TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) results, principal component analysis (PCA), binary plots investigations and Piper diagram investigations was applied on 321 samples to specifically enable the identification of two very distinct salinization paths that produce the brackish groundwater in the study area.

TL;DR: In this article, a spatial decision support system (SPARE:WATER) was used to calculate the irrigation demands on the basis of the well-known FAO56 Crop Irrigation Guidelines.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method is demonstrated that underpinned the development of an online national GDE mapping tool in Australia (GDE Atlas; http://www.bom.gov.au/water/groundwater/gde/map.shtml ).

TL;DR: By combining satellite altimetry with Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment derived terrestrial water storage-TWS (2002-2014), this paper used a two-step procedure based on spherical harmonic synthesis and statistical decomposition to support the understanding of the Volta basin's natural hydrology and its freshwater systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied three hydrological models (i.e., SWAT, HBV, and BTOPMC) to analyze the water balance components and their temporal and seasonal variations in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated climate change influences on future drought potential and water resources in five major river basins in Virginia and found that there was an overall increase in agricultural drought occurrences projected in the New (>1.3 times) and Rappahannock (> 1.13 times), due to increases in evapotranspiration and surface and groundwater flow.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the potential for using a state-of-the-art hydrological model (WRF-Hydro) in a fully coupled (i.e. land surface hydrology-atmosphere) mode to assess these water resources, particularly the Tono basin in Ghana.

TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of climate and land use changes on streamflow in an agricultural watershed in the Upper Midwest were evaluated using three projected climate change scenarios (A1B, A2 and B1) of three general circulation models (CGCM3.1, GFDL-CM2.1 and HADCM3).
