Characterization of Municipal Water Uses in Urban Areas Across the Contiguous United States

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract An improved understanding of municipal water demand is essential for transitioning toward sustainable urban water management. This study develops a municipal water demand model by utilizing the Integrated Urban Water Model (IUWM), aimed at estimating and analyzing urban water use patterns across urban areas rather than conventional county ...

Volatile Organic Compounds in Rainwater: A New Frontier in Atmosphere–Biosphere Interactions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Rainwater is a key vector of atmospheric deposition, linking the atmosphere with terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. While the inorganic chemistry of precipitation (dominated by sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, and trace metals) has been extensively studied, organic compounds in rainwater have received less attention, and Volatile Organic Compounds

The Role of the Spatial Scale in Flood Hazard and Risk Mapping for Informing Land‐Use Planning: Insights From Aotearoa New Zealand

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Flood related damages are escalating due to compounded climate change impacts and ongoing urban development along floodplains. As a result, there have been increased calls to improve integration between land‐use planning and flood risk management to resolve conflicting policy objectives and minimise increasing flood risk. However, how and what

Making Flood Inundation Mapping (FIM) Work for Multiple Users: Improving the Design of FIM for Decision Support

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Visualizing and communicating flood inundation depth and extent can be valuable for informing decisions related to flood preparedness and disaster response. In the United States, several different types of flood inundation mapping (FIM) exist and a new National Water Model (NWM) FIM product is being rolled out across the country (expected to ...
