Assessing watershed vulnerability to erosion and sedimentation: Integrating DEM and LULC data in Guyana's diverse landscapes

This study assesses watershed vulnerability to erosion and sedimentation in Guyana using Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) classification. It aims to assess erosion risk by...

Soil archaea response to the water table drawdown in freshwater wetlands in the Yellow River Estuary

Water table dynamics affect the diversity and community structure of archaea in coastal wetlands. However, how the soil archaeal community responds to the water table drawdown remains unexplored. Here,...

Application of electrical resistivity tomography for groundwater evaluation in Yirgacheffe Town and its environs, Main Ethiopian Rift

Exploring groundwater is crucial in areas with poor surface water quality, such as Yirgacheffe Town and its surroundings. This study aims to assess aquifer materials and groundwater potential using...

A multi-method and multi-duration trend analysis of temperature and precipitation in Istanbul, Turkey, by using meteorological records, MERRA-2 reanalysis, and IMERG estimations

In this study, temperature and precipitation trends in Istanbul were analyzed using data from a ground-based station for the 1960–2019 interval, Integrated Multi-SatellitE Retrievals for Global Precipitation...

A mini-review on clinical and epidemiological assessment of PAHs toxicity: Process of policy-making on a global scale

Growing anthropological inhabitants and unorganized cleaning and disposal leads to the widespread garbage and usable residues witnessed every here and there in the ecosystem, especially Polycyclic Aromatic...

Hydrogeochemical characterization and human health risks associated with groundwater nitrate concentrations in the Saiss basin, Morocco

Groundwater has been facing not only prolonged climate change-induced groundwater shortage but also severe deterioration of groundwater quality from natural and/or anthropogenic sources. This study...

Surface water quality evaluation, apportionment of pollution sources and aptness testing for drinking using water quality indices and multivariate modelling in Baitarani River basin, Odisha

Baitarani River, Odisha, faces serious deterioration due to massive human intervention. It is particularly susceptible to degradation because it receives industrial and waste water emissions from surrounding...

Prediction of runoff at ungauged areas employing interpolation techniques and deep learning algorithm

Most river basins across the world are ungauged, and just a handful are gauged. As a result, predicting runoff in an unmeasured watershed is a difficult problem for the researchers. This research takes...

A review of the data used to validate groundwater recharge maps created with GIS techniques over the past two decades

Groundwater recharge maps developed using GIS techniques are important tools that aid the identification of recharge zones. This map must be validated with field data. This study reviewed 63 articles...

Morphological changes in the offshore islands of Meghna estuary: Analysis of the erosion and accretion dynamics

This study examines the morphological changes of ten offshore islands in the Meghna estuary of Bangladesh over thirty years, from 1989 to 2019, utilizing remote sensing and Geographic Information System...

Construction of nitrogen and phosphorus flux of land-based pond mariculture: Taking the Xiangshan Bay as an example

The construction of nutrient flux can provide a scientific basis for understanding the fate in the aquaculture systems to facilitate sustainable coastal environment management. In this study, the tailwater...

Analysis of stationary and non-stationary hydrological extremes under a changing environment: A systematic review

Research on hydrological extremes has increased due to their increasing frequency and destructive power, with their non-stationarity attributed to human activities and climate change. To understand...

Trends and periodicities in Krishna Basin rainfall/extremes found via hierarchical analysis

Analysing the spatiotemporal changes in long-term rainfall and extreme events at a river basin scale is crucial for optimal water resource management. This study examines trends in long-term rainfall...

Resource to risk: Inter-decadal and sub-seasonal rainfall modulation over Saurashtra region in Western India

Climate change, recognized as the long-term change in atmospheric conditions is one of the most evident feature of 21st century. Limited studies on Saurashtra's rainfall variability underscore the need...

Exploring the cooling benefits of Urban Lakes: A multi-year analysis of Dhaka, Bangladesh

The historical and contemporary development of Dhaka city is predominantly unplanned, resulting in significant environmental deterioration. The lack of green and blue spaces and the built areas make...

Relationships between hydrological connectivity and river-lake ecospace in urban-rural areas

Hydrological connectivity refers to a water-mediated transfer of matter, energy, and organisms in the hydrological cycle and plays a key role in shaping river-lake ecospace and their relevant functions....

Model parameterization scheme for a distributed hydrological model, BTOPMC

A distributed hydrological model (BTOPMC) provides a distributed estimation of water balance components imperative for sustainable water resource management. The model employs numerous calibration parameters...

Potentialities and development of groundwater resources applying machine learning models in the extended section of Manbhum-Singhbhum Plateau, India

Groundwater is essential for living earth including ecosystem functioning and development of society worldwide. In recent times, demand and pressure on groundwater resources are progressively increasing...

Ecological consequences of microplastic pollution in sub-Saharan Africa aquatic ecosystems: An implication to environmental health

Microplastic pollution (MPs) emerged as a significant environmental concern due to its persistent nature. These MPs particles endure in waters, soils, and even the atmosphere, posing potential threats...
