Gender and social dimensions of access to and use of water resources are often overlooked in policy and programming despite their importance in shaping water security. This study examines factors affecting water security in urban Pakistan through a gender lens. We surveyed 560 men and women in two towns in Islamabad and Rawalpindi facing water and ...

Water quality is deteriorating in the world's freshwater bodies, and Lake Tana in Ethiopia is becoming unpleasant to biodiversity. The objective of this study is to retrieve non-optical water quality data, specifically total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) concentrations, in Lake Tana using Machine Learning (ML) techniques applied to Landsa...

Land cover changes alter hydrologic (e.g., infiltration-runoff), biochemical (e.g., nutrient loads), and ecological processes (e.g., stream metabolism). We quantified differences in aquatic ecosystem respiration in two contrasting stream reaches from a forested watershed in Colorado (1st-order reach) and an agricultural watershed in Iowa (3rd-order...

Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of extreme precipitation events, requiring new ways of managing stormwater, particularly in urban areas. Nature-based solutions (NBS) have become increasingly popular to provide distributed stormwater storage while supporting urban biodiversity and access to nature. However, long-term monitori...

Water scarcity is a global challenge, underscoring the importance of efficient water resource management. Solar stills offer a cost-effective method to convert brackish water into potable water but face productivity limitations. This study aims to enhance solar still productivity through modifications using different fin materials and water depth. ...
