Abstract With the worldwide growing threat of flooding, assessing flood risks for human societies and associated social vulnerability has become a necessary but challenging task. Earlier research indicates that islands usually face heightened due to higher population density, isolation, oceanic activities, while there is an existing lack experience in island-focused risk under complex interactions between geography socioeconomics. In this context, our study employs high-resolution hazard...

This study investigated the adaptive capacity of static and dynamic hedging operating policies to shore up performance, i.e. reliability vulnerability, in irrigation water supply Pong reservoir India, during climate change. The were developed using genetic algorithm optimisation used force simulations for different change perturbed inflow series, whence derive performance. For hedging, fraction remains constant throughout year while this varies monthly or seasonally. Results showed that was...

Understanding how climate change affects coastal ecosystems is one of the most important elements in determining vulnerability and resilience for long-term ecosystem management face increasing risk hazards (e.g., sea level rise, flooding, storm surge). This research attempts to undertake a study on ecosystem–climate nexus Canadian province Prince Edward Island (PEI). Cloud-based remote sensing techniques with Google Earth Engine (GGE) are utilized identify changes over time. In addition,...

It has been increasingly understood that pluvial flooding poses a substantial risk to numerous communities across the globe. This is especially relevant for Canadian province of Prince Edward Island (PEI), which susceptible compound flood consisting both inland and coastal flooding. Despite various studies, comprehensive model still lacks addresses complex interplay floods. Therefore, this research aims bridge gap in mitigation by developing PEI's communities. The...

Strengthening international collaboration is essential to achieving the United Nations' SDGs. The Group of Seven (G7) recognized for acting and enhancing cooperation achieve However, current understanding G7's rather subjective without quantitative measurements. Here we show a comprehensive analysis with regards economic environmental SDGs over period 2000-2020. results suggest that G7 countries have all contributed positively indicators thanks their closely binding relationship. By...

Multiple reservoir operation is of paramount importance due to tradeoffs in water supply and their cost functions. Understanding this complexity important for optimizing increasing synergies gained from the joint operation. Therefore, study aimed develop a conceptual framework addressing effects climate change on security under operating rules multiple system northern France. A dynamic programming approach (DP) was employed find cost–benefit analysis that best fit with objectives operation,...

Climate change in the Indian Himalayan region is being manifested loss of glaciers and altered patterns monsoon rainfall. Simultaneously, rapid population growth together with economic development are increasing sectoral water demands changing land use patterns. This study investigated impact this complex interplay on resources Beas-Sutlej system. The GFDL-CM3 model was used to describe RCP8.5 future meteorological conditions throughout 21st century. Population changes were projected under...

This study investigated the impacts of climate and socio-economic changes on water resources in Beas-Sutlej river basin, Himalaya. Multiple-model ensembles five models forced with Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5 scenario Shared Socio-economic SSP 1 were used. A validated Water Evaluation And Planning (WEAP) model basin was used for assessing resulting sectoral allocations. The results showed increasing runoff during pre-monsoon monsoon seasons, principally as respective...

In this study, we present a comprehensive literature review of the potential impacts climate change on potato storage. Potato preservation can help reduce food loss and waste while increasing long-term security, as potatoes are one most important crops worldwide. The review’s results suggest negatively affect storage, especially tuber sprouting diseases in storage chambers. Lower Sielianinov coefficient values (indicating dry hot conditions) during vegetative season growing lead to earlier...

Climate change poses a serious threat to the environment, socio-economic development, and livelihoods, especially those in developing countries, where severe natural disasters are common. Adaptation strategies mitigation responses for world's most vulnerable people needed, including Greater Mekong Sub-region (defined here as Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, excluding Yunnan Province, China). Within this context, study aims identify areas climate climate-induced water problems...

Reservoir planning without the explicit accommodation of evaporation loss leads to errors in capacity estimates. However, whenever is considered, its quantification uses linear approximations intrinsically nonlinear height–area–storage (H–A–S) relationship estimate reservoir area, leading bias In this work, biases resulting from using various H–A–S models are evaluated. These include and functions, either specifically developed for case-study sites or available Global Dam (GRanD) database....

Abstract Sustainable water resources management and community engagement are essential for security. Referring to the above context, this study proposed carry out an assessment of irrigation in Nam Haad Left Irrigation Project (NHLIP). The household level practices farmers’ levels participation NHLIP were carefully considered. From respondents’ responses, results revealed that a husband-wife partnership plays remarkable role rice farming. also proved most respondents engage with high...

Abstract The quantification of economic losses due to floods becomes necessary in flood management. In this context, the study aims assess insights into damage under potential impacts climate change central Vietnam. HadGEM3–RA Regional Climate Model (RCM) Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios was used study. A bias correction technique for adjusting RCM simulations applied correct input data systematic statistical deviations from observed data. addition, a...

This work assessed the effects of joint operation on performance multipurpose, multireservoir systems vis-à-vis standalone operation. The analysis used multipurpose Pong and Bhakra reservoirs in northern India. Zone-based rule curves with or without hedging optimized using genetic algorithms were for operating reservoirs. results showed that configurations produced irrigation water reliability exceeding 90%, but vulnerability indices (40% 58% Bhakra) also high. Hedging tempered...

Mitigating climate change by reducing heat-trapping greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the Earth’s atmosphere is a critical global challenge. In response to this urgency, Canadian government has set target of achieving zero 2050. The Government Prince Edward Island (PEI) committed becoming Canada’s first net-zero province 2040. Achieving goal requires an extensive knowledge arising from ecosystem dynamics PEI. Therefore, study aims quantify carbon fluxes these ecosystems, offering insights...
