A Diagnostic Framework and Data Inventory to Analyze Human Intervention on Streamflow

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Growing recognition of human impacts on streamflow regimes has driven efforts to integrate water‐management modules into hydrological models to improve simulation accuracy. Yet data constraints often force simplifying assumptions, which may introduce unintended biases and obscure true human influences.

DETERMINANTS OF IRRIGATION TECHNOLOGY CHOICE [PDF]

open access: yes
Two discrete choice models relate the probability of choosing two water-saving irrigation technologies - —sprinkler and tailwater recovery pits- —to the underlying physical and economic attributes of the farming using a national cross section of farm ...

Human Interference Quantification and Representation in Hydrological Models—Introduction to the Special Collection on Quantifying Human Interferences in Hydrology

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract This article introduces papers published in the special collection of Water Resources Research on quantifying human interferences (or interventions in general) in hydrology and embedding them within large‐scale hydrological models. Starting with a list of instances of human interferences in various hydrologic processes, this article discusses ...

Experimental study on the hydraulic performance of buried retractable telescopic sprinkler irrigation systems

open access: yesGuan'gai paishui xuebao
【Objective】Buried telescopic sprinklers are commonly used for irrigating lawns, gardens, and crops. While providing efficient and automated irrigation, they can result in uneven irrigation if not operating under optimal conditions.

Sprinkler Irrigation Is Effective in Reducing Nitrous Oxide Emissions from a Potato Field in an Arid Region: A Two-Year Field Experiment

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2019
In arid and semi-arid regions, water-saving irrigation is the primary mode of local agricultural production. Since the chemical fertilizer is the principal source of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, we present results from a two-year (2016−2017 ...

COVID‐19 and Farm Management in India: Evidence From the Rural–Urban Interface of Bangalore

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 77, Issue 1, Page 74-93, February 2026.
ABSTRACT We examine farm management decisions of smallholder farmers during the first wave of COVID‐19 infections in India between June 2020 and March 2021. We use panel data from 256 farm households in the rural–urban interface of Bangalore from a pre‐COVID‐19 face‐to‐face survey and a phone survey at the end of the first COVID‐19 wave.
