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

World 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

World 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 ...

RESPUESTA AGRONÓMICA DE HÍBRIDOS DE MAÍZ BAJO RIEGO Y SECANO EN DOS DENSIDADES DE SIEMBRA EN VALLES ALTOS DE MÉXICO

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems
Antecedentes. En la producción de maíz, el agua de riego como un insumo con valor monetario debería incrementar el beneficio en especie; la lluvia es la fuente más sustentable de agua, pero no asegura el beneficio. Objetivo.

Aspectos socioeconómicos de la agricultura de riego en la Cuenca Lerma-Chapala

Economía, Sociedad y Territorio, 2010
Entre 1990 y 2003, la cuenca Lerma-Chapala sobrellevó varios años de sequía severa que redujeron el lago de Chapala a 14% de su volumen total, lo que puso en riesgo el abasto de agua potable para Guadalajara y generó una gran tensión por su distribución ...

Salty suitors: High larval sodium intake reduces adult lifespan and influences reproductive behaviour in a lepidopteran herbivore

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 886-898, October 2025.
Low‐sodium females took significantly longer to start mating than high‐sodium females, but no pairings differed in the duration of copulation. Reproductive outputs, measured by number of clutches, hatching young, adult offspring and pupation time, did not differ across parental sodium pairings.

Water‐saving strategies in rice farming entail cascading effects in prey–predator interactions across ecosystem boundaries

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2273-2282, September 2025.
These results show that introducing multiple drainage periods in rice fields (i.e. AWD) indirectly hampers terrestrial spider reproduction through limiting the emergence of potential preys from the aquatic to terrestrial boundaries. MSD resulted in a more conciliatory strategy as it largely reduces methane emissions and does not affect predator–prey ...

Functional traits and soil water availability shape competitive interactions in a diploid–polyploid complex

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 9, Page 2332-2345, September 2025.
Our study emphasises that the long‐term fate of polyploids largely depends on water availability, with high polyploids having a competitive advantage in arid environments. This ultimately highlights the role of functional traits in shaping the competitive dynamics between cytotypes.
