This study aims to evaluate the application of 222Rn in groundwater as a tracer for monitoring CO2 plume migration in a shallow groundwater system, which is important to detect potential CO2 leakage in the carbon capture and storage (CCS) project. For this research, an artificial CO2‐infused water injection experiment was performed in a shallow aquifer by monitoring hydrogeochemical parameters, including

Climate‐driven alterations of hydro‐meteorological conditions can change river flow regimes and potentially affect the migration behavior of fishes and the productivity of important fisheries in the Amazon basin, such as those for the continental‐scale migratory goliath catfishes (Brachyplatystoma, Pimelodidae). In this study, we investigated hydrologic responses to climate change using a hydrologic

Bioretention flow‐through planters manage stormwater with smaller space requirements or structural constraints associated with other forms of green infrastructure. This project monitored the hydrology of four bioretention planters at Stevens Institute of Technology to evaluate the system's ability to delay runoff and fully capture small rain events. The water depth in the outflow and the volumetric

Wildfires are landscape scale disturbances that can significantly affect hydrologic processes such as runoff generation and sediment and nutrient transport to streams. In Fall 2016, multiple large drought‐related wildfires burned forests across the southern Appalachian Mountains. Immediately after the fires, we identified and instrumented eight 28.4–344 ha watersheds (four burned and four unburned)

Sustainable fuels legislation and volatility in energy prices have put additional pressures on the forestry sector to intensify the harvesting of biomass for “advanced biofuel” production. To better understand how residual biomass removal after harvest affects forest hydrology in relatively low slope terrain, a Before‐After‐Control‐Impact (BACI) study was conducted in the USDA Forest Service's Marcell

In this study, both laboratory experiments and numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the effect of density‐driven flow on the transport of high‐concentration pollutants in the hyporheic zone. The results show that the density gradient can change the flow of pore water and the strong density‐driven flow can lead to an unstable flow, which increases the effect of preferential flow and thus

Mountain and lowland watersheds are two distinct geographical units with considerably different hydrological processes. Understanding their hydrological processes in the context of future climate change and land use scenarios is important for water resource management. This study investigated hydrological processes and their driving factors and eco‐hydrological impacts for these two geographical units

The small scale distribution of the snowpack in mountain areas is highly heterogeneous, and is mainly controlled by the interactions between the atmosphere and local topography. However, the influence of different terrain features in controlling variations in the snow distribution depends on the characteristics of the study area. As this leads to uncertainties in high spatial resolution snowpack simulations

Beaver dam analogues (BDAs) are a cost‐effective stream restoration approach that leverages the recognized environmental benefits of natural beaver dams on channel stability and local hydrology. While natural beaver dams are known to exert considerable influence on the hydrologic conditions of a stream system by mediating geomorphic processes, nutrient cycling, and groundwater‐surface water interactions

The longitudinal functional connectivity of a river‐lake‐marsh system (RLMS) refers to the actual water‐mediated transport of material from upstream to downstream areas along a spatial gradient and is fundamental to understand hydrological and biogeochemical cycles. However, due to a lack of consensus on appropriate data and methods, the quantification of connectivity is still a challenge, especially

Groundwater in India plays an important role to support livelihoods and maintain ecosystems and the present rate of depletion of groundwater resources poses a serious threat to water security. Yet, the sensitivity of the hydrological processes governing groundwater recharge to climate variability remains unclear in the region. Here we assess the groundwater sensitivity (precipitation‐recharge relationship)

Internal erosion is one of the most common causes of failure in hydraulic engineering structures, such as embankments and levees. It also plays a vital role in the geohazards (such as landslides and sinkhole developments) and more importantly, the earth landscape evolution, which has a broad environmental and ecosystem impacts. The groundwater seepage is multi‐directional, and its multi‐dimensional

Semi‐arid riparian woodlands face threats from increasing extractive water demand and climate change in dryland landscapes worldwide. Improved landscape‐scale understanding of riparian woodland water use (evapotranspiration, ET) and its sensitivity to climate variables, is needed to strategically manage water resources, as well as to create successful ecosystem conservation and restoration plans for

The extensive afforestation of the Mediterranean rim of Europe in recent decades has increased the number of wildfire disturbances on hydrological and sediment processes, but the impacts on headwater catchments is still poorly understood, especially when compared with the previous agricultural landscape. This work monitored an agroforestry catchment in the north‐western Iberian Peninsula, with plantation

Active wildfire seasons in the western US warrant the evaluation of post‐fire forest management strategies. Ground‐based salvage logging is often used to recover economic loss of the burned timber. In unburned forests, ground‐based logging often follows best management practices by leaving undisturbed areas near streams called stream buffers. However, the effectiveness of these buffers has not been

Estimation of young water fractions (Fyw), defined as the fraction of water in a stream younger than approximately 2 – 3 months, provides key information for water resource management in catchments where runoff is dominated by snowmelt. Knowing the average dependence of summer flow on winter precipitation is essential context for comparing regional drought severity and provides the hydrological template

Managing sloping landscapes to control soil erosion processes due to rainfall and runoff is a relevant problem, especially when the vegetation is absent or sparse. The aim of this paper was to investigate the applicability of a theoretically resistance law for overland flow under simulated rainfall, based on a power‐velocity profile, using field measurements carried out by Li and Pan for three plots

River streamflow monitoring is currently facing a transformation due to the emerging of new innovative technologies. Fixed and mobile measuring systems are capable of quantifying surface flow velocities and discharges, relying on video acquisitions. This camera‐gauging framework is sensitive to what the camera can “observe” but also to field circumstances such as challenging weather conditions, river

Hydrological high flow events, or episodes, are pulses of water that shape the pelagic food webs of lakes. These episodes promote hydrologically‐driven terrestrial inputs of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and nutrients (nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)) that influence lake productivity. At northern latitudes, episodes have typically occurred during spring snowmelt events (Andreásson, Bergström, Carlsson

There is increased interest in the potential of tree planting to help mitigate flooding using nature‐based solutions or natural flood management. However, many publications based upon catchment studies conclude that, as flood magnitude increases, benefit from forest cover declines and is insignificant for extreme flood events. These conclusions conflict with estimates of evaporation loss from forest

Many studies have defined the interrelationships between climate, forest disturbance, and runoff at small scales (<100 km2), but few have translated these relationships to large watersheds (>500 km2). In this study, we explore the relationship between climate, extreme forest fire seasons, mountain pine beetle (MPB) outbreaks, and runoff in eight large watersheds within the Fraser and Peace drainage
