Water is the fundamental natural resource that supports life, ecosystems and human society.
Thus studying the water cycle is important for sustainable development. In the context of …

Warming of the earth is considered as the major adverse effect of climate change along with
other abnormalities such as non-availability of water resources, decreased agriculture …

The hydrological cycle is expected to intensify with global warming, which likely increases
the intensity of extreme precipitation events and the risk of flooding. The changes, however …

Dryness stress can limit vegetation growth and is often characterized by low soil moisture
(SM) and high atmospheric water demand (vapor pressure deficit, VPD). However, the …

Statistical downscaling and bias correction are becoming standard tools in climate impact
studies. This book provides a comprehensive reference to widely-used approaches, and …

Water scarcity is rapidly increasing in many regions. In a novel, multi-model assessment, we
examine how human interventions (HI: land use and land cover change, man-made …

Water scarcity severely impairs food security and economic prosperity in many countries
today. Expected future population changes will, in many countries as well as globally …

Humans directly change the dynamics of the water cycle through dams constructed for water
storage, and through water withdrawals for industrial, agricultural, or domestic purposes …

Predictions of hydrologic variables across the entire water cycle have significant value for
water resources management as well as downstream applications such as ecosystem and …

Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are expected to modify
the global water cycle with significant consequences for terrestrial hydrology. We assess the …
