Air masses that travel across large bodies of water often pick up a substantial amount of water vapor. In the case of an ocean, the air mass may contain considerably more moisture when it reaches the far shore. Therefore, the climate of such coastal regions tends to be wetter; the Pacific...
There have been many studies relating the effect of climate changes on surface water bodies. However, very little research exists on the potential effects of climate change on groundwater, although groundwater is the major source of drinking water across much of the world and plays a vital role...
Due to growing demands for food, wood products, energy, climate mitigation and biodiversity conservation, it is important to quantify the limitations to climate mitigation posed by insufficient water supply on the land and potentials for carbon accumulation in water bodies, including the ocean. Toward...
Because of the relevance of the GRB and FHP reservoir for the Brazilian hydropower system, in addition to the inconclusive insights for the region related to the impacts of climate changes on water resources, this study sought to (i) model the runoff of the GRB upstream Furnas, covering the ...
A 'Water Pollution Cause' refers to the factors such as industrialization, urbanization, and contaminated soil that introduce harmful chemicals into water bodies, threatening the ecosystem and all forms of life dependent on water. AI generated definition based on: Green Chemistry Approaches to Environme...
Therefore, climate change impacts soil erosion mainly through changes of rainfall, vegetation, and crop management practices. The impacts can be either positive or negative. The magnitude of climate change impacts and the offset effect of different factors still remain unclear and difficult to predict...

The effects of climate on soil-water balance can be measured through the soil-water budget (Fig. 11.2), which is equal to the gain, loss, and storage of soil water in a column of soil (Thornthwaite and Mather, 1955; Strahler and Strahler, 1989). There are several components of the soi...
Daniel A. Vallero, in Water and Climate Change, 2022 5.10 Treating contaminated ground water Ground water can be treated by drilling recovery wells to pump contaminated groundwater to the surface. Commonly used groundwater treatment approaches include air stripping, filtering with granulated activated ...
—and shows how lake systems are responding to the ongoing climate change. Methods Lake masks Shapefiles for the global lakes (natural and artificial) were obtained from the HydroLAKES dataset28, which contains 1,427,688 water bodies that are 0.1 km2or larger. In this study, we included...
