Summary: Integrating supply and demand of ecosystem services in rapidly urbanizing areas is challenging but essential. This study developed a spatially explicit approach to analyze the supply and demand dynamics of water purification and flood mitigation in the Taihu Lake Basin of eastern China. The results revealed a spatial mismatch between high supply and demand, with high supply in mountainous areas and high demand in urban and agricultural areas. The decrease in water purification and increase in flood mitigation demand were mainly attributed to urban expansion. Land use composition and configuration were found to have strong associations with demand and supply at the sub-basin scale. The findings provide valuable insights for sustainable land management in urbanizing watersheds.

Summary: Understanding the dynamic variations of ecosystem services (ESs) and their tradeoff-synergy relations under ecological water replenishment (EWR) is crucial for effective eco-environmental management strategies. This study investigated the spatiotemporal variations of habitat quality, carbon storage, and water yield services influenced by EWR in Baiyangdian Lake, and assessed their tradeoff-synergy relations. The results showed that habitat quality declined continuously but improved after 2015, while total carbon storage and water yield had relatively stable variations. EWR promoted the maintenance and improvement of ESs, and the tradeoff-synergy relations varied with time and space.

Summary: Groundwater pumping can lead to streamflow depletion by reducing groundwater discharge or inducing surface water infiltration. Analytical and numerical models are commonly used to predict streamflow depletion, with analytical depletion functions (ADFs) offering a balance between the ease of implementation of analytical models and the robustness of numerical models. ADFs show better agreement with numerical models and represent complex stream geometries well, making them a valuable tool for preliminary screening of groundwater pumping impacts on streamflow and environmental flow needs.

Summary: This study evaluated the changes in monthly baseflow records over the past 30 years in the continental United States. The study found that baseflow trends and influencing factors vary by region and month. Increases in baseflow were observed in the Northeast earlier in the year and in the summer, likely due to increasing precipitation, warmer temperature, and changes in snowmelt. Increases in baseflow in the Pacific Northwest and Midwest were associated with increased precipitation and antecedent wetness throughout the year. Decreases in baseflow were found in the Southeast and Southwest, with the Southeast seeing decreases only in March possibly due to decreased spring precipitation, and the Central Southwestern region experiencing decreases throughout the year due to lack of precipitation and increased temperature. The study also found a strong association between trends in total water storage and baseflow trends across the United States.

Summary: Groundwater pumping can lead to streamflow depletion, but identifying its impacts solely from hydrographs is challenging due to other factors causing hydrologic variability. In order to identify potential indicators of streamflow depletion, synthetic hydrographs and an analytical model were used to assess the impacts of pumping on specific hydrograph characteristics for 215 streamgages across the United States. The study found that streamflow depletion commonly affects characteristics associated with low flows and recessions, especially during dry years. Random forest models showed that streamflow depletion has significant impacts on annual, summer, and fall characteristics in most streams. These findings suggest consistent hydrological processes linking pumping to streamflow reductions across diverse settings, which can help in identifying indicators of streamflow depletion from streamflow hydrographs.

Summary: Non-perennial streams have gained increasing attention from researchers, but there is a lack of suitable methods for measuring their hydrologic connectivity. In this study, the authors developed Bayesian statistical approaches to measure average active stream length and a new metric called average communication distance. They applied these methods to Murphy Creek in Idaho, USA and found significant increases in effective stream lengths due to flow rarity, as well as seasonal differences in both average stream length and average communication distance. The study highlights the unique perspectives provided by communication distance and demonstrates the usefulness of Bayesian approaches in analyzing non-perennial streams.

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.
