Hydrological Foundation as a Basis for a Holistic Environmental Flow Assessment of Tropical Highland Rivers in Ethiopia [PDF]

, 2020
The sustainable development of water resources includes retaining some amount of the natural flow regime in water bodies to protect and maintain aquatic ecosystem health and the human livelihoods and wellbeing dependent upon them.

Impacts of climate change on environmental flows in West Africa's Upper Niger Basin and the Inner Niger Delta

Hydrology Research, 2021
Modified water regimes due to climate change are likely to be a major cause of freshwater ecosystem alteration. General Circulation Model (GCM)-related uncertainty in environmental flows at 12 gauging stations in the Upper Niger Basin and flooding within

Temperature fluctuations in a changing climate: an ensemble-based experimental approach

Scientific Reports, 2017
There is an ongoing debate in the literature about whether the present global warming is increasing local and global temperature variability. The central methodological issues of this debate relate to the proper treatment of normalised temperature ...

Global unsustainable virtual water flows in agricultural trade

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
Recent studies have highlighted the reliance of global food production on unsustainable irrigation practices, which deplete freshwater stocks and environmental flows, and consequently impair aquatic ecosystems.

Video-based measurements of the entrainment, speed and mass flux in a wind-blown eruption column

Communications Earth & Environment
On May 4 2010 a wind-blown ash plume issued from Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland. Analysis of a 17-minute-long video recording of the eruption suggests that, within 2–2.5 km of the vent, the flow was moving with the wind and rising under buoyancy ...
