Short summary
Understanding what shapes lake water quality is vital in a changing world. We studied dissolved organic matter, a key part of water quality in lakes and the carbon cycle, to analyse its environmental drivers and make predictions, by using machine learning. Tested in lakes in Ireland and Spain, it showed predictive potential, even when relying only on global climate and soil data. This helps explain how land and climate conditions influence freshwater resources. It can be reproduced worldwide.

Short summary
Pond sediments emit substantial CO2 during dry phases, often overlooked despite climate change increasing dry periods. We measured emissions in 30 ponds across Mediterranean and Temperate regions, finding higher emissions in summer and in ponds with longer hydroperiods, especially in Mediterranean climates. Emissions peaked at moderate sediment water content and warm temperatures, highlighting the need to include dry-phase emissions in carbon flux assessments.

Short summary
Climate change affect lakes by including not just the lakes themselves but also the land areas that drain into them. These surrounding areas influence how much water and nutrients flow into lakes which in turn impact water quality. Here, water fluxes from land, derived from a global hydrological model where water fluxes are modelled at the grid scale, were used to estimate streamflow inputs to lakes from their catchments. Using data from 71 Swedish lakes, we showed that our method works well.

Short summary
This paper describes the experiments and data sets necessary to run historic and future impact projections, and the underlying assumptions of future climate change as defined by the 3rd round of the ISIMIP Project (Inter-sectoral Impactmodel Intercomparison Project, isimip.org). ISIMIP provides a framework for cross-sectorally consistent climate impact simulations to contribute to a comprehensive and consistent picture of the world under different climate-change scenarios.

Short summary
Hydrological modelling is a powerful tool to support decision-making. We assessed spatio-temporal patterns and trends of streamflow for 2001–2022 with a hydrological model, integrating stakeholder expert knowledge on management operations. The results provide insight into how climate change and anthropogenic pressures affect water resources availability in regions vulnerable to water scarcity, thus raising the need for sustainable management practices and integrated hydrological modelling.
