Regional assessment of groundwater recharge in the lower Mekong Basin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Groundwater recharge remains almost totally unknown across the Mekong River Basin, hindering the evaluation of groundwater potential for irrigation. A regional regression model was developed to map groundwater recharge across the Lower Mekong Basin where

The actual evapotranspiration as a function of the potential evapotranspiration and the soil moisture tension.

open access: yesNetherlands Journal of Agricultural Science, 1956
Lysimeter observations with a clay and a peat soil indicated that the actual evapotranspiration of grassland falls below the potential evapotranspiration while the soil is still drying, the fall being less for peat than for clay. The rate of reduction depends on the moisture tension of the soil and on the intensity of the potential evapotranspiration ...

Drought Risk in Mango and Avocado Orchards: Insights Into Plant Water Relations and Irrigation‐Related Agronomic Solutions

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is making water availability more uncertain, with growing consequences for the productivity and long‐term sustainability of tropical and subtropical fruit orchards. Mangifera indica L. and Persea americana Mill. both require large amounts of water to sustain growth and productivity.

Energy Constraints for Climate Models from Hydrologic Partitioning

open access: yes, 2019
It is well known that evaporative cooling of Earth's surface water reduces the amount of radiation that goes into sensible heat, namely the portion of radiation that produces higher temperatures.

Analyzing the discharge regime of a large tropical river through remote sensing, ground-based climatic data, and modeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
This study demonstrates the potential for applying passive microwave satellite sensor data to infer the discharge dynamics of large river systems using the main stem Amazon as a test case.

Multiobjective Simulation–Optimization of Crop Allocation and Water Resources in Canal Command Areas Using Genetic Algorithms

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study develops an integrated simulation–optimization framework for sustainable crop allocation and water resource management in the Bargarh Canal Command (BCC), eastern India. Efficient irrigation allocation remains a critical challenge due to competing demands, groundwater–surface water interactions and environmental constraints ...

Climatically driven loss of calcium in steppe soil as a sink for atmospheric carbon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
During the last several thousand years the semi‐arid, cold climate of the Russian steppe formed highly fertile soils rich in organic carbon and calcium (classified as Chernozems in the Russian system).

Machine Learning‐Based Estimation of Reference Evapotranspiration and Crop Coefficients for Wheat Under Diverse Climatic Conditions

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ET0) and crop coefficients (Kc) is critical for irrigation planning, particularly in data‐limited regions where agriculture dominates freshwater consumption. Although machine learning (ML) methods have been widely applied to ET0 and Kc estimation, most studies address these parameters ...

Green roof seasonal variation: comparison of the hydrologic behavior of a thick and a thin extensive system in New York City

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2016
Green roofs have been utilized for urban stormwater management due to their ability to capture rainwater locally. Studies of the most common type, extensive green roofs, have demonstrated that green roofs can retain significant amounts of stormwater, but

On the importance of including vegetation dynamics in Budyko's hydrological model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The Budyko curve describes the patterns observed between between climate, evapotranspiration and run-off and has proven to be a useful model for predicting catchment energy and water balances.
