Streamflows were normal to well above normal at 93% of the key index gaging stations across the country during September, according to the end of the month check on water resources conditions by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). USGS hydrologists said that of the 174 key index gaging stations reporting for September, 35% (61 stations) had well above ...

ABSTRACT Landscape fragmentation may influence the spatial distribution and temporal variation of non‐point source (NPS) pollution by altering hydrological processes, pollutant transport pathways, and ecosystem service functions. However, under the combined effects of natural factors (e.g., precipitation, topography) and anthropogenic factors (e.g ...

Streamflows decreased sharply in much of the United States east of the Mississippi River during April, with 19 streams in the region at record‐low flows, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). A USGS monthly check on water resources conditions nationwide also showed that the West and Midwest had above‐average streamflows and that the level of ...

Geospatial Foundation Embeddings as Transferable Catchment Descriptors
Abstract Deep learning hydrological models rely on static catchment attributes to characterize basin heterogeneity, but these traditional descriptors suffer from regional inconsistency and limited temporal representativeness. This study evaluates geospatial foundation model embeddings (from AlphaEarth and StefaLand) as transferable catchment ...

Heavy spring rains that fell across the nation frequently during April and early May pushed streamflows in many states to record or near‐record high levels, according to a regular month end check on water resources by the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS), Department of the Interior.USGS hydrologists said new record high flows for April were measured at ...

Gamma Rays Signal the Vulnerability of Forest to Extreme Drought
Abstract Extreme drought and heat are driving forest die‐off globally, yet regional‐scale mapping of subsurface water storage capacity, governing forest vulnerability, remains a major challenge. Here, we demonstrate that airborne gamma‐ray spectrometry (GRS) of potassium (40K) decay provides a powerful proxy for subsurface constraints on water ...

Abstract Flood risk is correlated in space and time, challenging insurance systems that rely on diversification across assets. Financial instruments governing flood coverage are typically structured as 1–5‐year contracts, exposing portfolios to climate‐driven risk at interannual‐to‐decadal scales.

Abstract Headwater catchments provide essential water and nutrients to downstream ecosystems. The timing and evolution of their transport is shaped in part by the “invisible” subsurface structure but have been largely unexplored at the watershed scale.
