Contributions from climate variation and human activities to flow regime change of Tonle Sap Lake from 2001 to 2020

Khosro Morovati et al.

Summary: The flow regime of Tonle Sap Lake, the largest lake in Southeast Asia, is driven by the reverse flow phenomenon caused by its connection to the Mekong River. Human activities and climate variations have led to unforeseen alterations in this reverse flow. To understand the specific attributions, a novel modeling setup was developed, which separated the impacts of climate variation, human activities in the upstream basin, and the lower part of the basin. The findings provide insights into Tonle Sap Lake's hydrology and will facilitate transboundary water management in the region.

Non-monotonic changes in Asian Water Towers' streamflow at increasing warming levels

Tong Cui et al.

Summary: This study found non-monotonic changes in river flows for seven major rivers originating from the Tibetan Plateau at warming levels of 1.5 degrees C, 2.0 degrees C, and 3.0 degrees C. River flows decreased by 0.1-3.2% at 1.5 degrees C warming level and increased by 1.5-12% at 3.0 degrees C warming level. The variations in river flows were influenced by rainfall, snowmelt, and glacier melt. Reduced river flows threaten water security in riparian countries, while elevated flood risks are expected with further temperature increases over the Tibetan Plateau.

Combined effects of climatic change and hydrological conditions on thermal regimes in a deep channel-type reservoir

Lidi Shi et al.

Summary: Based on data from 2014 to 2018, this study explores the seasonal variations and influencing factors of water temperature in the Xiangjiaba Reservoir. The results show a strong correlation between water temperature and air temperature, inflow water temperature, and discharge. It is found that climate warming significantly affects the thermal regimes in this reservoir, with the increase in inflow water temperature being the main factor.

Future projection of seasonal drought characteristics using CMIP6 in the Lancang-Mekong River Basin

Zhiqiang Dong et al.

Summary: This study fills the research gap on the seasonal characteristics of drought in the Lancang-Mekong River Basin (LMRB). The results reveal that the LMRB will experience wetter wet seasons and drier dry seasons with rising temperatures. The future trends of drought show spatial heterogeneities. The study emphasizes the need for effective strategies to enhance food and drinking water security, especially during the dry seasons.

Hydrologic balance and inundation dynamics of Southeast Asia's largest inland lake altered by hydropower dams in the Mekong River basin

Huy Dang et al.

Summary: Inland lakes, such as Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia, are being significantly impacted by climate change and dam construction. This study shows that the operation of dams in the Mekong River basin has contributed to alterations in the lake's water balance and inundation dynamics, with important implications for water management.

Assessing the influence of water sampling strategy on the performance of tracer-aided hydrological modeling in a mountainous basin on the Tibetan Plateau

Yi Nan et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the reliance of tracer-aided hydrological modeling performance on the availability of site measurements of water isotopes in the Yarlung Tsangpo river basin on the Tibetan Plateau. It provides important recommendations for collecting site measurements of water isotopes to improve the quantification of runoff components in high-mountain basins.

Drastic decline of flood pulse in the Cambodian floodplains (Mekong River and Tonle Sap system)

Samuel De Xun Chua et al.

Summary: The flood pulse in the Cambodian floodplains has changed, with an increase in minimum water levels and a decrease in maximum water levels, resulting in a reduction in flood extent. The duration of the flooding season has become shorter, starting later and ending earlier. The area of the lake has shrunk and the annual reverse flow has decreased. These changes are primarily caused by human activities such as irrigation and channel erosion.

A Machine learning framework to predict reverse flow and water level: A case study of Tonle Sap Lake

Khosro Morovati et al.

Summary: Reliable assessment of natural interactions in large river-lake systems is essential for water supply planning, flood regulation, and ecosystem services. The study utilized machine learning models to predict water levels during the reverse flow period, highlighting the significant role of the Tonle Sap River in extending this period in some years despite its lower streamflow compared to the Mekong River.

Quantifying spatiotemporal impacts of hydro-dams on land use/land cover changes in the Lower Mekong River Basin

Myung Sik Cho et al.

Summary: This study quantified the spatial impacts of hydro-power dams using an ellipse shape model and various analytical methods, demonstrating the usefulness of the model in capturing the spatial and temporal effects of dams at different construction stages. The results suggested an asymmetric pattern of dam impacts, providing insights for formulating policies related to dam development.

Spatiotemporal assessment of land use/land cover change and associated carbon emissions and uptake in the Mekong River Basin

Xiaojing Tang et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the land use and land cover change in the Mekong River Basin from 2001 to 2019, showing that the establishment of plantations and agricultural expansion are the major components of land use change in the region. The study found that most deforested areas were converted into tree plantations, with carbon uptake from new plantations offsetting almost half of the emissions from deforestation in the area. Assessing post-deforestation land use is crucial for understanding the carbon consequences of land use change.
