A coupled thermal-3D hydrodynamic model using TELEMAC-3D and WAQTEL is implemented to evaluate the dynamics of thermal processes in the reservoir. A sensitivity analysis is carried out on various modeling parameters, such as turbulence models, temperature diffusion coefficients, and heat exchange at the free surface based on observations. In particular, three different approaches have been tested to study the impact of air–water exchanges at the free surface: a constant water temperature, constant meteorological forcing, and time-varying meteorological forcing. All the simulations correctly represent the constant heating at the free surface for the first meters. However, no simulation has been able to correctly reproduce the amplitude of temperature oscillations in the surface layers: only the simulations with time-varying meteorological forcing show temperature oscillations, but their amplitude is greatly overestimated. Eventually, the analysis shows that the most crucial parameters for a correct representation of the observed temperature behavior are the heat exchange coefficient and the wind. The different approaches tested all have limitations, but they can reproduce reservoir temperature trends at different depths with a maximum standard deviation ranging from 3 to 8 °C.","PeriodicalId":49150,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Water and Climate Change","volume":"129 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139453326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The traditional approach may no longer be applicable since the earth's climate is not stationary. Thus, there is a need for a new way of designing water infrastructure that accounts for the effects of climate change by shifting the current static design paradigm to a more dynamic paradigm. Researchers have proposed several approaches accounting for climate change. In this paper, we group the approaches into five groups (adaptive management, inverse climate change impact, machine learning, flood frequency analysis, and soft computing approaches), outline each approach's strengths and weaknesses, and assess their applicability to the water infrastructure design. We find that the flood frequency analysis approach is most applicable to the water infrastructure design as it is the least disruptive in terms of standard hydrological analysis methods, is cost-effective, and adaptable to most basins. However, adaptive management approaches are best suited for uncertainty reductions since they provide opportunities to constantly adjust decisions based on improved climate change data. Combining these two approaches could provide an optimal way of accounting for non-stationarity.","PeriodicalId":49150,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Water and Climate Change","volume":"46 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138946442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article proposes an ML-based classification model for water quality prediction. The model was tested with 14 ML algorithms and considers 20 features that represent various substances present in water samples and their concentrations. The dataset used in the study comprises 7,996 samples, and the model development involves several stages, including data preprocessing, Yeo–Johnson transformation for data normalization, principal component analysis (PCA) for feature selection, and the application of the synthetic minority over-sampling technique (SMOTE) to address class imbalance. Performance metrics, such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, are provided for each algorithm with and without SMOTE. LightGBM, XGBoost, CatBoost, and Random Forest were identified as the best-performing algorithms. LightGBM achieved the highest accuracy of 96.25% without SMOTE, while XGBoost attained the highest precision of 0.933. The application of SMOTE enhanced the performance of CatBoost.

The multivariate empirical orthogonal functions and spectral clustering methods are used to classify and synthesize the extreme precipitation weather. The results show that: (1) The spatial distribution of the extreme precipitation threshold is uneven due to the regional topography. The spatial distribution of the average precipitation and frequency of extreme precipitation days is characterized by the north-south antiphase distribution. (2) According to the main influencing systems, the 215 regional extreme precipitation days in the MYRV in the past 40 years can be classified into three types: southwest vortex type, typhoon type, and cold trough shear line type. (3) The southwest vortex type of extreme precipitation occurs in the deep warm and humid airflow in front of the southwest vortex trough, but the typhoon type has better thermal dynamic conditions, and the cold and warm airflow convergence of the cold trough shear line type is more obvious. The rainfall area of three types of extreme precipitation is the result of the synergistic effect of the system.","PeriodicalId":49150,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Water and Climate Change","volume":"49 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138954590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four rainfall extreme indices, namely, the consecutive dry days (CDD), maximum annual rainfall (Pmaxan), very wet day (R95p), and maximum 5-day rainfall (Rx5days), were considered for trend analysis by using the non-parametric modified Mann–Kendall test and the distribution mapping bias-correction technique to adjust the simulated regional climate model climate of the simulated daily precipitation. As a result, it is found that during the period 1976–2017, there was a significant downward trend in the drought-related index (CDD) at the Bagoue, Baya, Agneby, and Lobo watersheds. The Baya and N'zo watersheds also experienced a significant downward trend under the RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios. The flood-related indices (Pmaxan, R95p, and Rx5days) show a clear downward trend in the recorded data for almost all the considered watersheds and generally a significant upward trend for both cases.

In this study, we developed a hybrid deep learning (DL) model, Fourier transform long short-term memory (FT-LSTM), to improve the prediction accuracy of monthly discharge time series in the Brahmani river basin at Jenapur station. We compare the performance of FT-LSTM with three popular DL models: LSTM, recurrent neutral network, and gated recurrent unit, considering different lag periods (1, 3, 6, and 12). The lag period, representing the interval between the observed data points and the predicted data points, is crucial for capturing the temporal relationships and identifying patterns within the hydrological data. The results of this study show that the FT-LSTM model consistently outperforms other models across all lag periods in terms of error metrics. Furthermore, the FT-LSTM model demonstrates higher Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency and R2 values, indicating a better fit between predicted and actual runoff values. This work contributes to the growing field of hybrid DL models for hydrological forecasting. The FT-LSTM model proves effective in improving the accuracy of monthly runoff forecasts and offers a promising solution for water resource management and river basin decision-making processes.","PeriodicalId":49150,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Water and Climate Change","volume":"98 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138998162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We evaluated trends in the cloudiness, solar radiation, wind, air and water temperatures, ice cover, thermocline depth, transparency, and composition of two Bohemian Forest lakes (Czech Republic) from 1998 to 2022. Lake water temperatures increased by 0.32–0.47 °C decade−1, and the ice cover periods decreased by 11.7–14.8 days decade−1. These changes were mostly associated with increasing air temperatures during most months and increasing solar radiation (due to decreasing cloudiness) especially in March and November (the months preceding ice-on/off). Decreasing snow cover in winter (by 3.8 cm decade−1) further accelerated the earlier ice melt. The number of days with water temperature ≥4 °C increased similarly in both lakes by 12–13 days decade−1. However, the number of days with water temperature ≥20 °C increased and the depth of the summer thermocline decreased more in the lake with tree dieback in its catchment. Tree dieback accelerated the leaching of organic carbon and phosphorus, increasing water brownification, algal production, and decreasing water transparency. Solar radiation was absorbed in shallower water layers. Changes in catchment forest thus contributed to the variability in the response of lake water temperatures to climate change.","PeriodicalId":49150,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Water and Climate Change","volume":"14 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138998086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
