Vulnerability to Dams of the Last Undammed Large Rivers of Southeast Asia
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The vast majority of large Eurasian rivers are regulated by hydropower dams, but some have survived as free‐flowing rivers so far in the Arctic and along stretches of the Myanmar coast. There, the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) and Salween Rivers, two of the largest rivers of Southeast Asia, provide a huge amount of sediment, nurturing floodplains and

An advanced approach for catchment delineation and water balance modelling within wetlands and floodplains [PDF]
Advances in Geosciences, 2005 Water balance of wetlands within lowland floodplains is strongly influenced by the temporally variable spatial extent of the interactions between groundwater and surface water.

Environmental Stressors Influence Spatial Complexity in a Fluvial Macrophyte meadow
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.This research investigates the nonlinear relationships between environmental stressors and the fine‐scale spatial complexity of a fluvial macrophytes meadow. The use of multivariate spatial analysis allowed us to identify two major environmental gradients (nutrients and light) and two major complexity gradients (related to abundance and fragmentation).

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.We present a deep learning framework integrating remote sensing and SHAP interpretation to map 22‐year habitat dynamics of herbivorous waterbirds in Dongting Lake. Results show nearly 50% habitat loss, driven primarily by hydrological recession timing rather than static inundation extent.

San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2009 We describe a process and methodology for quantifying the extent of a type of historically prevalent, but now relatively rare, ecologically-valuable floodplains in the Sacramento lowland river system: frequently-activated floodplains.

River, EarlyView.Abstract In recent years, the Three Gorges Reservoir Region (TGRR) has been increasingly affected by climate change, with frequent flood events posing challenges to regional flood control. The NO.1 flood of the Daning River in 2024 further highlights the severity of flood risks in the region.

River, EarlyView.Abstract The Ajay River, originating from the Chotanagpur Plateau (Bihar) and flowing through Jharkhand into West Bengal before merging with the Bhagirathi‐Hugli near Katwa, is among the most flood‐prone rivers in the region. Its lower reaches frequently experience rainfall‐induced flooding and embankment breaches during the mid‐ to late‐monsoon season.

River, EarlyView.Abstract The Yamuna River, one of India's most significant river systems and the largest tributary of the Ganges River, serves critical ecological, socio‐economic, and cultural functions. However, rapid urbanization, industrialization, and intensive agriculture have severely degraded its water quality, resulting in extensive pollution with untreated ...
