A new world order has begun to appear since the early 1990s. The simplicity of interaction between individual states, based on the rivalry between the two superpowers, is gradually being replaced by new attitudes formed in a complex, uncertain and risky context. States still have a role, ...
There are millions of watersheds in the world - 2,100 small ones in the United States alone [source: NatureServe]. However, a watershed is more than just a piece of land that collects the rainwater and dumps it into the river. Anything that ends up in a watershed ends up in a body...

Only a few per cent of the world’s watersheds are gauged, and stream gauges are not distributed uniformly across the world. There is a strong correlation between national gross domestic product and the total publicly available streamflow observation data record in a given country (Extended Data ...
Urbanization is expected to reach 70% of the world’s population by 2050; in Brazil, 80% of the population already lives in urban areas. This surge in urban living has led to increased energy and water consumption, increased greenhouse gas emissions, and increased resource conflicts. The result...
rainfall, slope and forest cover are the key drivers of seasonal trends in natural watersheds, canals, impervious areas and dam storage dominate the responses in managed watersheds. Our findings of human-driven seasonal flow alterations highlight the need to develop adaptation strategies that ...
Watersheds in central and southern California, the Midwest, and the Southwest have the largest FEW blue water consumption and the greatest exposure to water stress. Nearly three-fifths of FEW production occurs in regularly water-stressed watersheds. FEW production in watersheds in the Great Plains...
