TL;DR: In this paper, a water-centric monthly scale simulation model (WaSSI-C) was developed by integrating empirical water and carbon flux measurements from the FLUXNET network and an existing water supply and demand accounting model, which was evaluated with basin-scale evapotranspiration (ET), gross ecosystem productivity (GEP), and net ecosystem exchange (NEE) estimates by multiple independent methods across 2103 eight-digit Hydrologic Unit Code watersheds in the conterminous United States from 2001 to 2006.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used an integrated water balance and flow routing model to evaluate the impacts of impervious cover and water withdrawal on river flow across the conterminous US at the 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) watershed scale.

TL;DR: Hu et al. as mentioned in this paper quantified urban tree transpiration at various temporal scales and examined the biophysical control of the transpiration pattern under different water conditions to understand how trees survive in an urban environment.

TL;DR: Long-term records of wildland fire, climate, and river flow for 168 locations across the United States show that fire increased annual river flow throughout the West, while prescribed burns in the subtropical Southeast had limited impact on river flow.

TL;DR: In this paper, watershed-scale measures of surface water supply stress for the coterminous United States (US) using the Water Supply Stress Index (WaSSI) model which considers regional trends in both water supply and demand.
