Summary: Stable isotopes in water have been integrated into hydrological models, improving the ability to partition hydrological processes and identify regional sources, leading to early detection of climate change. Recent advances in isotope hydrology have resulted in increased investment in global monitoring networks and the development of modeling tools for prediction and evaluation. This review focuses on the application of isotope tracers in large-scale hydrological modeling and highlights their value for operational water resources prediction.

Summary: This study applied chemometrics to analyze water quality data from three major river basins in Selangor, Malaysia. The results showed spatial and periodic variations in pollution characteristics. Nitrogen species, total suspended solids, and dissolved solids were identified as the major pollution loads, with a significant increasing trend in ammonia pollution. The study highlights the vulnerability of Selangor's water resource system to water pollution and suggests incorporating ammonia treatment facilities into water treatment plants for smooth water supply operations.

Summary: In the context of large-scale urban flood modeling, there are various porosity shallow-water models available, with different definitions of porosity parameters at either the scale of computational cells or the continuum of urban areas, as well as different flow models and parameterizations. A generally accepted model formulation has not yet been reached in this field.

Summary: Nutrients accumulated in small catchments across the northeastern United States are released into river flow in the current season, with a significant portion of mass lagged from catchment storage repositories. A seasonally dynamic approach to large-scale nutrient modeling helps assess the effects of nutrient storage and lagged releases on rivers interacting with seasonally varying nutrient reactivity and societal management actions throughout large river basins.

Summary: This study compares two strategies for reducing the computational time of 2D large-scale flood simulations. The results indicate that the simplified model LISFLOOD-FP can be a good alternative to fully dynamic models at coarse grid resolutions, while the GPU-parallel code PARFLOOD is more efficient in high-resolution simulations.

Summary: This article investigates and optimizes the absorption and desorption performance of a multi-tubular hydride reactor for large-scale hydrogen storage systems. By allocating different numbers of tubes, 90% absorption is achieved with an overall reactor weight of 78.46, 88, and 88.2 kg. The introduction of longitudinal fins enhances the reactor performance, achieving 90% absorption in 76 s with six full fins.

Summary: This study aimed to test different SDMs for nine amphibian species, with results showing that using friction-based functional grain predictors produced slight to moderate improvements in SDM performance at large scale, while the multi-scale approach led to ambiguous results depending on the species studied, especially for generalist species.

Summary: The study presents forest insect activity from eight Pinus radiata plantation regions in New Zealand, finding regional variations in phenology with certain species absent from specific regions. It highlights that the maximum temperature is the strongest predictor of flight activity, and calculates the probability of flight events for each species at different time periods.

Summary: Nutrient pollution is a widespread issue in rivers in China. This study aims to quantify the spatial variation in in-stream water quality for nutrients and identify their associated sources. The results show that a certain percentage of rivers are highly polluted, with diffuses sources and point sources contributing differently. It is important to consider nutrient forms in models and monitoring programs.

Summary: The paper focuses on the modeling of real scale multi-compartment and multi-source fire scenarios and validates it against real scale experiments. The scenarios involve one or two fire sources located in three mechanically ventilated compartments with vertical openings for communication. These complex scenarios provide new understanding in the field of compartment fires. The zone model MAGIC is used to model the three scenarios, with good agreement found between the model and experiments. The study also applies the Peatross and Beyler correlation to predict fire behavior and discusses its important aspects in detail. The correlation yields good predictions.

Summary: This study investigates the comparability of climate impact indicators (CIIs) in the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) with other global data for water and climate. It found that temperature datasets are comparable, but significant discrepancies exist in precipitation indicators. The study suggests using hydrological model ensembles and improved model selection criteria to ensure high-quality global water and climate services.

Summary: The largest forest wildfire in Swedish modern history burnt 14,000 ha of Boreal forest in the Vastmanland County during the summer of 2014. The impacts of this wildfire on the hydrological regime were assessed over the three years following the event, showing changes in snow season duration and timing, streamflow behavior, and catchment response. The study demonstrates the usefulness of combining flow signatures and remote sensing products to detect changes in catchment hydrology.

Summary: Continental and global dynamic hydrological models have become important tools for large-scale analyses, with the HYPE model being one example. This study compared historical simulations and assessed future impacts on hydrological indicators using different-scale HYPE applications. The findings suggest that the global model can provide comparable information on climate change impacts to the continental and national models, despite variations in spatial patterns.

Summary: The study in the Baltic Sea Drainage Basin highlights the importance of remediation measures to reduce nutrient loads and improve surface water quality. However, these measures focus on local improvements rather than targeting nutrient delivery to sea outlets. The impact scenarios suggest that reductions in load emissions across large basin areas are necessary to achieve significant nutrient reductions in coastal sea basins.

Summary: This paper evaluates the parameter sensitivity of a process-based model at the global scale using large-sample data. The results indicate that both soil and snow parameters are sensitive. The analysis also explores the relationship between catchment characteristics and parameter sensitivity using a global dataset, and reveals different patterns of sensitivity for different climate classes. Additionally, the numerical sensitivity method is compared with expert judgement to validate the reliability of the numerical results.

Summary: Streamflow simulation in the tropics is limited by a lack of data. This study uses different methods to overcome data scarcity and assesses water resources in Costa Rica using a hydrological model. The results show that a two-step calibration using monthly and daily streamflow improves the model's ability to simulate the flow characteristics. Additionally, including actual evapotranspiration in the calibration further improves the model's performance.
