Global water stocks and fluxes are estimated empirically and with computer models, but this information is conveyed to policymakers and researchers through water cycle diagrams. Here we compiled a synthesis of the global water cycle, which we compared with 464 water cycle diagrams from around the ...
Compounding Impacts of Human-Induced Water Stress and Climate Change on Water Availability The terrestrial phase of the water cycle can be seriously impacted by water management and human water use behavior (e.g., reservoir operation, and irrigation withdrawals). Here we outline a method for assess...
While human water use can significantly exacerbate climate change impacts on water availability, if managed well, it allows societies to react and adapt to a changing climate. The methodology we present offers a unique avenue for linking climatic and hydrologic processes to water resource supply and...
Human waste refers to the excreta produced by humans, which can contain a variety of enteric pathogens leading to diseases such as gastroenteritis, cholera, and typhoid. When treated in on-site wastewater systems like septic tanks, there is a risk of contaminating groundwater with these harmful ...

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,... - 《...
However, the impacts of human activities on runoff changes can be restored by corresponding measures. Attribution analysis of runoff changes can help us identify which activities have caused runoff changes so that appropriate water resource management measures can be taken to restore runoff. Additionally...
