Summary: This review article summarizes major findings and interventions in the biological control of water hyacinth, focusing on the biosynthesis, mechanism of action, and factors regulating the activity of bioherbicides. Fungal pathogens are found to be effective biocontrol agents for water hyacinth, with emulsions being the most effective mode of application. Most toxicity studies indicate no harm to other plant species, emphasizing the need for further research before field applications.

Summary: This study utilized remote sensing images and Google Earth Engine to establish a time series of surface water extent in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and identified the dynamics of water body area. The results showed that precipitation and wind speed are the primary factors influencing the changes in annual and monthly water body area.

Summary: The study found that water quality in the Songhua River basin has improved since 2005, with a significant increasing trend in Secchi disk depth. The use of chemical fertilizer significantly impacts lakes, while wastewater discharge and vegetation cover also play a role in alleviating water pollution.

Summary: This study utilized the CaMa-Flood global hydrodynamic model to estimate land surface water area (LSWA) and compared it with Landsat data. The results showed underestimation of LSWA in high northern latitudes and coastal areas by the model, while overestimation in forest and cropland areas. These consistent differences can be explained by the model's physical assumptions or optical satellite sensing characteristics.

Summary: In this study, changes in the water area of Poyang Lake from 1977-2021 were investigated using remote sensing imagery, hydrological data, meteorological data, and land use surveys. The results showed that the water area of Poyang Lake decreased during the study period, primarily due to changes in river runoff and sediment load. The construction of the Three Gorges Dam also played a role in reducing water flow into the lake, resulting in a decrease in water area in certain seasons.

Summary: This study proposed a three-stage method integrating remote sensing technique and river water temperature modeling to obtain long-term daily water temperature for rivers and river-type reservoirs. The method showed improvements in estimating river water temperatures, with a consistent RMSE of 1.1-1.9 degrees C. Analysis also indicated the impact of the Three Gorges Reservoir on thermal regime, providing a promising approach for river water quality monitoring and management.

Summary: In this study, we proposed a new method (MF-SegFormer) for automatically extracting water bodies from remote sensing images in complex environments. The method, which combines multiscale fusion and feature enhancement techniques, performs well in extracting small water bodies and water body edge information, and its superiority is demonstrated through comparisons with other methods.

Summary: Water quality factors in the downstream of the Kumho River were successfully simulated using remote sensing data from the Landsat 8 satellite through multiple regression analysis. The approach showed reliable results, making it a useful method for water quality management of the Kumho River.

Summary: Mapping surface water extent is crucial for water management. This study compares different indices for mapping surface water in the Murray-Darling Basin, and proposes a set of rules for accurate application. Selecting the appropriate index for specific environments improves overall performance.

Summary: Surface water security is a challenge in highly urbanized, economically active, and high water consumption regions. Exploring the supply and demand of surface water resources in developed is conducive to promoting the sustainable socioeconomic development of these agglomerations. The Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region is one of the most important world-class urban in China. However, it is unclear how surface water has responded to underlying impacts of climate change and anthropogenic water exploitation over the past decades.

Summary: This study investigated the distribution of DDT and its metabolites in sediments of the Brisbane River over 15 years, and found significant increases in DDT, DDE, and DDD levels following major flood events. While elevated levels of these compounds were detected in sediment at 32 of 79 sites sampled, they generally remained below guideline trigger values. Major flood events and intensive cropping practices were identified as legacy sources contributing to the elevated DDE content in the lower reaches of the Brisbane River.

Summary: The water quality of the Cehotina River in Pljevlja, Montenegro was found to be disturbing with bad quality dominating, while air pollution was also severe with PM10 particle concentrations exceeding prescribed limits most of the time. Immediate measures are needed to protect public health, including the introduction of technology and construction of heating plants.
