TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the wetland wealth of India in terms of their geographic distribution and extent, ecosystem benefits they provide, and the various stresses they are exposed to, and discussed the efforts at management of these fragile ecosystems, identifies the institutional vacuum and suggests priority area where immediate attention is required in order to formulate better conservation strategies for these productive systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, three categories of rivers (the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the interior) on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) were examined for their seasonal and long term change patterns.

TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of future water resources in the Zambezi basin are studied, based on World Bank projections that include large scale irrigation and new hydropower plants.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the influence of ATES on groundwater chemistry by means of a literature review, and a comparison of groundwater quality monitoring data at seven ATES systems with ambient groundwater quality values from 69 monitoring wells.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied a distribution-based scaling (DBS) procedure, with 1975-2004 as a reference period, for bias-correcting and downscaling daily rainfall data from nine global climate projections.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multivariate regression model of dissolved methane using only three variables (sodium, hardness, and barium) explained 77% of methane variability, further emphasizing the dominance of geochemistry and hydrogeology as controls on baseline methane patterns.

TL;DR: Lovino et al. as discussed by the authors presented an overview of the work of the Unidad de Investigaciones Hidroclimaticas (UnIDH) in Argentina.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the response of hydraulically connected groundwater and surface water systems to large water withdrawals in the Marcellus Shale, and quantified the potential effects of the withdrawal scenarios on both the water table and stream discharge.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the influence of regional faults on groundwater flow in an aquifer/aquitard interbedded succession that formed one of the largest Artesian basins in the world.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the effects of increased greenhouse gas concentrations on the relationship between rainfall and inflows in south-west Western Australia and find that a significant change in the relationship appears to have occurred and there is little evidence that increasing local temperatures alone can explain this changed relationship.

TL;DR: In this paper, a three parameter model based on variable source areas (VSAs) that does not require calibration within the region, was developed and tested, and was able to correctly predict VSAs at all three monitoring sites, indicating that saturation-excess runoff is important in these watersheds.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented simple multivari- ate power-law relationships for estimating streamflow metrics in ungauged areas, from easily obtained catchment characteristics, derived from weighted least square regression applied to streamflow, climate, soil, geographic, geomorphologic and land-cover characteristics of 65 gauged catchments in the Lower Mekong Basin.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the spatial distribution of trends in nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in relation to societal, land cover and climatic changes in the Baltic Sea.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used river flow sequences to predict hydrological drought parameters (duration and magnitude) on annual, monthly and weekly time scales using extreme number theorem and Markov chain.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated soil and water loss on agricultural sloping lands and evaluated the effectiveness of soil conservation practices in controlling erosion using plot data, and found that all the conservation practices yielded much less soil loss than cropland.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors document the geochemistry of Raquette River waters during discharge events, and find that the river chemistry is sporadically impacted by discharge from a dolostone quarry located 6 km upstream during runoff events.
