Summary: Intense soil erosion in the northern part of Gerecse Hills in Hungary is damaging vineyards in the area. This study quantified the amount of eroded soils in three vineyards in the Neszmely Wine Region using a one-year monitoring method. Aerial photographs of the vineyards were processed to estimate soil loss using the Universal Soil Loss Equation model. The results show that intense summer rainfall has a more significant effect on erosion compared to autumn or winter rainfall, and the inter-row grassing in the vineyards helps control erosion to some extent.

Summary: This study assesses the soil erosion rate in various sub-basins of the Alaknanda using the revised universal soil-loss equation (RUSLE) in the GIS framework. The results show that out of the twelve sub-basins, two fall in the high erosional class, nine fall in the moderate erosional class, and one basin in the low erosional class. This study can assist decision-makers in prioritizing actions for water and soil conservation.

Summary: Soil erosion is a global challenge that causes environmental and economic problems. The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and its updates are widely used for assessing soil erosion. The application of USLE is difficult due to the variability of data accuracy and resolution across different regions. This study proposes a methodology that uses remote sensing, ArcGIS, and synthetic storm distribution to collect and process the necessary data for USLE. The results show good agreement between calculated and measured sediment release in two catchments in the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt.

Summary: This study used integrated remote sensing and GIS approach to evaluate the delineation of groundwater potential zones. Various thematic layers were considered and appropriate weights were assigned based on multi-criteria decision analysis. The study revealed different groundwater potential zones and the validation results showed the reliability of the delineated zones. Planning for the available groundwater resource is made easier by identifying the potential for groundwater.

Summary: This study estimates water erosion in Wadi El Hachem watershed using the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) model combined with GIS and remote sensing techniques. The results show different levels of erosion in the watershed, with severe and extremely severe erosion mainly located along the riverside, while slight erosion occurs in flat lands and areas with vegetation coverage. The correlation between soil loss rate and topography, rainfall erosivity, and cover management is highly significant. The validation of the results shows the reliability of the methodology, which can be useful for implementing conservation plans in similar regions.

Summary: Soil loss in the Lanalhue lake basin in central Chile has been studied, revealing high and constant erosion rates, especially in clear-cutting areas and exotic forest plantations. Industrial forestry is identified as the main activity affecting erosion dynamics in the basin, while earthquakes have also played a significant role in sediment dynamics over the past 120 years.

Summary: This study found that in the Goulburn-Broken catchment in Australia, pollutant and nutrient concentrations increased while dissolved oxygen and nitrogen levels decreased. Simulations also showed that climate change, river regulation, and flow diversion would impact water quality indicators.

Summary: This study analyzed the sensitivity of streamflow patterns to flow regulation and climate change in the Goulburn-Broken catchment in Victoria, Australia. Low and medium flows increased by 26%, while high and overbank flows decreased by 31% during the period between 1977 and 2018. The timing of flow metrics would be dominated by variation in rainfall, while current river regulation and flow diversion practices would dominate future change in magnitude, duration, and frequency of the streamflow.

Summary: Timing of delivery of environmental water is crucial for riverine ecosystems, but current research and management often overlook the change in timing of streamflow and its implications. This study examined the impact of climate change and river operations on the timing of streamflow in the Goulburn-Broken catchment. It was found that annual streamflow declined by 47%, while the timing of streamflow increased by 36%. These changes were attributable to both reduced rainfall and river regulation. By 2050, climate change is predicted to cause a further decline in streamflow and an increase in timing. Efforts should be made to reverse the change in streamflow timing for sustainable river management. The findings in the Goulburn-Broken catchment have broad applicability to other managed catchments with forecasted rainfall reduction.
