Summary: This paper presents a novel approach to estimate regional groundwater storage change by integrating satellite-based GRACE gravity observation and hydrological modeling. By comparing with in situ groundwater level fluctuation, the integrated GWS change products show a positive correlation with hydrological model, GRACE observation, and in situ GWS change in most of the study area. This approach overcomes the limitations of GRACE observation, hydrological modeling, and conventional GWL fluctuation-based method.

Summary: Managing water-human systems during water shortages or droughts is crucial to avoid overexploitation of water resources, particularly groundwater. This study presents a novel socio-hydrological model to assess the impact of drought policies on baseflow and groundwater droughts over three decades. Results indicate that implementing conjunctive water use strategies can mitigate droughts, especially in systems with small groundwater storage, while maintaining environmental flows reduces hydrological droughts most in systems with large groundwater storage.

Summary: The overuse of water resources has resulted in significant ecological degradation in many river basins. However, there is a lack of understanding about the relationship between management decisions and socio-economic and ecological outcomes in river basins. This study developed a sociohydrological model to track the evolution of water resources and simulate the response of water resource allocation and regulations to economic and ecological outcomes.

Summary: In recent years, advancements in hydrological research and water resources management have failed to effectively address the intensifying global water crisis. The lack of interaction between hydrological research and water resource management is identified as a key issue. Watershed science has the potential to bridge this gap and provide a new approach to addressing the current water crisis and achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Summary: Water management in Ethiopian Upper Blue Nile region relies on fragmented efforts to supplement rainfed agriculture with surface water and reservoir-based irrigation schemes. However, the inability of irrigation managers to consider farmer perceptions in resource utilization designs creates a fragile system. This research uses hydrological models to map farmers' perception on irrigation water adequacy and fairness of water management, highlighting sociological constraints in emerging communities.

Summary: The Tigris River is a 1900-kilometer-long river that flows from southeastern Turkey through five eastern tributaries. Its average discharge in the past 90 years is 916 m3/s, and the average discharge in the past 30 years is 615 m3/s. The statistical analysis shows that the Gamble method is more reliable, and the flow discharge has decreased by 33% in the last 30 years.

Summary: Excessive groundwater pumping poses a major threat to regions already suffering from overuse or climate change. Accurate predictions of long-term aquifer water balances are crucial for sustainable groundwater management. Lumped hydrological models, though mainly used for simulating river discharge, can be extended to include aquifer storage. In this study, a lumped geohydrological model (LGhM) is proposed and evaluated using groundwater storage and surface discharge data. The model shows promising predictive capabilities in long-term forecasts and extreme drought scenarios.

Summary: Rapid global urbanization has resulted in a growing number of urban poor who lack resources to cope with food shortages. Understanding their profiles is crucial for addressing their needs, as they generally have low education and income levels, live in overcrowded and unsanitary housing, and have limited access to social services and health facilities. Engaging them in allotment gardens requires farming skills, financial capital, and safety measures.

Summary: This study evaluated a bias correction method for the Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) of Global Ensemble Forecast System V2 forecasts using the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) model. The method showed the best forecast performance compared to other methods tested. The forecast accuracy decreased as the lead time increased, and the forecast performance varied across different climatic regions in China. The XGBoost model combined with multi-factor bias correction was found to be effective in forecasting daily precipitation (P).

Summary: Most large scale studies assessing climate change impacts on crops are performed with simulations of single crops and with annual re-initialization of the initial soil conditions. This is in contrast to the reality that crops are grown in rotations, often with sizable proportion of the preceding crop residue to be left in the fields and varying soil initial conditions from year to year.

Summary: This study developed a soil-plant hydraulic model to investigate the interactions between soil-root hydraulic resistance variation and stomatal regulation under drought stress. The sensitive parameters of the model were analyzed and optimized using a field experiment with sunflower plants. The simulation results suggest that the responses of plants to stomatal regulation parameters are more active than to soil-root hydraulic resistance variation parameters, but the sensitivities to APD and CONTACT parameters increase as the soil dries.

Summary: Grasslands cover 30% of total terrestrial biomass and accurate estimation of aboveground biomass (AGB) is crucial for managing ecosystem sustainability. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have emerged as a useful tool for estimating AGB in grasslands. This review summarizes recent research on UAV-based AGB estimation in grasslands and highlights the need for more diverse study locations and long-term studies to improve transferability and understanding of the methods.

Summary: This study explores the groundwater vulnerability of Beijing and investigates the impact of human response on the groundwater-population-economy system. The results show that rapid economic development and larger precipitation may lead to short-term recovery of groundwater table but contribute to more severe depletion in the long run. Strengthening policymakers' views on groundwater depletion and improving labor force input can effectively reduce groundwater vulnerability.
