Groundwater constitutes 99% of all liquid freshwater globally that is available for human use. levels in the Nairobi aquifer system (NAS) have been declining over time because excessive abstraction fueled by increased water demand. This has cost pumping and drilling boreholes, which unsustainable. The objective this study to determine effect recharge on groundwater using a more realistic approach estimating SWAT model while considering climatic data, soil type, land use/cover, topography. Recharge obtained from was applied MODFLOW system. Results showed average annual 73 mm, about 9.7% precipitation. decreased with an increase decrease vice versa. will 76 m year 2063 if rate kept constant maintained, 14m 2030 trend continues constant. should be regulated according enhanced avoid possible depletion groundwater.

Abstract The wetland loss rate in Iran is faster than the global average. Comprehending shrinkage Iranian wetlands and identifying underlying drivers of these changes essential for safeguarding their ecosystems' health services. This study proposes a novel gray‐box modeling framework to quantify effects climate change anthropogenic activities on wetlands, by combining process‐based machine learning models. developed model utilized project Anzali coastal simulating complex interaction between meteorological, hydrological, sea water level characteristics, surface area.

A comprehensive range Land Use/Cover scenarios are analyzed. results show that will seasonally desiccate 2058, mainly due increasing air temperature, reduction precipitation inflow, excessive sediment loading wetland, decline Caspian Sea level. For optimistic scenarios, where no considered, gradually diminish become seasonal waterbody outcomes this highlight desiccation has profound implications regional‐scale ecological balance, ecosystem function, public health, local economy.

In this study, prediction of the future land use cover (LULC) changes over Mumbai and its surrounding region, India, was conducted to have reference information in urban development. To obtain historical dynamics LULC, a supervised classification algorithm applied Landsat images 1992, 2002, 2011. Based on spatial drivers LULC 1992 multiple perceptron neural network (MLPNN)-based Markov chain model (MCM) simulate 2011, which further validated using kappa statistics. Thereafter, by 2002 2011 MLPNN-MCM predict 2050. This study predicted prompt growth suburban regions Mumbai, shows, 2050, Urban class will occupy 46.87% (1328.77 km2) entire area. As compared Forest areas 2050 increase 14.31% 2.05%, respectively, while area under Agriculture/Sparsely Vegetated Barren decline 16.87%.

To achieve this, for area under study were characterised from 30 m Landsat data, using eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm. After classification, key balance components namely; interception, transpiration evapotranspiration (ET) contributions each class estimated. Image classification data achieved good overall accuracies above 80% two periods. Results showed percentage plantation types decreased slightly (25.4%) (22.5%). Partitioning annual ET according to classes highest amounts basin where tea had catchment. Higher ET, interception observed eastern parts At catchment level, results show a higher than 2009, which was partly explained by decrease type.
