Simple tools and accessible information are needed by environmental planners to select sites for the restoration or creation of wetlands. A flexible suitability model for allocating wetlands is demonstrated in small (20–2,000 ha) agricultural catchments in the semiarid Ebro basin (NE Spain)....

This study examined how changes in the composition of land use can affect wetland water quality. Twenty-four wetlands located in Hiroshima prefecture in the western part of Japan were selected for this purpose. The water quality parameters that were explored include: pH, electrical conductivity,...

Understanding farm dams, including their distribution and reasoning, is important in Australia. While most researches have aimed at the impact of farm dams, quantifying their spatial distribution is highly desired from management perspective. However, it is a difficult task due to the large...

In western Victoria, Australia the water table and lake level in the Glenelg-Hopkins catchment have been declining for the last 15 years, and this is attributed to either the low rainfall over this time and/or a substantial change in land use. Stream flow modelling was carried out using monthly...

This study deals with the effects of the expected climate change on the hydrology of watersheds and on water resources. HSPF (Hydrological Simulation Program—Fortran) has been used to model streamflow and reservoir volume as realizations of watershed response. Climate change scenarios have...

Vegetation restoration is helpful in preventing soil erosion but aggravates water scarcity, thus resulting in soil desiccation on the wind–water erosion crisscross region (WWECR) of the Loess Plateau in Northwestern China. However, no guideline currently exists on the selection of plant...

Urban stormwater quality is multifaceted and the use of a limited number of factors to represent catchment characteristics may not be adequate to explain the complexity of water quality response to a rainfall event or site-to-site differences in stormwater quality modelling. This paper presents...
