Farm‐Scale Recharge Pits for Improving Local Groundwater Availability: Insights From a Hardrock Watershed in Rajasthan, India

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Groundwater depletion is a major challenge in semiarid, hard‐rock regions where irrigation demands often exceed natural recharge. This study evaluates the effectiveness of farm‐scale recharge pits as a local, supplementary, and community‐managed groundwater recharge solution in the Dharta catchment of Rajasthan, India. Alongside check dams and

Habitat selection and habitat suitability assessment of the Goitred Gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa sairensis)in Kalamaili Mountain

open access: yes, 2009
本研究基于2005年以来对卡拉麦里山有蹄类自然保护区鹅喉羚分布的调查和生境样方采集,运用GIS技术进行目视解译与图层叠加研究保护区鹅喉羚时空分布,并运用选择指数与选择系数模型分析鹅喉羚的生境选择。研究发现,保护区内鹅喉羚四季分布虽有明显差异,但主要分布于保护区中部的针茅(Stipa glareosa)、驼绒藜(Ceratoides latens)、沙蒿-驼绒藜(Ass. Artemisia sp-Ceratoides latens)、假木贼-针茅群落(Ass.

Modeling Human Impact on the Distribution of the Only Existing Species of Euryale

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Temperature of the coldest month is negatively associated with the occurrence of Euryale ferox while the positive association between it and anthropogenic nitrogen deposition is more important for explaining its distribution. Its distribution is projected to decline by 8.3%–16.7% under four climate change scenarios in the 2050s if the levels of human ...
