Accurate projections of flooding are critical to climate change adaptation, as floods are a devastating and costly natural disaster sensitive to climate. Floods occur mainly in response to extreme precipitation, and the northeastern United States has experienced a dramatic incre…

Climate change and human activities are already affecting water resources in the Great Lakes region. A further projected increase in high-intensity precipitation events may cause flooding and added stress on urban infrastructure. In addition to climate, land use may change to ac…
Global flood forecasting can benefit developing countries and ungauged regions that lack observational data, computational infrastructure, and human capacity for streamflow modeling. Many technical challenges exist to provide flood predictions on a global scale. First, existing …
Earth observation data is increasingly ubiquitous, easily accessible, freely available, and generally usable due to improvements in software, data standards, network infrastructure, and national policies. As a result, greater opportunities arise for using these data in a wider f…
A location-specific evaluation of hydrological landscape responses concerning past and projected climate and land use land cover (LULC) changes can provide a powerful intellectual basis for developing efficient and profitable agroecosystems, and overcoming uncertain and detrimen…
Three sites were chosen along Blacktail creek to compare sediment pore water chemistry. The sites were chosen to reflect a valley superfund site, a Beaver Mimicry Structure (BMS) restoration site, and a wetland with a natural/historical beaver dam. Sediment pore water diffusion …
The environmental impacts of COVID-19 and the “new normal” of working from home are being explored in the scientific community. However, there is currently no published study on the COVID-19 impacts to nitrate load via septic systems. This study aims to determine the increase of…
This paper investigates climate change impact on the water resources in the Greenbrier basin using a distributed hydrological model VIC and future climate series. The GCM outputs under the SRES A2 greenhouse gas emission scenario is downscaled and bias-corrected by the BCCAQ met…
Monthly unimpaired flow calculations have been at the heart of hydrologic forecasting and water management in California for decades. Yet only recently have daily unimpaired flow calculations been applied directly to state-level water management policy. In 2018, the California S…
Rivers transform more than half of the organic inputs they receive from terrestrial systems through metabolic processes. In addition to providing the energetic base to sustain stream food webs, these transformations are linked to multiple elemental cycles and result in the relea…
Sabkhat Matti forms a wide depression that extends from the coastline of western Abu Dhabi, in the north, approximately 125km south. The area has been studied with a view to investigating the impact that Quaternary climatic changes have had on the geology and geomorphology of mo…
The purpose of the study is to understand quantitatively the spatial distribution of groundwater recharge in the Sana'a Basin, Yemen i.e. irrigation recharge, wadi recharge and urban recharge and to assess the impact of these components on the groundwater quality. A combination …
Prior studies of groundwater systems have associated increasing salinity and anoxic conditions with increasing radium (Ra) activities in water due to the decreasing effectiveness of Ra removal processes. However, the components of salinity (e.g. Ca vs. Na and SO42- vs. Cl-domina…
Fresh water resources are critical for daily human consumption. Therefore, a continuous monitoring effort over their quantity and quality is instrumental. One important model for water quantity monitoring is the rainfall-runoff model, which represents the response of a watershed…
A pilot-scale constructed wetland treatment system (CWTS) was designed and built to produce biogeochemical conditions that promoted targeted processes for removal of arsenic from simulated groundwater. Two series were designed to promote co-precipitation and sorption of arsenic …
Aquatic macroinvertebrates are well-established biological indicators of water quality and a major component of water quality assessment of flowing waters because of their ability to detect and integrate natural and anthropogenic changes in physical and chemical habitat. The New…
We live in an era of big data, brought on by the advent of automatic large-scale data acquisition in many industries. Machine learning can be used to take advantage of large data sets, predicting otherwise unknown information from them. The Minnesota County Well Index (CWI) data…
The Karakoram mountains are situated at the western end of the trans- Himalayan Mountain belt. They are one of the most dynamically-active tectonic and geomorphic areas in the world. The valleys are among the deepest and hold some of the greatest thicknesses of Quaternary and re…
