Prolonged exposure to nitrate in drinking water does not adversely impact prenatal or birth outcomes in a rat model Open
Nitrate (NO3-) is a common drinking water contaminant associated with increased risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes at concentrations below the World Health Organisation (WHO) drinking water guidelines (50mg/L NO3-). However, causal eviden…
Prenatal nitrate and nitrite intake in mammals: A scoping review of effects and associations with pregnancy and maternal and child health Open
Nitrate and nitrite are present in drinking water, vegetables and processed meats. While they may offer health benefits in some contexts, high levels, especially during pregnancy, can be harmful. This scoping review investigates prenatal n…

Hydrogeology, European colonialism, local communities and First Peoples: moving beyond business as usual Open
European colonialism altered the connections between First Peoples, local communities, and groundwater systems across the world. In many countries, the practice of hydrogeology remains intertwined with the economic agendas of colonial sett…
Monitoring deep unsaturated zones in Western Australia to reveal crucial insights for water resources management Open
Soil moisture observations have been collected since the late 1950s and are relatively abundant in the northern hemisphere. These readings are generally taken at shallow depths with sensors rarely installed more than 2 metres below the sur…
Advancing estimates of groundwater recharge by integrating multi-sensor observations across the vadose zone in a drying climate Open
Understanding the impact of climate change on groundwater recharge is crucial for the sustainable management of groundwater systems, especially when regulatory agencies are managing aquifers already fully allocated. Recharge emerges as the…
Identifying intermittent river sections with similar hydrology using remotely sensed metrics Open
As the human population grows and the demand for freshwater intensifies, river systems previously overlooked for water production are increasingly being earmarked for development. Many of these rivers are intermittent or in remote location…
A hydrological framework for persistent pools along non-perennial rivers Open
Persistent surface water pools along non-perennial rivers represent an important water resource for plants, animals, and humans. While ecological studies of these features are not uncommon, these are rarely accompanied by a rigorous examin…

Ecohydrological metrics derived from multispectral images to characterize surface water in an intermittent river Open
Accurately describing the hydrology of intermittent rivers is a critical step in improving our understanding and management of freshwater ecosystems. Traditional approaches such as using gauged discharge data provide little information onc…

Prioritizing Engagement of a Diverse Student Cohort in Online Hydrology Learning at the University of Western Australia Open
Like most water education institutions worldwide, hydrology instructors at the University of Western Australia (UWA) had to rapidly adapt traditional teaching strategies to manage the COVID-19 pandemic. With diverse student cohorts, includ…

An overview of the hydrology of non‐perennial rivers and streams Open
Non‐perennial rivers and streams are ubiquitous on our planet. Although several metrics have been used to statistically group or compare streamflow characteristics, there is currently no widely used definition of how many days or over what…
Response to R2 - clarification of the value and novelty of the manuscript Open
Thank you to the reviewer for taking the time to review our paper and give useful and constructive comments.We appreciate the feedback and constructive criticism, which has identified important aspects to be improved and will help us to re…
A hydrological framework for persistent river pools in semi-arid environments Open
Persistent surface water pools along non-perennial rivers represent an important water resource for the plants, animals, and humans that inhabit semi-arid regions. While ecological studies of these features are not uncommon, these are rare…
Sources and fate of nitrate in groundwater at agricultural operations overlying glacial sediments Open
Leaching of nitrate (NO3-) from animal waste or fertilisers at agricultural operations can result in NO3- contamination of groundwater, lakes, and streams. Understanding the sources and fate of nitrate in groundwater systems in glacial sed…
