[G]lobal Decline In Endorheic Basin Water Storages

“Endorheic (hydrologically landlocked) basins spatially concur with arid/semi-arid climates. Given limited precipitation but high potential evaporation, their water storage is vulnerable to subtle flux perturbations, which are exacerbated by global warming and human activities. Increasing regional evidence suggests a probably recent net decline in endorheic water storage, but this remains unquantified at a global scale. By integrating satellite observations and hydrological modelling, [they] reveal[ed] that during 2002–2016 the global endorheic system experienced a widespread water loss of about 106.3 Gt/yr, attributed to comparable losses in surface water, soil moisture and groundwater. This decadal decline, disparate from water storage fluctuations in exorheic basins, appears less sensitive to El Niño–Southern Oscillation-driven climate variability, which implies a possible response to longer-term climate conditions and human water management. In the mass-conserved hydrosphere, such an endorheic water loss not only exacerbates local water stress, but also imposes excess water on exorheic basins, leading to a potential sea level rise that matches the contribution of nearly half of the land glacier retreat (excluding Greenland and Antarctica). Given these dual ramifications, [they] suggest the necessity for long-term monitoring of water storage variation in the global endorheic system and the inclusion of its net contribution to future sea level budgeting…”

Fault permeability and activation duration govern vertical overpressure transfer, while permeable fault-connected sand bodies rapidly re-equilibrate basin pressure systems and redirect deep fluid migration.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@sflorg/116003437911970681

This interesting #study is based on ancient lake #sediment #analyses from the #Bogotá #Basin. It proves that the existing #climatemodels about the #Pliocene were underestimated regardung tropical regions. This allows prognoses, according to which also the global warming of today may bring more heat in some #tropicalzones than expected.

River Network Routing And Discharge Partitioning On A Multichannel River Network

https://doi.org/10.1029/2025WR041417 <-- shared paper

"... KEY POINTS:
• River multifurcation pathways were identified in a vector river network globally
• A multifurcation scheme was added to a river network routing model to split river discharge at divergences
• Accounting for multichannels improved discharge accuracy and resulted in earlier arrival of flood waves downstream of divergences…”

Estimating Increased Transient Water Storage With Increases In Beaver Dam Activity
--
https://doi.org/10.3390/w16111515 <-- shared paper
--
“Dam building by beaver (Castor spp.) slows water movement through montane valleys, increasing transient water storage and the diversity of residence times. In some cases, water storage created by beaver dam construction is correlated to changes in streamflow magnitude and timing. However, the total amount of additional surface and groundwater storage that beaver dams may create (and, thus, their maximum potential impact on streamflow) has not been contextualized in the water balance of larger river basins..."

Another dynamic monsoon afternoon in southern New Mexico.

Looking north, a wall of thunderstorms is moving toward us...and from the high terrain you can see them coming from quite a long way off.

Looking west, the gust front from the advancing storms is kickup up clouds of gypsum dust on the northern edge of White Sands.

[Update: two hours later this line of storms produced this image: https://universeodon.com/@KrajciTom/115250961734311628 ]
