Challenges in operationalizing the water–energy–food nexus [PDF]

, 2017
Concerns about the water–energy–food (WEF) nexus have motivated many discussions regarding new approaches for managing water, energy and food resources. Despite the progress in recent years, there remain many challenges in scientific research on the WEF ...

Socio-hydrological impacts of rate design on water affordability during drought

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
Unaffordable water threatens water access in the United States, particularly for low-income households. In water-scarce cities, water shortages during drought necessitate either expensive infrastructure development or costly emergency measures to meet ...

Is there really "nothing you can do"? Pathways to enhanced flood-risk preparedness [PDF]

, 2016
Whilst policy makers have tended to adopt an ‘information-deficit model’ to bolster levels of flood-risk preparedness primarily though communication strategies promoting awareness, the assumed causal relation between awareness and preparedness is ...

The seventh facet of uncertainty:wrong assumptions, unknowns and surprises in the dynamics of human–water systems [PDF]

, 2016
The scientific literature has focused on uncertainty as randomness, while limited credit has been given to what we call here the “seventh facet of uncertainty”, i.e. lack of knowledge. This paper identifies three types of lack of understanding: (i) known

Floods and climate: emerging perspectives for flood risk assessment and management [PDF]

, 2014
Flood estimation and flood management have traditionally been the domain of hydrologists, water resources engineers and statisticians, and disciplinary approaches abound.

Ecohydraulics exemplifies the emerging “paradigm of the interdisciplines” [PDF]

, 2016
The basic premise underlying ecohydraulics is deceptively simple: create a new discipline focused on the effects of water movement in aquatic ecosystems by melding principles of aquatic ecology (including aspects of fluvial geomorphology) and engineering

The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Sustainability of small dams for livestock and farming, a case study from Chitongo dam, rural Zambia

Frontiers in Water
Small earth dams are common water harvesting techniques in drylands, but assessing their sustainability and long-term socio-environmental impacts is hindered by limited data availability that characterize many community-scale rural contexts.
