“…As the theoretical system related to social hydrology has been perfected, many scholars have carried out research from different perspectives and at different scales. The focus of these studies is mainly divided into four parts: policy making [8][9][10], surface runoff changes [11,12], groundwater level changes [13], and climate change [14,15]. In addition, scholars have explored the impact of the water cycle on the social hydrological system in the global economic trade based on virtual water-related theories.…”

The study of changes in the resilience of socio-hydrological systems in arid zones is of great significance to ensure the sustainable development of socio-economic and water resources in arid zones. In order to fully understand the level of resilience development of the Tarim River Basin socio-hydrological system and the main impediments to its development, we constructed a resilience evaluation model of the Tarim River Basin socio-hydrological system from two aspects, vulnerability and adaptability, which is what makes this paper different from other studies. The evaluation index weights were determined using a comprehensive assignment, and the barrier factors and evolutionary characteristics of the system resilience were revealed based on the TOPSIS algorithm and barrier degree model. The results show that (1) during the period 2001–2020, the resilience of the socio-hydrological system in the Tarim River Basin showed a fluctuating upward trend, with the calculated values mainly in the range of 0.8–1.5, and the overall resilience level was mainly at the medium or good level; (2) from the changes in each criterion layer, the vulnerability and adaptability of the Tarim River Basin showed a fluctuating upward trend from 2001 to 2020, with an increase in vulnerability and adaptability; and (3) the main barriers to the resilience of the socio-hydrological system in the Tarim River Basin are the degree of pollution of surface water sources and the amount of water consumption per 10,000 yuan of GDP. We believe that we should continue to change the economic development model, vigorously develop water-saving irrigation technology, improve water resource utilisation and economic benefits, and improve the overall resilience of the socio-hydrological system. A full understanding of the evolutionary characteristics of the resilience of socio-hydrological systems and the main influencing factors can provide a theoretical basis for future water resources development and utilisation, socio-economic development, and related policy formulation.

“…We have demonstrated the linkage of NASAaccess platform in the SWATOnline example (McDonald et al, 2019) where a decision support system for the lower Mekong River Basin has been shown. Another potential application could be also shown in disseminating climate information for developing countries (Dinku et al, 2014;Dinku et al, 2018) similar to our demonstration in the Se Kong, Se San, and Sre Pok part of the lower Mekong (Mohammed et al, 2022). NASAaccess also gives the user automatic, quick, and accurate way for working with remote sensing earth observation data using R and conda environments.…”

Abstract. NASA has launched a new initiative; the Open-Source Science Initiative (OSSI) to enable and support science towards openness. The OSSI initiative supports open-source software development and dissemination. In this work, we present NASAaccess which is an open-source software package and web-based environmental modeling application for earth observation data accessing, reformatting, and presenting quantitative data products. The main objective of developing the NASAaccess platform is to facilitate exploration, modeling, and understanding of earth data for scientists, stakeholders, and concerned citizens whose objectives align with the new OSSI goals. The NASAaccess platform is available as software packages (i.e., R and conda packages) as well as an interactive format web-based environmental modeling application for earth observation data developed with the Tethys Platform. The NASAaccess has been envisioned to lower the technical barriers and simplify the process of accessing scalable distributed computing resources and leverage additional software for data and computationally intensive modeling frameworks. Specifically, NASAaccess is developed to meet the need for seamless earth observation remote sensing and climate data ingestion into various hydrological modeling frameworks. Moreover, NASAaccess is also contributing to keep interested parties and stakeholders engaged with environmental modeling, accessing the information available in various remote sensing products. NASAaccess current capabilities covers various NASA datasets and products that include the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) data products, the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) land surface states and fluxes, and the NASA Earth Exchange Global Daily Downscaled Projections (NEX-GDDP) Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) & Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) climate change dataset products.

“…Such a situation will affect changes in the components of the water balance, and consequently a change in water resources management. For example, climate changes in the area of Mekong will lead to an increase in precipitation, resulting in the necessity of change in the operation of dams, from the maintenance of low flows to improvement of flood safety [44]. Due to direct impact on climate change on the hydrological regime, Saudi Arabia has constructed more than 500 dams with different capacities in the scope of economic and environmental development [45].…”

Influence of the Jeziorsko Dam Reservoir on Water Flow in the Warta River

et al. 2022

The progressing development of civilisation and climate change require access to an appropriate quantity of environmental resources. One of the key resources is water. Both its deficit and excess evidently affect human life. Control over water circulation is possible owing to water management, largely involving introduction of hydraulic structures. The paper analyses the effect of the Jeziorsko dam reservoir on the flows of the Warta River, the third largest river in Poland. It analyses water flows in the Warta River in the years 1993–2020 for hydrological stations above and below the reservoir. The conducted research showed that the construction of the Jeziorsko reservoir also substantially contributed to an increase in minimum flows and a decrease in maximum flows. Moreover, the simulation showed that in the case of abscence of the reservoir, the flows of the Warta River would be higher in the period from January to June, and in the period from July to October the opposite situation would occur. In November and December, the flows would be at a similar level. Results obtained in the study, show that hydraulic structures are an effective solution in the context of stabilisation of the hydrological situation in a given region, particularly in terms of hydrological lows occurring with increasing intensity mitigated on sections of rivers below the reservoirs.
