    “What happens when communities face 'too much water' during the monsoon and 'too little water' during the dry season?

    For the first time, a geologic map funded through the STATEMAP component of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program was published in direct response to a Tribal Nation’s science needs.
    The Utah Geological Survey, in collaboration with the Navajo Nation, recently published the geologic map of the Oljeto 7.5-minute quadrangle in southeastern Utah.
    STATEMAP plays a critical role nationwide by matching federal funds with state geological surveys to produce high-priority geologic maps that address societal needs, from infrastructure planning and responsible land use to natural hazard mitigation and groundwater resource management.
    Geologic maps provide a foundational framework for understanding Earth’s resources and processes. Detailed mapping gives resource managers and other stakeholders the scientific information they need to make informed decisions about the land and resources they manage.
    For the Oljeto quadrangle, the mapping work supports Navajo Nation science needs by helping better understand the relationship between regional geology and groundwater resources.

    “Are global river flows no longer natural? Can we really talk about natural rivers? [The authors] started asking ourselves these questions a few years ago over wonderful discussion sessions.
    [They] argue that global river systems have entered a new phase, one of Anthropogenic River Flows, where flow regimes arise from the persistent interaction of:
    • the physical alteration of river systems,
    • the institutional and socio-technical organisation of water use and allocation
    • broader global and systemic processes operating across scales.
    In the Anthropocene, these domains do not operate independently because a change in one alters how the other two function. Global water risks and river flow properties then become an emergent property of these interactions.
    As a result, [the authors] call for a rethinking of how we study, understand, and manage river flows to better reflect this new reality…”

  21. Modeling Climate Change Impacts On Blue And Green Water In The Ethiopian Upper Blue Nile Basin

    “The present study assesses the impacts of climate change on blue and green water in the Kessie Watershed of the Ethiopian Upper Blue Nile Basin using the SWAT+ model.
    [The authors] set up [a] SWAT+ model using quality-controlled and homogenized observational climate time series… and calibrated it using a multisite calibration approach. [They] selected CMIP6 climate models for future simulations and bias-correction methods through a comprehensive performance assessment... Building on these previous studies, the present research further evaluates the reliability of combining robust climate-model selection with optimal bias-correction methods to improve the reliability of hydrological simulations.

    KEY FINDINGS:

    • Ensembles of CMIP6 climate models improved the reliability of hydrological simulations compared with individual climate models.
    • Optimized climate-model selection reduced biases in hydrological simulations more than bias correction alone.
    • Arbitrary selection of climate models can degrade hydrological simulations, even when their outputs are bias-corrected using robust methods.
    • Both blue and green water are projected to increase under future climate change in the Ethiopian Upper Blue Nile Basin.
    • Blue water exhibits greater seasonality and climate sensitivity than green water flow and green water storage.
