Masese, Frank O. (author), Wanderi, Elizabeth W. (author), Nyakeya, Kobingi (author), Achieng, Alfred O. (author), Fouchy, Kelly (author), McClain, M.E. (author)Many streams and rivers outside conservation areas across the Afrotropics face multiple stressors from land use change, urbanization, and excessive water withdrawals. Thus, there is a need to develop cost-effective tools for assessing and monitoring ecological changes to inform management decisions. Studies utilizing macroinvertebrate...journal article 2023

Liu, S. (author), Zhou, Yangxiao (author), Zang, Yining (author), McClain, M.E. (author), Wang, Xu sheng (author)The Yongding River (Beijing, China) was dry most times of the year, and groundwater storage was severely depleted. To address this issue, a river rehabilitation project was initiated. A downstream environmental flow release (EFR) project from upstream reservoirs has been implemented since 2019. This study evaluated the impact of EFR by...journal article 2023

Nazeer, A. (author), Maskey, Shreedhar (author), Skaugen, Thomas (author), McClain, M.E. (author)In the high altitude Hindukush Karakoram Himalaya (HKH) mountains, the complex weather system, inaccessible terrain and sparse measurements make the elevation-distributed precipitation and temperature among the most significant unknowns. The elevation-distributed snow and glacier dynamics in the HKH region are also little known, leading to...journal article 2023

Salinas Rodriquez, Sergio (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), McClain, M.E. (author)Environmental flow (eflow) reference values play a key role in environmental water science and practice. In Mexico, eflow assessments are set by a norm in which the frequency of occurrence is the managing factor to integrate inter-annual and seasonal flow variability components into environmental water reserves. However, the frequency parameters...journal article 2022

Faiz Alam, Mohammad (author), McClain, M.E. (author), Sikka, Alok (author), Daniel, D (author), Pande, S. (author)Rainwater harvesting systems (RWHs) are implemented globally to bridge the frequent water supply-demand gaps. This study explores, through farmer household surveys (n = 492), how farmers perceived the benefits of RWHs, the equitability of benefits, and the role of contextual and psychological factors towards the behaviour of maintaining such...journal article 2022

Nazeer, A. (author), Maskey, Shreedhar (author), Skaugen, Thomas (author), McClain, M.E. (author)In many high altitude river basins, the hydro-climatic regimes and the spatial and temporal distribution of precipitation are little known, complicating efforts to quantify current and future water availability. Scarce, or non-existent, gauged observations at high altitudes coupled with complex weather systems and orographic effects further...journal article 2022

Gani, Md Ataul (author), van der Kwast, Johannes (author), McClain, M.E. (author), Gettel, Gretchen (author), Irvine, Kenneth (author)Geomorphic classification of large rivers identifies morphological patterns, as a foundation for estimating biogeochemical and ecological processes. In order to support the modelling of in-channel nutrient retention or export, the classification of geomorphic units (GUs) was done in the Padma River, Bangladesh, a large and geomorphically...journal article 2022

(author)As part of water resources management policy, water resources projects undertake environmental flow assessments (EFA) to determine how much water should be maintained or released to the downstream part of rivers to protect the health of aquatic and riparian ecosystems and societal wellbeing. In Ethiopia, EFA is being undertaken mostly in...review 2022

Nazeer, A. (author), Maskey, Shreedhar (author), Skaugen, Thomas (author), McClain, M.E. (author)The Upper Indus Basin (UIB) heavily depends on its frozen water resources, and an accelerated melt due to the projected climate change may significantly alter future water availability. The future hydro-climatic regime and water availability of the Hunza basin (a sub-basin of UIB) were analysed using the newly released Coupled Model...journal article 2022

Liu, S. (author), Zhou, Yangxiao (author), Luo, Weijia (author), Wang, Feiran (author), McClain, M.E. (author), Wang, Xu sheng (author)Intensive groundwater exploitation has depleted groundwater storage and led to a series of geo-environmental problems in Beijing Plain, China. Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) has been endorsed to mitigate the groundwater storage depletion and achieve groundwater sustainability. A pilot MAR has been tested in the Chaobai River catchment since...journal article 2022

Alam, M.F. (author), McClain, M.E. (author), Sikka, Alok (author), Pande, S. (author)Increased variability of the water cycle manifested by climate change is a growing global threat to agriculture with strong implications for food and livelihood security. Thus, there is an urgent need for adaptation in agriculture. Agricultural water management (AWM) interventions, interventions for managing water supply and demand, are...review 2022

Teweldebrihan, M.D. (author), Lyu, H. (author), Pande, S. (author), McClain, M.E. (author)Ethiopia depends on rain-fed agriculture with limited use of irrigation for agricultural production. More than 90% of the food supply in the country comes from low productivity rain-fed smallholder agriculture. Since the livelihoods of many farmers depend on rainfed agriculture, this paper investigates how smallholders adapt to climate...journal article 2021

Liu, S. (author), Zhou, Yangxiao (author), Xie, Mingzhao (author), McClain, M.E. (author), Wang, Xu Sheng (author)A coupled regional and local model is required when groundwater flow and solute transport are to be simulated in local areas of interest with a finer grid while regional aquifer boundary and major stresses should be retained with a coarser grid. The coupled model should also maintain interactions between the regional and local flow systems. In...journal article 2021
