“…Furthermore, land use patterns play a very important role in the evaluation of environmental processes for the sustainable management of natural resources and ecosystems conservation [1]. It has been stated that monitoring vegetation dynamics and land cover changes is fundamental for modeling climatic and hydrological scenarios [2,3].…”

In this research, vegetation indices (VIs) were analyzed as indicators of the spatio-temporal variation of vegetation in a semi-arid region. For a better understanding of this dynamic, interactions between vegetation and climate should be studied more widely. To this end, the following methodology was proposed: (1) acquire the NDVI, EVI, SAVI, MSAVI, and NDMI by classification of vegetation and land cover categories in a monthly period from 2014 to 2018; (2) perform a geostatistical analysis of rainfall and temperature; and (3) assess the application of ordinary and uncertainty least squares linear regression models to experimental data from the response of vegetation indices to climatic variables through the BiDASys (bivariate data analysis system) program. The proposed methodology was tested in a semi-arid region of Zacatecas, Mexico. It was found that besides the high values in the indices that indicate good health, the climatic variables that have an impact on the study area should be considered given the close relationship with the vegetation. A better correlation of the NDMI and EVI with rainfall and temperature was found, and similarly, the relationship between VIs and climatic factors showed a general time lag effect. This methodology can be considered in management and conservation plans of natural ecosystems, in the context of climate change and sustainable development policies.

“…Variations in groundwater depth and chemistry under the influence of water delivery have been the focus of numerous scholars ( (Chen et al, 2004;Chen et al,2005;Deng, 2009;Hao et al, 2009;Huang et al, 2013;Ji et al,,1998;Li et al, 2010;Xu, et al, 2007;Ye et al, 2007). However, variations in depth and chemistry of groundwater at intervals of water delivery are seldom investigated.…”

“…The lower reaches of the Tarim River are located in a flat alluvial plain where the hydrogeological conditions are relatively simple (Huang et al, 2013). The multi-layered aquifer is dominated by fluvial and lacustrine facies of fine sand and silty fine sand, and locally by eolian sand (Cheng, 1999;Zhou et al, 2008).…”

Based on monitoring data collected from 2006 to 2009 at the lower reaches of the Tarim River, tempo-spatial variations in groundwater depth and chemistry during an approximately 3-year interval of intermittent water delivery were studied. Results indicate that as the groundwater depth increased at the upper sector of the river's lower reaches from March 2007 to September 2009, so too did the main chemical composition of groundwater. Groundwater depth at the intermediate sector also increased, but major ions in groundwater declined. The groundwater depth at the lower sector started to decrease in August 2008, and the concentrations of main ions in the groundwater generally rose and fell along with the variations in groundwater depth. The groundwater depth and chemistry in the monitoring wells located at a distance from the aqueduct expressed complex changes at different sections. For instance, at the section near the Daxihaizi Reservoir Section B, groundwater depth increased gradually, but chemical composition changed little. In contrast, the groundwater depth of monitoring wells far from the Daxihaizi Reservoir (Section I) decreased and salt content in the groundwater increased. In sectors at a moderate distance from the reservoir, groundwater depth decreased and concentrations of main ions significantly increased.
