Groundwater mapping and locally engaged water governance in a small island terrain: Case study of Karainagar island, Northern Sri Lanka

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 456-480, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Groundwater is a vital resource under threat in island communities. Karainagar, a 22 km2 island, is one of seven islands off the coast of Jaffna in Northern Sri Lanka, with its population of just about 11,000 persons, experiences seasonal water shortage, and salinity in groundwater as twin threats impacting on their lives.

Landscape Composition and Proximity to Water Affect American Badger Occupancy in Shortgrass Prairies 景观组成和与水的距离影响矮草草原中美洲獾的占域率

open access: yesWildlife Letters, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 23-31, March 2026.
American badgers, a medium‐sized carnivore occurring in much of North America, are important predators in prairie landscapes though our understanding of their habitat use requirements in these areas is unclear. We used a multi‐scale approach to understand American badger habitat use at both local and landscape scales.

Advancing Water Security in the Tropical and Subtropical Regions: An Integrative Topic Modeling Approach

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Water security in tropical regions faces escalating pressures from climate change, land‐use shifts, and population growth. We conducted a bibliometric review of 1146 peer‐reviewed articles (1964–2023) on tropical water security. Latent Dirichlet Allocation identified 13 thematic topics and their evolution. Publications rose sharply after 2012,

CHINA’S LAND FINANCE AS ACTIVE MODE OF LAND DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY: Reality, History and Prospects

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 191-220, January 2026.
Abstract Henry George advocated for capturing land value increases for public ends. The active approach of public authorities organizing and financing land development can help capture higher land value increases, as Hartman and Spit indicate. However, this approach hardly happens in developing countries, where the coalition of private developers and ...

Hydro‐Insurgency: Weaponization of Water Resources and Infrastructure in Northeast Syria

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 924-938, November 2025.
ABSTRACT This article examines the strategic weaponization of water resources by Turkey‐backed armed groups in Northeast Syria (NES) within the broader context of the Syrian civil war. As the conflict evolved, water infrastructure—dams, rivers, and irrigation systems—became central to warfare, governance, and foreign agendas. The article introduces the

Governing the Ungovernable: Mapping the Development of Groundwater Irrigation and Groundwater Policies in India

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 1048-1064, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Groundwater governance is complex due to several externalities associated with groundwater being an invisible natural resource tied to the land with millions of extractors and limited means of exclusion. The paper traces the evolution of groundwater irrigation in India and the corresponding change in groundwater laws and policies to address ...

Ecological Restoration of Rubber Monocultures: Strategies for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Recovery in Tropical Regions 题目:如何将橡胶林恢复为多样森林?

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 345-353, September 2025.
Restoration of monoculture in protected and marginal areas can be organized into two phases (1) identification and prioritization of restoration sites based on remote sensing or field survey then assessing degradation level, and (2) implementation of appropriate restoration interventions.
