Impacts of Cascade Reservoirs on Adjacent Climate and Land Use Change in the Upper Yellow River, China

Applied Sciences, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(5), P. 2816 - 2816

Published: March 5, 2025

The Yellow River (YR), China’s second-largest river, is rich in water resources, particularly its upper reaches, which are characterized by mountainous canyons and considerable hydropower potential. Since the 1950s, 24 reservoirs have been constructed along a 918 km stretch of (UYR), creating highest concentration cascade reservoirs. This development has had significant ecological impacts on surrounding environment. study examines relationship between reservoir attributes climate factors to evaluate environmental effects UYR. (1) Following construction, average annual temperature precipitation increased 3–10%, though seasonal spatial distributions varied. Temperature increases were most pronounced winter, while decreased some regions during spring summer, although overall trend remained positive. (2) ecosystem experienced post-construction changes, including reductions arable land, grassland, unused bodies, construction forests expanded. Consequently, within area now accounts for 5.2–12.5% total region. (3) closely linked attributes, with storage volume (CAP) long-term flow (DIS) significantly affecting precipitation, surface (AREA) normal level (FSL) greater influence temperature. In conclusion, dual local land use highlight complex mechanisms involved, providing valuable insights future protection Basin similar regions.

Drought management for long-term water sustainability and resilience

Marine and Freshwater Research, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 76(5)

Published: March 19, 2025

Context The global water crisis is driven by human overconsumption, depleting resources faster than they can regenerate. This threatens ecosystems and exacerbates drought-related shortages, which may escalate into international conflicts if not properly managed. Aims study assesses the effectiveness of drought indices in evaluating managing droughts to determine their role developing mitigation plans against scarcity. It also highlights strategies reduce risks prevent future through proactive approaches. Methods Drought measure severity frequency various regions identify patterns availability most drought-prone areas. In addition discussed indices, traditional innovative risk management for will be analysed, particularly focusing on vulnerable Key results Communities mankind are becoming more exposed meteorological disasters ranging from flooding attributed minimal or excess rain. Analysis multi-dimensional aspects lead better understanding how activities, such as mining deforestation, increase this natural occurrence. By applying knowledge, we avoid practices that overheighten effects dry weather conditions. growing population means new approaches necessary food sustainability security balance with environmental protection resource conservation. Conclusion concludes large-scale engineering projects relief harm agricultural land, advocating sustainable, eco-friendly solutions. emphasises need improved conservation efforts, prioritising replenishment over artificial interventions. Implications findings advocate nature-based ecological damage, enhance long-term resilience, emphasise cooperation conflicts, linking ecosystem sustainability.
