Assessing river discharge dynamics through relative surface water extent changes in river basins [PDF]

iScience
Summary: Surface water in rivers is vital for human society. However, our current understanding of the dynamics and drivers of river flows relies predominantly on stream gauging data, which are limited in spatial coverage and involve significant costs ...

Water assessment in transboundary river basins: the case of the Medjerda River Basin [PDF]

Sustainable Water Resources Management, 2021
AbstractWater resources in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA region) face over-exploitation and over-pollution due to population growth, climate change and the lack of advanced water governance approaches. These challenges become more serious in transboundary river basins and may lead to conflict between riparian countries.

Damming the rivers of the Amazon basin [PDF]

Nature, 2017
More than a hundred hydropower dams have already been built in the Amazon basin and numerous proposals for further dam constructions are under consideration. The accumulated negative environmental effects of existing dams and proposed dams, if constructed, will trigger massive hydrophysical and biotic disturbances that will affect the Amazon basin's ...
