River water regime is continuously in motion and in interaction with many natural and human-induced factors. Human interventions, especially over the last two centuries, caused the natural water regime in most rivers to become substantially and irreparably disturbed. River training, floodplain ...
1). Thus, an accurate assessment of climate change impacts on water resources availability in this region requires explicit consideration of the dynamic human interactions19. During the past century, Melbourne has suffered several major water crises and severe droughts. The most extreme was the well...
Impacts of human activities and climate change on the water environment of Lake Poyang Basin, China The global mean temperature has risen by 0.85 掳C from 1880 to 2012, and this increase may even accelerate in the future. The surface temperatures of large... X Li,Z Lu,G Yang,... - 《...

Here, we provide a holistic review of water and sediment transport and examine the human impacts on the flux, concentration and size of sediment in the Yangtze River in recent decades. We find that most of the fluvial sediment has been trapped in reservoirs, except for the finest portion. ...
They found no significant streamflow trends at reference watersheds and attributed it to the vegetation growth under elevated CO2 concentration that negatively impacts water availability in the region. Overall, we found a declining trend in the groundwater (Fig. 3), whereas the surface water (...
groundwater ions, the ions in groundwater primarily originate from the dissolution of halite, gypsum, and feldspar, while dolomitization promotes an increase in Mg2+. Human activities lead to an increase in NO3−in groundwater and have an impact on water quality and human health risks. The I...
There are also human impacts on groundwater chemistry that show spatial differences. Groundwater from the central and northeastern rural area have the lowest mineralization and temperatures, predominant water-rock interactions and nearly pristine conditions. Groundwater from urban Tecate and Rumorosa ...
Fig. 4: Conceptual diagram of the approaches used to examine forest change impacts on water yield in this study. The classical paired-watershed experiments (PWE) focus on the effect of the abrupt forest change on water yields, whereas the effects of natural growth on water yields are highlighte...
Groundwater is consumed by a large number of people as their primary source of drinking water globally. Among all the countries worldwide, nations in South Asia, particularly India and Bangladesh, have severe problem of groundwater arsenic (As) contamination so are on our primary focus in this...
