“…Elevation and topographic variables derived from digital elevation models (DEMs) feature prominently in models of hydrological services. DEMs are used to determine flow paths and hydraulic connectivity to assess freshwater supply, flow regulation (e.g., Bagstad et al 2011), geomorphology (Blanchard, Rogan, and Woodcock 2010), and water purification (e.g., Conte et al 2011). Slope surfaces derived from DEMs are frequently used to model erosion control and sediment regulation.…”

“…Under natural conditions, floods counteract these processes by depositing sediment particles and nutrients from streams into floodplains, which function as a sink for both (Naiman and Décamps 1997 ; Asselman et al 2003 ; Walling et al 2003 ; Taylor et al 2008 ; Bouwman et al 2013 ). Thereby, floodplains provide key ecosystem services of sediment and nutrient retention and water filtration (Hopkins et al 2018 ; Conte et al 2011 ). However, river straightening and embankment have dramatically reduced floodplain area, so that floodplains count worldwide as one of the most threatened ecosystems (Naiman and Décamps 1997 ; Tockner and Stanford 2002 ; Thoms 2003 ; Steiger et al 2005 ).…”

“…application of fertilizers, pesticides, removal of vegetation, ploughing, soil surface sealing) are transmitted, and their effects can potentially accumulate in the water bodies (Chapra 1997). On the other hand, vegetation cover can modify these processes, adding to or alleviating the pressures (Vought et al 1994;Olde Venterink et al 2006;Conte et al 2011). The actual ratio of different land use-land cover (LULC) types nowadays needs active decision-making, especially to encounter adverse effects of anthropogenic pressures.…”
