Pearson correlation coefficient (r) between plantation characterization (DBH diameter at breast height, H total height, SG stem growth, and LAI leaf area index) and throughfall, stemflow and interception for eight Eucalyptus genotypes. ns denoted no significance differences, * denoted significance at 0.05, and ** at 0.01

Key message
Hydrological indicators such as rainfall interception of Eucalyptus genotypes are essential to guarantee the water sustainability of forest plantations under climate change scenarios.
Abstract
Rainfall interception is a critical component of water balance in Eucalyptus plantations and may provide better water sustainability by reducing...

Environmental concerns are relatively recent. Ancient armies would have little or no concept that they caused environmental damage. Such armies were ‘eco-warriors’ nevertheless, but in the sense of against the ecosystem, not for it. An army’s success may result from marching on its stomach, but what those stomachs produced could also conduct enviro...
Scarce water resources across the globe have prompted the development of data‐driven water budgets to account for and distribute limited water more effectively across various land uses and purposes. Data‐driven approaches for estimating individual water budget components have been extensively developed and subsequently reviewed (e.g., evapotranspir...
Rapid urbanization has increased the demand for more urban water resources, and water scarcity has limited the sustainable development of cities and regions. In this paper, all prefecture-level cities in Shandong Province in the lower Yellow River region are studied, an evaluation index system is established based on the water poverty index, and th...
The Indian Himalayan Region (IHR), known as the water tower of Asia, confronts emerging water scarcity issues despite its perceived abundance. Home to over 75 million people, their lives hinge on groundwater from springs and streams rather than major rivers. Climate change, urbanization, deforestation, and altered land use patterns contribute to th...
Microbial water quality is an integral to water security and is directly linked to human health, food safety, and ecosystem services. However, specifically pathogen data and even faecal indicator data (e.g., E . coli ), are sparse and scattered, and their availability in different water bodies (e.g., groundwater) and in different socio-economic con...
