Hydrodynamic and ecological modeling for water quality assessment in Lake Qaroun, Egypt

Lake Qaroun is a closed saline lake located in Fayoum Depression in Egypt. The lake is primarily supplied by an extensive agricultural drainage network, This study presents an integrated hydrodynamic, contaminant transport, and ecological modeling framework to assess the environm...

Spatial Coherence and Non-Stationary Drought Dynamics in Water Management Basins of Northern and Central Kazakhstan

This study investigates the spatiotemporal variability, spatial consistency, and non-stationarity of meteorological and hydrological droughts in three major water management basins (WMBs) of northern and central Kazakhstan: Nura–Sarysu, Esil, and Tobyl–Torgai. Long-term instrumen...

Decoding multidimensional water quality in arid industrial lakes: a comprehensive CCME-WQI, HPI, and GIS-based evaluation of the Arab al-Ulayqat system

Effective water quality management is crucial in arid regions, where inland water systems are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic pressure and climatic stress. This study aimed to assess water quality in Egypt’s Arab al-Ulayqat Lakes using physicochemical, microbiological, heavy-m...

Comprehensive inter-comparison of generative AI models for super-resolution precipitation downscaling across hydroclimatic regimes

Abstract. High-resolution precipitation information is essential for hydrologic modeling, flood forecasting, and climate-risk assessment, yet global weather and climate models operate at spatial resolutions too coarse to resolve storm structure, intermittency, and extremes. Deep-...

Divergent drivers of runoff changes in the Indus eastern tributaries: Insights from attribution analysis based on the Budyko framework

Study region The eastern tributaries of the Indus River Basin: Chenab, Jhelum, Ravi, and Sutlej. Study focus Using discharge records from the Water and Power Development Authority, Pakistan and climatic data from reanalysis datasets, this study constructs long-term, up-to-date hy...

Hydrological resilience to climate extremes and its implications for water security in the data-scarce Baro river basin

Hydrologic resilience is one of the important issues that has to be addressed for sustainable water resources management. This study evaluates hydrological resilience to climate extremes in the Baro River Basin, Ethiopia, by examining how the basin resists, recovers from, and ada...
