Heavy Rain Episodes Identified by L-band InSAR and Limitations of Split-Spectrum Method in Indonesia by Naufal Setiawan, Masato Furuya

“…Located in a tropical area with abundant precipitation, Indonesia is highly prone to heavy rain hazards, in particular landslides and floods. Thus, rainfall observation is vital. Nonetheless, the topography, the fund availability, as well as the archipelagic state of Indonesia may raise difficulties for in-situ observation, such as rain gauge and weather radar. …”

Temporal variations landscape metrics of vegetation riparian areas in Gharesou River, Ardabil Province by Raoof Mostafazadeh, Fariba Esfandiary, Mahnaz Hamzeei, Nazila Alaei

“…Comparison of river width values ​​over the three study periods indicates an increasing trend in river widths, which may be due to the limitation of river width by human activities or the protection of river banks to protect agricultural lands against flooding effect. Also, the correlation of river width showed that the correlation between time period 2019 and 2016 was 0.63 and significant at 0.001 levels. …”

Improved urban runoff prediction using high-resolution land-use, imperviousness, and stormwater infrastructure data applied to a process-based ecohydrological model. by Jonathan Halama, Robert McKane, Bradley Barnhart, Paul Pettus, Allen Brookes, Kevin Djang, Vivian Phan, Sonali Chokshi, James Graham

“…Modeling large-scale hydrological impacts brought about by site-level green and gray stormwater remediation actions is difficult because urbanized areas are extremely complex dynamic landscapes that include engineered features that, by design, expedite urban runoff to streams, creeks, and other water bodies to reduce urban flooding during storm events. Many urban communities use heavily engineered gray infrastructure to achieve that goal, along with more recent additions of green infrastructure such as rain gardens, bioswales, and riparian corridors. …”

Geography of Sand and Gravel Mining in the Lower Mekong River by Jean-Paul Bravard, Marc Goichot, Stéphane Gaillot

“…Sand and gravel mining from rivers has increased throughout the developed countries since at least the mid-1900s, for construction (concrete) and for landfill (railways, motorways, land reclamation in flooded areas, offshore reclamation). Over the past 30 years, this phenomenon has spread due to the economic development of countries such as China, India and other fast-growing economies of South-East Asia. …”

Comparison of Precipitation Rates from Global Datasets for the Five-Year Period from 2019 to 2023 by Heike Hartmann

“…Reliable climate information including accurate precipitation data is essential for identifying precipitation trends and variability as well as applying hydrologic models for purposes such as estimating (surface) water availability and predicting flooding. In this study, I compared precipitation rates from five reanalysis datasets and one analysis dataset—the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis Version 5 (ERA-5), the Japanese 55-Year Reanalysis (JRA-55), the Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications Version 2 (MERRA-2), the National Center for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research Reanalysis 1 (NCEP/NCAR R1), the NCEP/Department of Energy Reanalysis 2 (NCEP/DOE R2), and the NCEP/Climate Forecast System Version 2 (NCEP/CFSv2)—with the merged satellite and rain gauge dataset from the Global Precipitation Climatology Project in Version 2.3 (GPCPv2.3). …”
