This paper reviews how remotely sensed data have been used to understand the impact of
urbanization on global environmental change. We describe how these studies can support …

Residential landscapes are a common setting of human-environment interactions. These
ubiquitous ecosystems provide social and ecological services, and yard maintenance leads …

The development of 'greening'cities introduces an uneasy tension between more green
spaces and the increased use of scarce blue water resources to maintain this greenness …

The current study analyzes existing methods for estimating outdoor use and landscape
irrigation in highly developed residential areas across Los Angeles. Outdoor use was …

Previous research has examined the influence of values on human-ecological decisions, yet
disparate approaches render inferences across studies difficult. In this paper, we present a …

Urban water systems are highly engineered. However, hydrology and ecology are still
closely linked in semi‐arid urban ecosystems in which surface characteristics, vegetation …

Large amounts of water applied as urban irrigation can often be reduced substantially
without compromising esthetics. Thus, encouraging the adoption of water-saving …

This publication presents a methodology for the evaluation of the water footprint of urban
renewal projects. The indirect water footprint is obtained by adding together the embodied or …

Irrigation water use in private landscapes represents an increasing share of total water use
in semiarid areas. In this work, 102 households located in the Montecanal neighbourhood …

Variations in water fixtures and appliances coupled with different routines and preferences
of users result in high levels of variability in residential water consumption. This study …
