DOI: 10.1016/j.cosust.2019.09.001
Abstract: Irrigation systems face unforeseeable changes in climate, technologies, and societal preferences during their lifetime, potentially rendering them obsolete or inadequate. To remain functional, irrigation systems need to be adaptive to changes as the future unfolds.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2019.109009
Abstract: Watersheds are coupled with human-water systems where human, and water resources interact and coevolve with each other. Restoration management not only affects the ecosystem itself but also alters the mutual feedback relationship between humans and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-86383-z
Abstract: While climate change severely affects some aquatic ecosystems, it may also interact with anthropogenic factors and exacerbate their impact. In dry climates, dams can cause hydrological drought during dry periods following a great reduction in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.abm8668
Abstract: Water is essential for survival, but one in three individuals worldwide (2.2 billion people) lacks access to safe drinking water. Water intake requirements largely reflect water turnover (WT), the water used by the body each… read more here.
