Systematic literature reviews can provide an objective global overview of background research on hydrological questions. This study presents a methodology to ensure rigor, traceability, and replicability in evaluating state-of-the-art hydrological topics. The proposed methodology involved systematic, objective, and explicit steps. Strategies with defined selection criteria were used to search the relevant literature comprehensively and accurately on hydrological uncertainty as a case study. The most pertinent documents were filtered to build a critical state-of-the-art synthesis for evaluating their quality and relevance. This methodology allows systematic literature analysis to provide an objective summary of the evidence, with a structured procedure for state-of-the-art reviews, which promotes transparency in the search, unlike typical review papers that lack reproducible methodologies that may lead to obtaining a potentially subjective reference selection. Consequently, the proposed methodology improves reference reliability and study reproducibility while generalizing the methodology. This procedure has proven effective and practical for building state-of-the-art research in the study case (State-of-the-art Uncertainty in Hydrological forecasting from 2017 to 2023) and can be considered a relevant tool in hydrology and other STEM disciplines, providing a rigorous and transparent approach that enhances evidence quality and reliability.

“…Coastal GDEs include an array of habitats, such as freshwater and brackish wetland systems reliant on seasonal groundwater discharge, or ecosystems within the marine zone that rely on submarine groundwater discharge, such as coral reefs. In coastal environments, groundwater plays a critical, though often overlooked role in regulating a range of biological and chemical processes that contribute to the function of ecological communities and the resilience of coastal landscapes, particularly under climatic drying (Dyring et al 2022).…”

Coastal Groundwater‐Dependent Ecosystems are Falling Through Policy Gaps

Coastal groundwater‐dependent ecosystems (GDEs), such as wetlands, estuaries and nearshore marine habitats, are biodiversity hotspots that provide valuable ecosystem services to society. However, coastal groundwater and associated ecosystems are under threat from groundwater exploitation and depletion, as well as climate change impacts from sea‐level rise and extreme flood and drought events. Despite many well‐intentioned policies focused on sustainable groundwater use and species protection, coastal GDEs are falling through gaps generated by siloed policies and as a result, are declining in extent and ecological function. This study summarized then examined policies related to the management of coastal groundwater and connected ecosystems in two key case study areas: Queensland (Australia) and California (USA). Despite both areas being regarded as having progressive groundwater policy, our analysis revealed three universal policy gaps, including (1) a lack of recognition of the underlying groundwater system, (2) fragmented policies and complex governance structures that limit coordination, and (3) inadequate guidance for coastal GDE management. Overall, our analysis revealed that coastal GDE conservation relied heavily on inclusion within protected areas or was motivated by species recovery, meaning supporting groundwater systems remained underprotected and outside the remit of conservation efforts. To close these gaps, we consider the adoption of ecosystem‐based management principles to foster integrated governance between disparate agencies and consider management tools that bridge traditional conservation realms. Our findings advocate for comprehensive policy frameworks that holistically address the complexities of coastal GDEs across the land‐sea continuum to foster their long‐term sustainability and conservation.
