Socio-hydrological drivers of agricultural water use in small reservoirs
Agricultural Water Management, 2019 Abstract Millions of small reservoirs built across semi-arid areas present a potential to support agricultural livelihoods of rural smallholders. The scale and geographical dispersion of these multiple lakes restrict the understanding of these coupled human-water systems and the identification of adequate strategies to support riparian farmers.

Global Change Can Make Coastal Eutrophication Control in China More Difficult
Earth's Future, 2020 Fast socio‐economic development in agriculture and urbanization resulted in increasing nutrient export by rivers, causing coastal eutrophication in China. In addition, climate change may affect hydrology, and as a result, nutrient flows from land to sea.

Modelling the interaction between flooding events and economic growth [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2015 Socio-hydrology describes the interaction between the socio-economy and water. Recent models analyze the interplay of community risk-coping culture, flooding damage and economic growth (Di Baldassarre et al., 2013; Viglione et al., 2014). These models

Scientists' warning on the need for greater inclusion of dragonflies in global conservation
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Stressors to dragonflies are multiple, and in many cases interactive. Specialist species are at risk, while generalists can benefit from some human activities. Dragonflies are sentinels for conservation, being promising surrogates for other taxa while also being appealing to citizen science initiatives.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Establishing appropriate restoration targets, tracking progress toward those targets, and determining appropriate adaptive intervention are some of the greatest challenges to successful ecosystem restoration. Addressing these challenges is often informed by the use of “reference sites” that represent relatively unaltered or historical conditions and ...
