Summary: This study analyzes the impact of different management practices on water quality using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool. The results show that the implementation of Vegetative Filter Strips (VFS) and Riparian Buffer can reduce sediment, Total Nitrogen (TN), and Total Phosphorus (TP) yields. Additionally, the use of Cover Crops (CC) such as Rye grass and Winter Wheat (WW) can also contribute to the reduction of streamflow and nutrient yields. These findings provide valuable insights for the agricultural community in improving water quality.

Summary: This study introduces an improved HRU definition method that minimizes the loss of watershed biophysical information without significantly increasing the number of HRUs or lowering user-defined thresholds. The new HRU model better represents land use and soil distribution characteristics and improves the simulation of hydrological and water quality variables compared to the default SWAT model.

Summary: Identifying key processes and sources of water and nutrient losses is crucial in watershed management. This study used the SWAT model to simulate water and nutrient balance in an agricultural watershed in the U.S. Corn Belt. The results showed that the corn-soybean rotation system was the main contributor to nitrogen and phosphorus inputs and losses, and the non-growing season was identified as the critical period for water and nutrient losses.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of climate change on small Swedish watersheds dominated by agricultural land, finding that an increase in precipitation volume is likely to lead to more intense rainfall events. While the climate model ensemble underestimated the heaviest daily rainfall events, the main impact on all hydrological components appeared to be more significant during the middle of the cropping season.

Summary: Cover crops have the potential to increase water storage by reducing runoff, increasing infiltration, and decreasing evaporation. The study evaluated the effects of interseeded cover crops on soil water content and found that systems with cover crops had higher soil water storage compared to systems without cover crops. Furthermore, the inclusion of cover crops resulted in greater corn yields and water use efficiency.

Summary: The present study aims to simulate the effects of land-use and topographical changes due to coal mining on surface runoff in the Jamunia basin of Jharkhand, India. The results revealed a significant increase in surface runoff during the simulation period. This study indicates that unplanned mining activities can reduce the water holding capacity of downstream reservoirs and increase the runoff.

Summary: This special issue focuses on the impact of climate change on wildfire risks, as well as the effects of wildfire on watersheds and water resources. The studies show that wildfire can alter vegetation, soil characteristics, hydrological flow paths, and residence times of water, and have long-term impacts on water quantity and quality.

Summary: This study examines the impacts of climate change on streamflow and water quality in the subtropical Logan-Albert catchment in Australia. The results show that climate warming may lead to decreased streamflow and contaminant loads, with the largest decreases predicted during the dry season. This could result in reduced flushing and increased importance of point source loads in urbanizing catchments.

Summary: This study developed an eco-hydrological model to assess the ecological conditions of rivers in the Albaida Valley, Spain. The model results showed that the rivers in the region had a poor ecological status mainly due to nutrients pollution. The study demonstrated the potential of the model for future applications in investigating the impacts of climate, land-use, and management policies on the ecosystem.

Summary: The optimal allocation of agricultural water and land resources is crucial for farmers' economic benefits, carbon sequestration, and water resource conservation. This study developed a novel water-carbon-economy coupling model and applied it to a real farm, demonstrating its effectiveness in achieving the optimal allocation of water and land resources. The model balances economic, environmental, and social benefits.
