Transit times link pollution sources to drinking water quality in a “One Water” system Open
Innovative approaches are needed to manage chronic and emerging water quality challenges in communities that rely on treated wastewater and urban stormwater as sources of raw water for drinking water treatment, or "One Water" systems. When…

Sediment Storage Behind Low‐Head Dams: Assessing Potential Contribution to Reservoir Sedimentation in Kansas, <span>USA</span> Open
Low‐head dams (LHDs) are widespread in river systems, yet the volume of sediment impounded behind them remains largely unquantified. Failure or planned removal of these often‐aging structures can mobilize stored sediment, posing added risk…

Deep Learning Prediction and Interpretation of Riverine Nitrate Export Across the Mississippi River Basin Open
Excess riverine nitrate causes downstream eutrophication, notably in the Gulf of Mexico where hypoxia is linked to nutrient‐rich discharge from the Mississippi River Basin (MRB). We developed a long short‐term memory (LSTM) model using hig…

Ion Clusters Reveal the Sources, Impacts, and Drivers of Freshwater Salinization Open
Population growth, land use change, climate change, and natural resource extraction are driving the salinization of freshwater resources worldwide. Reversing these trends will require data-centric approaches that identify salt sources, env…

Structural Connectivity Shaped by Cryospheric Degradation Modulates Sediment Transport Dynamics in High Mountain Asia Open
Rapid atmospheric warming has transformed cryospheric landscapes, affecting sediment transport processes. However, our understanding of hillslope and riverine connectivity in large headwaters remains limited. Here, we apply the Index of Co…

Collaborative Solutions to Inland Freshwater Salinization Open
Inland freshwater salinization is an emerging and largely unregulated threat to global water security. We demonstrate how Elinor Ostrom’s Social-Ecological Systems (SES) framework for the collective management of common pool resources can …

View article: Complex hydrology and variability of nitrogen sources in a karst watershed
Complex hydrology and variability of nitrogen sources in a karst watershed Open
Streams draining karst areas with rapid groundwater transit times may respond relatively quickly to nitrogen reduction strategies, but the complex hydrologic network of interconnected sinkholes and springs is challenging for determining th…
View article: Revealing nitrate uptake and dispersion dynamics using high-frequency sensors and two-dimensional modeling in a large river system
Revealing nitrate uptake and dispersion dynamics using high-frequency sensors and two-dimensional modeling in a large river system Open
Nitrate pollution of water bodies is a critical issue in many parts of the world because of its negative effects on aquatic ecosystem and human health. Effective management of pollution, such as the continuous or instantaneous release from…
View article: Drivers of cyanotoxin and taste-and-odor compound presence within the benthic algae of human-disturbed rivers
Drivers of cyanotoxin and taste-and-odor compound presence within the benthic algae of human-disturbed rivers Open
Freshwater benthic algae form complex mat matrices that can confer ecosystem benefits but also produce harmful cyanotoxins and nuisance taste-and-odor (T&O;) compounds. Despite intensive study of the response of pelagic systems to anthropo…
View article: Climate change projected to impact structural hillslope connectivity at the global scale
Climate change projected to impact structural hillslope connectivity at the global scale Open
Structural connectivity describes how landscapes facilitate the transfer of matter and plays a critical role in the flux of water, solutes, and sediment across the Earth’s surface. The strength of a landscape’s connectivity is a function o…

Urbanization as a limiter and catalyst of watershed-scale sediment transport: Insights from probabilistic connectivity modeling Open
The conversion of rural lands to urban areas exerts considerable influence on the hydrologic processes governing sediment transport at the watershed scale. While the effects of urbanization on hydrology have been well-studied, the correspo…

Investigating sediment transport in karst using hydrograph unmixing, sediment transport modeling and multi-source hysteresis Open
Karst characterizes almost 15% of the worlds terrain, however the mechanics of sediment transport and its prediction in karst river and cave systems remains underdeveloped. Hysteresis analysis has recently been used more to investigate the…
