified the effects of historical (1982–2015) precipitation and temperature changes on runoff and its components and projected future (20…
The Surface Water and Ocean Topography Mission (SWOT) Prior Lake Database (PLD): Lake Mask and Operational Auxiliaries
Authors: Jida Wang, C. Pottier, Cécile Cazals, Marjorie Battude, Yongwei Sheng, Chunqiao Song et al.
Journal: Water Resources Research · DOI: 10.1029/2023WR036896 · Citations: 26
Matched topics: surface water
Lakes are among the most prevalent and predominant water repositories on the Earth’s land surface. A primary objective of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission is to monitor surface water elevation, area, and storage change in lakes globally. To meet this objective, prior information on lakes, such as locations and benchmark extents, is required to organize SWOT’s KaRIn observations for computing lake storage variation over time. Here, we present the SWOT mission Pri…
Integrating Land Use/Land Cover and Climate Change Projections to Assess Future Hydrological Responses: A CMIP6-Based Multi-Scenario Approach in the Omo–Gibe River Basin, Ethiopia
Authors: Paulos Lukas, Assefa M. Melesse, Tadesse Tujuba Kenea
Journal: Climate · DOI: 10.3390/cli13030051 · Citations: 14
Matched topics: hydrology, river, land surface model, climate change
It is imperative to assess and comprehend the hydrological processes of the river basin in light of the potential effects of land use/land cover and climate changes. The study’s main objective was to evaluate hydrologic response of water balance components to the projected land use/land cover (LULC) and climate changes in the Omo–Gibe River Basin, Ethiopia. The study employed historical precipitation, maximum and minimum temperature data from meteorological stations, projected LULC change fro…
Spatial and Seasonal Variations in Abundance, Distribution Characteristics, and Sources of Microplastics in Surface Water of Mula River in Pune, India.
Authors: Meenakshi Verma, Pooja Singh, Vishal Pradhan, M. Dhanorkar
Journal: Environmental Pollution · DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2025.126091 · Citations: 17
Matched topics: river, seasonal, surface water
Microplastics are one class of widely prevalent emerging contaminants that have a detrimental effect on ecosystems and human health. The status of microplastic pollution in rivers in Western India is not well documented, making it difficult for establishing monitoring policies and guidelines. Mula river in Pune is a lifeline for the numerous industries and residential establishments in the city and hence monitoring the health of the water of Mula river is of great societal relevance. This inv…

Competing Effects of Vegetation Greening‐Induced Changes in Summer Evapotranspiration and Precipitation on Water Yield in the Yangtze River Basin Based on WRF Simulations

Journal: Water Resources Research · DOI: 10.1029/2024wr038663 · Citations: 13
Matched topics: hydrologic model, river, land surface model
Abstract Remarkable vegetation greening has been observed in the Yangtze River Basin (YRB) during the past two decades, triggering noteworthy hydrological consequences. Previous studies have assessed the hydrological effect of vegetation greening but ignored the vegetation‐precipitation feedbacks from land‐atmosphere interactions. To address this knowledge gap, here we conduct coupled land‐atmosphere model simulations prescribed with satellite vegetation observations to investigate how vegeta…

Elucidating the influence of land use patterns on surface water quality is crucial for effective watershed management. Despite numerous studies in individual watersheds, factors influencing water quality in diverse geographical environments are less understood due to data and methodological constraints in large-scale studies. This study employs Interpretable Machine Learning (IML) to explore the drivers of water quality variations across 234 watersheds in China. Results reveal that urban land…
