TL;DR: The commonly used approaches and sensors employed in evaluating and quantifying the eleven water quality parameters, including chlorophyll-a (chl-a), colored dissolved organic matters (CDOM), Secchi disk depth (SDD), turbidity, total suspended sediments (TSS), water temperature (WT), total phosphorus (TP), sea surface salinity (SSS), dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygendemand (COD).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied the Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to investigate the response of the headwater hydrology of the Mara River to scenarios of continued land use change and projected climate change.

TL;DR: In this paper, the application of random forest (RF) and maximum entropy (ME) models for groundwater potential mapping is investigated at Mehran Region, Iran and the results of the GPMs were quantitatively validated using observed groundwater dataset and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) method.

TL;DR: A multilayer perceptron (MLP) ANN with an error back propagation algorithm, using historical daily and weekly hydroclimatological data (precipitation P ( t ), current discharge Q ( t ), antecedent discharge Q( t −1), and antecient sediment load SL ( t − 1) ), is used to predict the suspended sediment load at the selected monitoring stations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed and implemented a simplified surface energy balance (SSEB) model to monitor and assess the performance of irrigated agriculture in Afghanistan using a combination of 1-km thermal data and 250-m Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data, both from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor.
