Summary: The study investigated the long-term trends in annual and monthly rainfall in the Blue Nile Basin, and found a significant decrease in precipitation over the whole area except during the Bega season. The findings suggest potential adverse effects on the agricultural system due to the high variability in rainfall and prolonged periods of drought. Additionally, low rainfall anomalies associated with El Nino Southern Oscillation events were identified as contributing factors to severe droughts in the region.

Summary: This study introduces a method for identifying the Geomorphological Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph specific to each flood event by extending the application of GIUH to individual hydrological events and accounting for the influence of rainfall spatial distribution. Results from applying this method to several flood events in two mountainous catchments indicate significant variability in the E-GIUHs over the basins, with E-GIUH parameters appearing to be correlated with flood event magnitude.

Summary: Soil erosion is a global problem that poses a threat to the environment and the future of economic and social development. This study aims to investigate the impact of steep slopes and gullies on erosion in high precipitation tropical areas of the Ethiopian highlands. Monitoring of discharge and sediment concentration was carried out using a trapezoidal weir at the head and tail of the gully from 2017 to 2020. The study findings provided insights into runoff patterns, sediment dynamics, and practical recommendations for managing gully erosion in the future.

Summary: The NRCS-CN method is widely used for estimating runoff depth, but assuming a constant CN for a basin is unrealistic. This study proposes an empirical equation that estimates event-based runoff coefficients by considering the variability of storm and catchment characteristics. The proposed method was tested and showed good performance in a watershed in Iran. The study also highlights a variable threshold in the form of a slope intercept equation, which describes the loss component. The obtained runoff coefficient from this methodology is encouraging but needs to be tested in more catchments for long rainy events.

Summary: This study conducted modeling of temporal trends for commonly climatic variables in Gelgel Belese watershed in Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia. The study examined the baseline period of 1998-2019 and future time interval of 2020-2100. The results showed an increasing trend in average annual temperature and evapotranspiration, while observed precipitation exhibited a non-significant trend. The future projections indicate significant increasing trends in temperature and evapotranspiration, but a non-significant decreasing trend in precipitation. These changes may impact the hydrological cycle and could lead to a decrease in river flow in the study area, highlighting the need for future water management strategies.

Summary: Understanding the spatial and temporal distributions and variations of basin water budget components is crucial for effective water resources management. This study used a physically based distributed hydrologic model, WEP, to estimate the water budget components of the Upper Blue Nile River Basin (UBNRB) based on multi-year land use information. The findings suggest that the basin stores a significant amount of water during the rainy season but loses it through evapotranspiration in the dry season.

Summary: This study presents an optimization method based on a rainfall-runoff model to identify optimal locations for land use changes that can mitigate runoff accumulation and flood hazard. The method was tested in two medium-sized catchments in Belgium and results showed that afforestation and winter cover crops can reduce runoff volumes, while sealing increases runoff. Priority pixels with high flow accumulation have a larger impact on downstream runoff, emphasizing the importance of enhancing infiltration capacity in river valleys.

This study collected chlorophyll content index data for four deciduous tree species from Belgium, Norway, and Spain over four years. The results revealed the phenological strategies and seasonal trends in leaf senescence for dry and warm years and identified daily average temperature, global radiation, and vapor pressure deficit as the main drivers of the timing of senescence transition. The study also found suitable modeling distributions for chlorophyll content index and senescence transition date.

Summary: This study focuses on assessing the strengths and weaknesses of quantile mapping in climate downscaling based on global climate model projections in Southern Africa. Different methods, including parametric and non-parametric transformations, are used and validated using cross-validation. The results reveal that non-parametric methods and parametric methods using exponential-type transformation have generally good skill in correcting biases. The uncertainty contribution analysis shows that the climate models are the largest contributors to overall uncertainty, while in some cases the methods have the highest uncertainty share. The stationary assumptions of quantile mapping are found to be robust. The projections indicate a tendency towards dryer conditions and intensified precipitation events in the region, with strong intra-regional variations.

The results show an average increase in stand productivity from 1987-2016 compared to 1961-1990, and simulations suggest that this positive growth trend will continue in the coming decades. Local site variability is also found to be important in assessing forests' response to climate change.

Summary: This study examines the heatwave events in seven geographic subregions of China from 1979 to 2018 using the latest intensity-area-duration framework. The results show that heatwaves of all durations have increased in frequency and intensity, with shorter heatwaves increasing at a faster rate. Xinjiang and Southern China have the most frequent heatwave occurrence, while the Southwest and Southern China have the highest increase in heatwave frequency. In terms of spatial trends, Southern China, Xinjiang, and the Southwest have the highest rates of intensity growth, influence area, and duration respectively. The findings provide insights for developing strategies to prepare for and mitigate the adverse effects of heatwave occurrences.

Summary: Compound hot-dry events have the potential to overwhelm natural and human systems, leading to significant damages and socioeconomic tipping points. Climate change amplifies the impacts of these events, and their future risk and role are poorly understood. By the end of the 21st century, an additional 0.7-1.7 billion people will be exposed to compound events globally, with cropland exposure increasing by 2-5.7 million km(2). Countries with weak governance will experience a larger increase in risk compared to those with good governance, highlighting the importance of effective governance in managing and mitigating compound events.

Summary: Drought events and their impacts vary spatially and temporally due to diverse pedo-climatic and hydrologic conditions, as well as variations in exposure and vulnerability, such as demographics and response actions. Little is known about the effect of drought management strategies on the actual impacts and how the hazard is perceived by relevant stakeholders. This study characterised and assessed the impacts and perceptions of two recent drought events in Europe and examined the relationship between management strategies and drought perception, hazard, and impact.

Summary: High-resolution climate data is crucial for predicting regional climate and water environment changes. In this study, a two-step downscaling method was developed to enhance the spatial resolution of GCM data and improve the accuracy for small basins. The method combined medium-resolution climate data with high-resolution topographic data to capture spatial and temporal details. The downscaled climate data were then used to simulate the impacts of climate change on hydrology and water quality in a small basin. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of the downscaling method for spatially differentiated simulations.

The Indian monsoon, the westerlies, and local circulations are the main systems affecting precipitation over the entire Tibetan Plateau. The East Asian summer monsoon primarily affects the eastern Tibetan Plateau. The Indian monsoon has the greatest influence on precipitation in the southern and central grid cells, while the westerlies have the greatest influence on precipitation in the northern and western grid cells. Local circulations have the strongest influence on the central and eastern grid cells.
