The Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Biosphere Reserve, Mexico (TCBR) is the southernmost arid or semi-arid zone with highest biodiversity in North America and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Two main hydrographic streams cross TCBR, Salado River (an endogenous river) Grande exogenous river). This study investigated temperature anomalies over past 40 years. We analyzed potential differences between sub-basins ...

The discharge process has undergone major changes in many river basins throughout the world as a result of simultaneous influences global climate change and human activity. Flow duration curves (FDCs) are crucial indicators basins’ hydrological processes. However, it is challenging to compare FDCs quantitative way. This study will identify best function with which fit flow curve semi-arid regio...

3D modelling is a fundamental tool to visualize and understand the history of sedimentary basin filling reconstruct geobody architecture. Spatial distribution discontinuity surfaces characteristics provide valuable information on factors controlling evolution basins. Several Neogene-Quaternary basins central-western Italy are controlled by extensional strike-slip tectonics characterized travert...

Water scarcity in arid and semi-arid regions represents a significant obstruction to social economic development. Also, flood hazards affect the life of many people these areas. This study aims develop new model for integrated management surface water groundwater, which involves rainwater harvesting recharge groundwater aquifers. Integrated hydrological models, including geographic information ...

The global socio-economic and agricultural expansion is accompanied by large inputs of nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) on land a serious alteration the water cycle quality. Mediterranean basin represents paradigmatic region to study entangled nutrient challenges because region, where many world's climatic gradients are present, predicted suffer severe stress in coming decades yet at same time inten...

Eighteen previously unknown martian basins have been detected on Viking photographs. The smallest basins have diameters 50 to 100 km less than the smallest known basins on Mercury or the moon. On the latter two planets and the earth, basin morphology varies with increasing diameter: central peak (CP) basins have both central peaks and fragmentary peak rings; peak ring (PR) basins have only conc...

Static single-path assessment methods usually underestimate the lake basin pressure (LBP). Considering cumulative transmission of multiple paths, how to assess dynamic changes LBP and reveal driving evolution is not clear. Here, taking Hulun, Daihai Wuliangsuhai basins in cold arid region as study case, we established an method that coupled paths. For first time, this reveals found rapid econom...
