Water resources are directly and indirectly affected by anthropogenic activities (e.g., changes in land use) and natural factors (e.g., climate change), that is, global change. The Mediterranean basin is one of the most vulnerable regions of the world to global change, and one of the hot spots for forthcoming problems of water availability. The present review provides an overview about the relationship between chemical quality (especially concerning organic microcontaminants) and water scarcity, particularly in the Mediterranean area. We include an overview of environmental contaminants and analytical methodologies and consider the fate and the behavior of organic contaminants, and the effects of pollutants on ecosystems.

Introducing HyPeak: An international network on hydropeaking research, practice, and policy

Maria Alp, Ramon J. Batalla, Maria Dolores Bejarano, Isabel Boavida, Herve Capra, Mauro Carolli, Roser Casas-Mulet, Maria Joao Costa, Jo Halvard Halleraker, Christoph Hauer, Daniel S. Hayes, Atle Harby, Markus Noack, Antoni Palau, Matthias Schneider, Lennart Schonfelder, Diego Tonolla, Davide Vanzo, Terese Venus, Damia Vericat, Guido Zolezzi, Maria Cristina Bruno

Summary: The increase in demand for renewable energy is leading to more hydropower development and its integration with variable renewable energy sources. However, flexible hydropower production can cause artificial flow fluctuations in rivers, known as hydropeaking, which have multiple impacts on riverine habitats. Mitigating hydropeaking requires an interdisciplinary approach, and the HyPeak network aims to enrich research initiatives and support hydropower planning and policy. It seeks to integrate members from different countries and continents to provide expert advice on hydropeaking to policymakers, researchers, stakeholders, and practitioners.

Hydrological characterization of hydropeaks in mountain rivers (examples from Southern Pyrenees)

Alvaro Tena, Fanny Ville, Armengol Rene, Sarah M. Yarnell, Ramon J. Batalla, Damian Vericat

Summary: This study analyzed the hydropeaking patterns of the esera and Upper Cinca Rivers and found differences in both frequency and magnitude between the two rivers. The esera demonstrated a high-frequency, high-magnitude hydropeaking regime, while the Upper Cinca had a higher frequency but lower magnitude regime. The shape and magnitude of hydropeaks also varied between the rivers, with the Front Step shape dominating in the esera and the Rectangle shape being the most frequent in the Cinca. The study highlights the importance of considering the annual hydrology and river characteristics when assessing the impact of hydropeaking on river systems.

Applicability of a gas chromatograph-photoionization detection analyzer for the continuous monitoring of 1,3-butadiene in urban and industrial atmospheres

Laura Vallecillos, Rosa Maria Marce, Francesc Borrull

Summary: This study focuses on the implementation of a gas chromatograph-photoionization detection (GC-PID) analyzer for the continuous monitoring of 1,3-butadiene (1,3-BD) levels in urban and industrial atmospheres. The study found that the concentrations of 1,3-BD recorded by the GC-PID analyzer were comparable to those obtained by active sampling, and the concentration peaks showed consistency in values and time slots. In the test of urban atmospheres, the results showed that the concentrations of 1,3-BD were related to prevailing wind direction and activities in the petrochemical zone, while other factors had minor effects on the distribution of this pollutant.
