TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the performance of three methods for estimating vegetation effects on streamflow using data from paired catchments in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, and found that these methods generally yield consistent estimates of the vegetation effect, and most of the observed streamflow changes are attributable to vegetation change.

TL;DR: The Yellow River basin is a key food production centre of global importance facing rapidly growing water scarcity as mentioned in this paper, and the challenge will be to switch to improved water demand management, which is hampered by existing governance structures, and lack of integrated agriculture and water resource policies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the interannual evapotranspiration variability and water-energy balance at over 547 catchments across the contiguous United States in different climate zones.

TL;DR: In this paper, both sensitivity-based method and simulation method are used to analyze the streamflow response to climate variability and human activities in the upper catchment of the Yellow River Basin (UYRB) in a study.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential impacts of projected climate change on water, livelihoods and food security in the Basin Focal Projet basins were assessed using multi-global circulation model climate projections for the AR4 SRES A2a scenario.
