Abstract Climate change and anthropogenic interventions have obviously altered the eco-hydrological regimes. A quantitative evaluation attribution of alterations are urgently required. In this study, we evaluated various attributions regimes in Weihe River Basin (WRB). Firstly, trends change-point analysis hydrological elements were examined, natural streamflow was reproduced based on variable infiltration capacity model. Then, most ecologically relevant indicators (ERHIs) selected combined with eco-deficit eco-surplus to assess degree regime alterations. Finally, relative contributions quantified using ‘simulated–observed comparison’ method. The results showed that (1) WRB exhibited significant decreasing (p < 0.01), a point 0.01) series identified 1990. (2) Seven representative alteration as ERHIs. (3) During human-induced period (1991–2017), human activities dominant factors well variations ERHI indexes metrics. Overall, proposed framework may improve understanding driving forces under changing environment.

Meteorological to hydrological drought propagation has been widely studied reflect the relationship between these categories and better understand mechanisms. However, global warming may alter features, which are not fully understood. This study aims investigate changes in meteorological conditions, especially their features 1.5–3.0°C warmer climates for 8,655 watersheds globally. First, three-month scale standardized precipitation index runoff calculated based on simulated by 15 climate models four models, respectively. Drought events then identified using run theory, followed calculation of (i.e., pooling, lag, lengthening) matched droughts. As a result, both conditions duration severity) would relieve due increased regions excluding Western North America, South Mediterranean, Southern Africa, East Asia, Australia. be more severe during from droughts over most regions. During propagation, worsening half serious first relieved with rising temperature. These results indicate that efforts slow down can suppress deterioration propagation.

Abstract This study aims to quantify meteorological–hydrological drought propagations and examine the potential impacts by climatic variability, LULC change (LULC), human regulations. An integrated observation-modeling framework quantifies propagation intervals assesses mechanisms influencing hydrological droughts. Meteorological droughts are characterized using Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI), assessed through Streamflow (SSI) across diverse zones. Cross-correlation analysis between SPEI SSI time series identifies lag associated with highest correlation as interval. Mechanisms investigated via a coupled empirical-process modeling incorporating Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). Discrepancies simulated observed help extent of regulation on characteristics propagation. The Yellow River Basin (YRB), divided into six subzones based climate characteristics, is selected case study. Key findings include: (1) were extremely severe most YRB during 1990s, while 2000s showed some mitigation primarily due precipitation increases. (2) Hydrological times from meteorology hydrology demonstrated substantial spatiotemporal variability. In general, summer shorter than other seasons. (3) Propagation in arid regions cropland or built-up land cover versus grassland woodland, reverse held for humid regions. (4) Human regulations prolonged times, likely reservoir designed overcome water deficits. While focus this paper, methodologies applicable worldwide enhance forecasting resource management. various contexts worldwide.

Abstract GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) has been widely used to evaluate terrestrial water storage (TWS) groundwater (GWS). However, the coarse‐resolution of data limited ability identify local vulnerabilities in changes associated with climatic anthropogenic stressors. This study employs high‐resolution (1 km 2 ) generated through machine learning (ML) based statistical downscaling illuminate TWS GWS dynamics across twenty sub‐regions Indus Basin. Monthly anomalies obtained from a geographically weighted random forest (RF gw model maintained good consistency original at 25 grid scale. The downscaled 1 resolution illustrate spatial heterogeneity depletion within each sub‐region. Comparison in‐situ 2,200 monitoring wells shows that significantly improves agreement data, evidenced by higher Kling‐Gupta Efficiency (0.50–0.85) correlation coefficients (0.60–0.95).
