Global water resources and the role of groundwater in a resilient water future

Bridget R. Scanlon et al.

Summary: This review discusses the threats to water resources from human activities and climate variability, and explores ways to enhance resilience through green and grey solutions. The article evaluates the current and historical trends in water storage and availability, considering surface water and groundwater as interconnected resources. Diversifying management strategies, such as preserving forests and wetlands and increasing water supplies and storage, can help build a resilient water system.

Water Balance in Alpine Catchments by Sentinel Data

R. Perico et al.

Summary: This study utilized Sentinel satellite data and the water balance approach to estimate groundwater storage in a snow-dominated alpine catchment. The results provide valuable insights into the dynamics of groundwater storage and the effects of physiographic parameters and seasonality on hydrological processes.

Stakeholder perspectives on nature, people and sustainability at Mount Kilimanjaro

Catherine A. Masao et al.

Summary: This study applied the conceptual framework of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) to a participatory assessment of local perspectives on nature, people, and sustainability in Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. The stakeholders agreed that the condition and extent of habitats and Nature's Contributions to People (NCP) are declining, with land use and climate change identified as the key drivers. Measures related to land and water management, education, and awareness were suggested to address the decline in species diversity and its drivers.

A multi-century meteo-hydrological analysis for the Adda river basin (Central Alps). Part I: Gridded monthly precipitation (1800-2016) records

Alice Crespi et al.

Summary: The study presents a reconstruction and analysis of the monthly precipitation record for the upper Adda river basin from 1800 to 2016, showing a long-term decreasing trend in basin precipitation, likely due to increasing evapotranspiration caused by temperature increase and land-use changes.

Review of Modeling Approaches to Groundwater Flow in Deformed Carbonate Aquifers

Giacomo Medici et al.

Summary: The paper discusses three existing modeling approaches to represent groundwater flow in carbonate aquifers: equivalent porous medium, conduit network, and discrete fracture network. Each method is suitable for different characteristics and challenges found in the complex hydrogeological settings of carbonate rocks.

Karst groundwater vulnerability assessment: application of an integrative index-based approach to main catchments of middle Valseriana springs (Northern Italy)

Andrea Citrini et al.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the intrinsic vulnerability of the middle Valseriana in northern Italy using COP and EPIK methods, and developed the COPA+K method to more accurately identify highly vulnerable areas. Results showed that COPA+K was more stringent than COP and could better differentiate the behavior of the two catchments.
