Abstract One of the world's largest revegetation programs, Grain for Green Project (GfGP), has been taking place on Loess Plateau China since 1999. Such massive causes changes in region's hydrological cycle, water availability, and ecological sustainability through enhanced evapotranspiration ( ET ). Here we quantify effects GfGP's over this water‐stressed region. Our approach involves use a modified Priestley‐Taylor Jet Propulsion Laboratory (PT‐JPL) model, incorporating vegetation dynamics...
Abstract Since 1999, the Loess Plateau, China, has undergone one of world's largest revegetation programs (Grain for Green Project, GfGP). Revegetation profound impacts on hydrological cycle and water balance, especially in arid semi‐arid areas. As an essential component long‐term change storage ( ΔS ) is generally treated as zero. However, it remains unclear how to define time scale “long‐term,” over regions undergoing dramatic vegetation restoration. In this study, we quantify Plateau from...
Abstract The Inland River Area of China (IRAC), being the most water‐stressed region in world, faced with increasingly severe ecological degradation risk and water shortage issue under global climate warming. Previous studies indicated that IRAC have changed from warm‐dry to warm‐wet, because both precipitation ( P ) air temperature increased. However, analysis this study, considering effects change on hydrologic cycle rather than simply conditions, indicates there has been no substantial a...
Abstract The lack of reliable estimation water demand in drought study has been an important obstacle efforts for characterizing the variability consumption and its effects on monitoring prediction, particularly over water‐stressed regions. This evaluated performance contribution three modified estimates modeling, including Penman–Monteith (PM) method, dual‐source potential evapotranspiration model (2S PET model), climatically appropriate existing conditions precipitation ( ). results show...
Abstract Upstream inland rivers provide most of water resources for midstream and downstream in arid semiarid regions. From the perspective ecological rehabilitation, it is necessary to simultaneously ensure upstream streamflow while still maintaining economy‐ecosystem balance upstream. However, vegetation dynamics effects caused by rehabilitation cannot be well evaluated previous studies due sparseness observations at regional scales. With increased availability hydrological data, now...
There has been growing evidence suggesting a rising frequency and/or intensity of droughts in tropical regions warming climate. Singapore, water-scarce city heavily reliant on water imports, faces heightened vulnerability to extreme drought episodes. Preparing for unprecedented is thus pivotal this island safeguard sustainable and resilient supply. However, the accuracy quantifying probability severity droughts, such as those with 1000-year return period, hindered by observations (e.g., situ...
