TL;DR: In this paper, multivariate statistical methods including cluster analysis (CA), discriminant analysis (DA), and component analysis/factor analysis (PCA/FA) were applied to explore the surface water quality datasets including 14 parameters at 28 sites of the Eastern Poyang Lake Basin, Jiangxi Province of China, from January 2012 to April 2015, characterize spatiotemporal variation in pollution and identify potential pollution sources.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a spatiotemporal evaluation of the changes in floods and associated socioeconomic damage in China over the last century, which revealed that 5-10-year flood were the main problem in flood disasters in China in recent decades.

TL;DR: Estimating loads of nutrients and suspended sediment in surface water play important roles in aquatic ecosystems and contribute strongly to water quality with implication for drinking water resources, human and environmental health and the methods described here provide essential information for effectively managing water resources.

TL;DR: The results indicate that nitrogen loading in most global rivers is proportional to the size of the river basin, and analysis of the model uncertainty suggests that the nitrate export in most rivers is sensitive to the amount of nitrogen leaching from agricultural lands.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present insights taken from an historical overview of Japanese and Chinese flood management policies in order to guide future flood risk management policy to better manage increasingly frequent extreme events and climate change.
