The fabulous Montjuic Magic Fountain is usually part of the Barcelona Christmas lights with a special Christmas water and music display in December between 8pm and 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays in December and early January, but in 2023 the fountain is closed due to prolonged drought conditions. ...
Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) studies, while detecting the high subsidence rates affecting the Alto Guadalentín Basin, also identified a delayed transient of nonlinear compaction of the Alto Guadalentín aquifer due to the 1990–1995 drought period4. This suggested a relationship be...

In addition, aquifers exchange water with surface-water bodies, which is essential to maintain water-dependent ecosystems and river flow during drought periods. The chemical nature of the recharge waters that feed aquifers is highly variable, and there are large differences in flow and solute ...
and the third one in a ten-year horizon (WEF2023). In the Mediterranean region, in particular, concerns about water scarcity are growing, and the topic has become part of the public discussion due to ongoing drought events. In this scenario, Lucca et al. (2023) argue that the holistic ...
In our modelling work, we considered the temperature- and precipitation-related bioclimatic drivers of fire events. The summer months in Spain over the last decades have witnessed a major increase in extreme heat waves and drought conditions [55,56]. Our analysis showed that fires are driven by...
The Lmo map for the second melting cycle of this year (Figure 6(c-2)) took place during the winter months. Therefore, the colder temperature during this month reduced the number of wet snow pixels during this cycle (non-white pixels in the Lmo maps). Again, the pixels at a lower ...
we used an LU/LC map from Copernicus dated 2018. Changes in land use and land cover may have occurred, though not drastically. Additionally, the LU/LC map does not differentiate between the different types of UGI in the city. Therefore, we had to use the data of UGI sites that were st...
Hydrogeological mapping: this map has been made considering the characterization of the materials from the point of view of lithology and hydraulic parameters. For this purpose, the three previous areas have been reclassified according to the degree of alteration (high, medium and low) and type of...
Inland, the climate is markedly continental with low winter temperatures, high summer temperatures, and long periods of summer drought. The Atlantic strip, however, has an oceanic climate with more moderate temperatures and abundant rainfall [65]. 2.2. Cx. pipiens Habitat Suitability Modelling 2.2....
