“…It could consequently disturb the balance of temporal and spatial distribution of water resources and cause large scale floods or long-term droughts. At the regional scale, climate change causes changes in discharge of rivers and streams that potentially reduce or increase the needed water availability for human activities [9,10].…”

Abstract:Recent studies by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicate that Vietnam is one of the countries most affected by climate change. The variability of climate in this region, characterized by large fluctuations in precipitation and temperature, has caused significant changes in surface water resources. This study aims to project the impact of climate change on the seasonal availability of surface water of the Huong River in Central Vietnam in the twenty-first century through hydrologic simulations driven by climate model projections. To calibrate and validate the hydrologic model, the model was forced by the rain gage-based gridded Asian Precipitation-Highly Resolved Observational Data Integration Towards Evaluation of water resources (APHRODITE) V1003R1 Monsoon Asia precipitation data along with observed temperature, humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation data from local weather stations. The simulated discharge was compared to observations for the period from 1951 until present. Three Global Climate Models (GCMs) ECHAM5-OM, HadCM3 and GFDL-CM2.1 integrated into Long Ashton Research Station-Weather Generator (LARS-WG) stochastic weather generator were run for three IPCC-Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (IPCC-SRES) emissions scenarios A1B, A2, and B1 to simulate future climate conditions. The hydrologic model simulated the Huong River discharge for each IPCC-SRES scenario. Simulation results under the three GCMs generally indicate an increase in summer and fall river discharge during the twenty-first century in A2 and B1 scenarios. For A1B scenario, HadCM3 and GFDL-CM2.1 models project a decrease in river discharge from present to the 2051-2080 period and then increase until the 2071-2100 OPEN ACCESSWater 2015, 7 3580 period while ECHAM5-OM model produces opposite projection that discharge will increase until the 2051-2080 period and then decrease for the rest of the century. Water management impacts, such as irrigation or dam regulation, were not considered in this study. However, the results provide local policy makers with quantitative data to consider possible adjustment of future dam capacities for development of flood control policies.

“…Climate directly affects the human environment since it intervenes in biological, social, and economic aspects [1][2][3]. Hence the importance of its study to consider representative information that can aid in the development of various activities such as urban planning, agriculture, livestock, transportation, health, recreation, disaster prevention, weather forecasting, and evaluation of global warming and climate change, among others [4,5]. Climate helps determine the long-term average values of the elements of atmospheric weather, while these define the short-term atmospheric behavior (of one or several days).…”

Measurement of meteorological variables is essential to assess and analyze extreme events, such as droughts and floods, and even more so when the purpose is to generate early warnings of such natural phenomena. Nowadays, several mechanisms can estimate climatic variables like precipitation and temperature. However, no device measures precipitation values in real-time and at a low-cost, much less are these installed in remote areas of difficult access. Therefore, an Automated Hydrological Information System was developed based on low-cost meteorological stations with two communication protocols, Wi-Fi and GSM. The devices are equipped with a self-sustainable power supply, including a solar panel and energy storage that can last for up to three cloudy days. The precipitation, temperature, and relative humidity values are sent to a database, where they are then processed and displayed on a web page, accessible for download. Users can easily access the data from an official application that redirects them to the website without the need for a computer or a mobile browser. Warning systems are feasible due to the use of IoT services such as ThingSpeak and Ubidots. Ultimately, they allow the analysis of information and immediately send alerts if it exceeds the tolerance ranges.

“…The impacts on hydrological processes are mainly caused by temperature increases and precipitation variations, generating increased stream flows and extreme weather events (Arreguín-Cortés & López-Pérez, 2013;Azari, Moradi, Saghafian, & Faramarzi, 2016;Wu, Qian, Li, & Song, 2014b). Flash floods are regarded as a result of climatic changes and poor drainage infrastructure and have been frequently reported in China in recent years, causing casualties and enormous economic losses.…”

a school of environmental science and engineering, chang'an university, Xi 'an, china; b Key laboratory of subsurface Hydrology and ecological effects in arid region of the ministry of education, chang'an university, Xi'an, china ABSTRACT Water resources are the basis for the sustainable development of China. However, the country is currently facing alarming waterrelated problems associated with its fast economic development and climate change. This editorial introduces briefly the status of its water resources research at the national level and the researcher level. It also introduces the research reported in this thematic issue to highlight its role in addressing flood and water-scarcity issues, improving water management in inland plains and supporting the sustainable development of the country. Finally, some further recommendations for improving water resources research in China are offered.
