From Crisis to Resilience: Rethinking Urban Flooding and Groundwater Recharge in Bengaluru City, India

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Bengaluru, a primary metropolitan centre in India, is currently grappling with the dual crises of urban flooding and severe groundwater depletion. These challenges are driven by rapid urbanization, which has seen built‐up areas increase from 42% to 86% over two decades, resulting in a dramatic loss of vegetation and wetlands.

Cascading River‐Lake Hydrological Regulation Reshapes Carbon Budgets of Floodplain Lakes in the Yangtze River Basin

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The carbon budget of floodplain lakes is regulated by natural hydrological processes, yet the role of human interventions, including cascade river‐lake hydraulic projects, remains unclear. We evaluated the combined effects of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) located on the Yangtze River and the proposed lake‐specific hydraulic projects (LHPs) on the
