Towards Holistic Braided River Management: The Interface of Geomorphology, Hydrology, Ecology and Economics

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 415-431, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Braided rivers are some of the most dynamic and complex river systems in the world. They provide unique habitat to rare species, supply natural resources, and act as a source of groundwater recharge. However, they can also pose significant flooding and erosion hazards. Current management of braided rivers in Aotearoa New Zealand faces a strong

Focused groundwater recharge is controlled by landscape and climate

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Focused groundwater recharge, the concentrated infiltration of water through surface features including streams, depressions, or fractures to the water table, is accepted as the dominant recharge mechanism in arid climates.

Achieving Transboundary Water Security Through Water Innovations: A Framework and Cases

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Alternative sources of freshwater, provided by various innovations, have long been available to countries facing acute water stress. We hypothesize that avoiding and/or resolving conflict with neighbors—caused by the uncertainty of continued access to shared surface water and groundwater sources—is another driver of innovation adoption ...

Geospatial and AHP based identification of potential zones for groundwater recharge in Haridwar District of India

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science
Demarcation of the groundwater recharge prospective zones can be the foremost step in facilitating groundwater recharge in any terrain, as most nations have a major concern about unreasonable use of groundwater and declining the water table.

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,
