Investigating the Influence of Changing Climate Patterns on Seasonal Water Availability Within Transboundary River Systems
Abstract: Climate change is significantly altering hydrological systems, particularly in transboundary river basins, which are crucial for regional economies, ecosystems, and human well-being. Variations in precipitation patterns, temperature fluctuations, and altered snowmelt are increasing the unpredictability of seasonal water availability, intensifying risks of both water scarcity and flooding. These shifts pose severe challenges to water management, often leading to disputes and complicating regional cooperation among riparian nations. This study investigates the …

Integrated Remote Sensing Indices for Assessing Pre-Monsoon Water Scarcity Vulnerability in a Semi-Arid Coastal Ecosystem: A Case Study of Barda Wildlife Sanctuary, Gujarat, India
Abstract: Freshwater availability fundamentally shapes the structure and function of dryland ecosystems, where evapotranspiration exceeds precipitation for most of the year. Protected areas in semiarid regions face intensifying hydrological stress from climate variability, growing wildlife populations, and resident human communities, yet systematic spatial assessments of water scarcity remain scarce for many critical habitats. The Barda Wildlife Sanctuary in coastal Gujarat, India, has recently become a secondary home for the endangered Asiatic …

Impact of Phosphorus Application Rates on Yield and Yield Components of Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Varieties in Relation to Water Resources at Yabello, Southern Oromia, Ethiopia
Abstract: Common bean is a key legume crop with significant economic importance in Ethiopia, particularly in the southern region of Oromia. One of the primary constraints to common bean productivity in this region is the issue of soil fertility, which is exacerbated by water scarcity. This study was conducted to assess the impact of phosphorus (P) fertilizer rates on common bean growth and yield, as well as to identify sustainable management …

Integrated Water Balance and Water Stress Index–Based Sustainability Assessment of a Semi-Arid Island Ecosystem
Abstract: Freshwater scarcity is an increasingly critical challenge in semi-arid island environments due to limited natural water availability, high dependence on seasonal rainfall, growing population pressure, and expanding agricultural activities. Island ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to water stress because they often lack perennial surface water sources and rely heavily on groundwater recharge during short and highly variable monsoon periods. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of water demand, post-monsoon water availability, …

Variation In Wave Steepness and Wave Age-A Case Study in The Arabian Sea from Buoy Measurements During Post-Monsoon
Abstract: The National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) moored buoy measurements in the Central Arabian Sea (AS) at AD07 location (68.87 E, 15.07 N) during the year 2015 are utilized to understand wind and wave growth characteristics at this location during the post- monsoon season covering the three-month period from October to December (OND). The wave direction followed the wind from Northeast while the swells were predominantly from the Southern Indian …

Soil Fertility Assessment of Selected Villages in Bhuban Block, Dhenkanal, Odisha, India
Abstract: Using the Global Positioning System (GPS), the soil fertility condition of the Bhuban block in the Dhenkanal district of Odisha was prepared. In 5 villages in the Bhuban block of the Dhenkanal district, located in the central mid-tableland Agroclimatic region of Odisha, India, a study on the status of soil fertility was conducted.It is evident that the Bhuban block's several villages have varying textural classes, from loam to sand. In …

Seasonal Dynamics of Coastal Landscapes: A Critical Review Using Remote Sensing and GIS
Abstract: Coastal landscapes are among the most dynamic environments on Earth, undergoing continuous transformation due to both natural processes and anthropogenic activities. In India, particularly along the southern coastal regions of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala, shoreline morphology and sediment transport patterns are significantly influenced by seasonal monsoons, cyclones, storm surges, waves, tides, and changing river discharges. These factors contribute to varying rates of coastal erosion, accretion, inundation, and land- …

Evaluation of Irrigation Regime on Onion Yield in Konta Special Woreda, Ethiopia
Abstract: Irrigation scheduling (when and how much to apply) is the primary tool to improve water use efficiency, increase crop yields, increase the availability of water resources, and contribute positive effect for the quality of soil and ground water. Field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years to determine appropriate scheduling of onion production. The experiments were arranged in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four treatments (T1 = 125% manageable …
