This study examines large daily river flow fluctuations in the dammed Mekong River, developing integrated 3D hydrodynamic and response time models alongside a hydrological model with an embedded reservoir module. This approach allows estimation of travel times between hydrological stations and contributions of subbasins and upstream regions. Findings show a power correlation between upstream discharge and travel time, and significant fluctuations occurred even before dam construction.

Our study examines water stress in Chile from mid-20th century to the end of the 21st century, using novel datasets on water availability, land use, and water use. We compute a water stress index for all basins in Chile and show that rising water use significantly contributes to water stress. We also show that a drier future is expected in central Chile and that the water stress index can be used as a tool for designing adaptation strategies.
megadroughtsare a natural feature of the Australian hydroclimate. Human-caused climate change is also driving a tendency towards longer droughts in eastern and southwestern Australia.
