Abstract Water plays a vital role in sustaining the natural functioning of entire ecosystem that supports life on Earth. It key roles well‐being society numerous ways. However, climate variability and land use cover (LULC) change have caused spatiotemporal water supply variation. Disentangling effects from LULC is crucial for sustainable resource management. The main purpose this study is, therefore, to disentangle relative contribution overall average annual Residual trends analysis...

Sediment precipitation in riverbeds influences the effectiveness of structural and non-structural measures for flash flood mitigation increases potential flooding. This study aimed to disclose implemented risk Kassala town, eastern Sudan. We employed remote sensing (RS) GIS techniques determine change Gash River riverbed, morphology, leveling both western sides river. Flood model simulation a 3D path profile were generated using digital elevation (DEM) with data resolution 12.5 m from ALOS...

Rapid urban expansion and the alteration of global land use/land cover (LULC) patterns have contributed substantially to modification climate, due variations in Land Surface Temperature (LST). In this study, LULC change dynamics Kano metropolis, Nigeria, were analysed over last three decades, i.e., 1990–2020, using multispectral satellite data understand impact urbanization on LST study area. The Maximum Likelihood classification method Mono-window algorithm utilised classifying uses...

The internal structure of urban construction land expansion (UCLE) is closely related to sustainability, and the UCLE in China’s port city has a unique pattern.
