Additionally, Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) initiatives, such as OpenStreetMap, can also be used to produce high-resolution surface water masks. In this study, we derive a high-resolution water mask using Landsat 8 imagery and OpenStreetMap as well as (potential) a drainage network ...
Rapid industrialization, urbanization, global warming, and climate change are compromising surface water quality across the globe. Consequently, water conservation is essential for both environmental sustainability and human survival. This study assesses
In spite of the increasing noise on the observed GRACE coefficients, the "land water" solutions, developed until degree 30 (600 km of spatial resolution) reveal important seasonal variations of the water mass (up to 200–300 mm of equivalent-water height) inside large drainage basins of the ...
lake during the dry season (~0.4 m month−1) compared to the wet season (~0.2 m month−1). Lake level decreased in the wet season due to the lowest groundwater inflow and the greatest evaporation rate. Based on the proportion of water entering a lake that leaves through evaporation, ...
The exclusive use of watersheds for the large-scale management of stream corridors, however, ignores the materials, energy, and organisms that move across and through landscapes independent of water drainage. A more complete large-scale perspective of the stream and river system management is ...
River water is more alkaline than groundwater. The main hydrogeochemical facies is the Ca + Mg-HCO3 type. Mg + 2, HCO3, Ni, WAWQI, TH, and MH exceed the permissible limits in both river and groundwater at a few locations, and TDS, Ca + 2, Cl-, F-, Mg/Ca, RSC, KR, PS, ...
Melting ice shelves around Antarctica control the massive input of freshwater into the ocean and play an intricate role in global heat redistribution. The Amery Ice Shelf regulates wintertime sea-ice growth and dense shelf water formation. We investigate
Fluctuations in the ground-water high were partially produced by the cycle of flooding of the Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area wetland pools in the fall and subsequent drainage so crops could be planted in many of the wetland pools. The cone of depression in the northern part of the study area...
Excavation and dumping of overburden within the channels has obstructed streamflow and altered water availability in the lower parts of small catchment basins. The surface drainage paths of ephemeral channels and flow accumulation by channel networks was estimated from digital elevation remote sensing ...
We identify the “unreliable topology” reaches by using the tidal water body information from the GRWL database and the global delta maps extent. After we define all reaches and nodes and assign them a topological id, we calculate several attributes for each reach and node, which are ...
