Though urban areas represent a small fraction of global land cover, they have an outsized
impact on hydrological processes. Within these areas, the pathways that water follows are …

Rivers that do not flow year-round are the predominant type of running waters on Earth.
Despite a burgeoning literature on natural flow intermittence (NFI), knowledge about the …

Human activities both aggravate and alleviate streamflow drought. Here we show that
aggravation is dominant in contrasting cases around the world analysed with a consistent …

Over half of global rivers and streams lack perennial flow, and understanding the distribution
and drivers of their flow regimes is critical for understanding their hydrologic …

While it is established that climate change and human activities (for example, urbanization,
dams) alter streamflows, there exists considerable uncertainty regarding the relative …

Climate variations and human modifications of the water cycle continue to alter the Earth's
surface water and energy exchanges. It is therefore critical to ascertain how these changes …

The process of urbanization profoundly changes aquatic ecosystems. Urban streams often
have flashier hydrology, increased nutrient and contaminant concentrations, and reduced …

Hydrograph flashiness is a commonly used and valuable measure of hydrologic behavior,
calculated directly from streamflow measurements. There is limited understanding of how …

Green infrastructure (GI) and other stormwater management practices are commonly
designed to reduce stormflow volume and pollutant loads by using infiltration, retention, and …

Urbanization alters subsurface flow pathways through expansion of sanitary collection and
conveyance infrastructure. Inflow and infiltration (I/I) into sewers redistributes slow …
