They add that investments in water infrastructure need to address the complex interactions between humans and nature to ensure supply and quality. Topics include the severity of both water shortages and water pollution in communities across China and the authors' policy recommendations for water ...
Thus, understanding how the extent of dry season lengthening varies among definitions is necessary for more accurate assessments of the spatiotemporal variations in tropical seasonal water deficit, and for taking effective management measures to mitigate water shortages and associated ecosystem impacts in ...
