The underlying uncertainties in the prediction of freshwater evolutions in some regions can
be induced by several unmitigated human actions, multi-scale climatic drivers, and dynamic …

Rice production involves abundant water and fertilizer inputs and is prone to nitrogen (N)
loss via surface runoff and leaching, resulting in agricultural diffuse pollution. Based on a …

Climate variability and human activities are the two major driving forces of changes in the
hydrological cycle. However, how these two factors separately influence the water cycle in …

Land use change (LUC) impacts on the soil water balance is important for effective water
resources management and land use planning. The Loess Plateau of China has loess …

Groundwater depletion has been a global concern due to unreasonable agricultural water
managements. Identifying long-term impacts of crop rotation systems on hydrological …

Reducing nitrate leaching may not result in a significant improvement of groundwater
quality. The amount of nitrate reaching groundwater depends not only on the hazard related …

In rice areas with shallow aquifers, an evaluation of alternative irrigation strategies should
include the interactions between irrigation and groundwater recharge and reuse, which …

Headwaters provide many ecosystems services. Currently, these vulnerable systems are
subject to threats related to human activities. This work aims to analyse the spatial pattern …

These papers (part I and part II) emphasize the need for sensitivity and uncertainty analyses.
A number of techniques are applied, eg latin hypercube sampling, impact response surfaces …

In order to achieve worldwide food security, there is a focus on sustainable intensification of
