In this study, Remote sensing data are employed to find the most flooded areas identified using Partial Least Square Regression and 18 new retention ponds are proposed to build a Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) in open space and barren lands. In SWMM, the Urban Drainage System (UDS) model is simulated using 24-h rainfall hyetograph from hourly PERSIANN-CSS rainfall data (yearly rainfall events) and 7-h rainfall hyetograph from half-hourly IMERG Global Precipitation Data (extreme rainfall events) from 2000 to 2023. After comparing both UDS and SuDS in SWMM, it is found that the flood volume has decreased significantly from 240 CMS to 180 CMS (for yearly rainfall) and 500 CMS to 350 CMS (7-h rainfall hyetograph). The study also compares the structural resilience of the drainage system under the conditions of no link failure and single link failure scenarios. In no failure situation, 20% more resilience has been achieved for yearly rainfall and 10% more for extreme rainfall events. In single link failure conditions, SuDS is helping to reach 20–47% resilience for yearly rainfall events and 7–30% resilience for extreme rainfall events. Thus, this study helps to achieve SDGs 11 and 13 to build a resilient and climate-adaptive urban drainage in Gurgaon.

This work characterized water sources, flowpaths, and streamflow characteristics in the semi-arid, mountainous Kromme catchment in Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Precipitation, shallow and deep groundwater levels, and streamflow data were analysed to identify patterns that indicate the occurrence and/or dominance of certain processes, responses, and flowpaths. Results of the study demonstrated how the catchment responds to rainfall events across seasons and rainfall intensities. Steep and rocky areas that make up much of the catchment contributed to significant flood peaks after high-intensity storms. Quick and slow responses in flow after rainfall events indicated the dominance of both surface and subsurface flowpaths respectively. Furthermore, surface and subsurface flows were significant in recharging the floodplain alluvial aquifer as well as maintaining streamflow during dry periods. Average annual runoff coefficients were low (0.09), which implied large evapotranspiration (ET) withdrawals from dominant flowpaths and/or storage in inactive groundwater. The Kromme catchment has a sizeable floodplain with large alluvial aquifers, which make significant contributions to catchment storage and outflows. Overall, the catchment streamflow was sustained by baseflow (for ∼50% of the time). Recession patterns suggested that the channel receives flow from different storages with the alluvial and bedrock aquifers as main contributors. Flow contributions had different rates with maximum recession periods up to 22 days, indicative of interflow dominance and floodplain drainage. Throughout the monitoring period, the river system was gaining flow at the different monitored sites during both low and high flow conditions. The channel was also gaining from the mountain bedrock through tributary flows and from the alluvial aquifer. A conceptual model of flowpaths and processes at the catchment scale is presented to improve the understanding of catchment scale hydrological processes in a semi-arid meso-scale mountainous environment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54616,"journal":{"name":"Physics and Chemistry of the Earth","volume":"137 ","pages":"Article 103809"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142656892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite considerable attention, the specific impact of these phenomena on Chinese shorelines, particularly along the South China beaches, remains inadequately understood. To address this gap, this study conducted high-frequency surveys on the Qing'an Bay beach in South China and employ a profile fitting model to refined waterline extraction from monthly satellite images. The goal was to investigate the relationship between high-frequency shoreline changes and interannual climate variability (such as ENSO). The findings indicate that the coastal evolution is intricately linked to a combination of strong wave events, summer storms, winter cold waves, and the amplifying effects of ENSO. During La Niña phase, the sea level in the western Pacific experiences a rise, with associated storms proving particularly destructive to the beach environment, leading to violent oscillations in the coastline. Specifically, in the strong La Niña phases, significant wave heights markedly surpass neutral conditions, precipitating intensified sediment movement. However, it is imperative to recognize that shoreline changes alone do not fully characterize coastal erosion. Assessment must also encompass alterations in beach volume. By calculating beach volume per unit width that accounts for the influence of ENSO variability on the beach, the seasonal characteristics of the beach showed sediment losses in summer and autumn, and gains in winter and spring, which was more obvious during strong La Niña. Additionally, conceptual model analysis reveals that during the La Niña phase, the bay is fully exposed, whereas during the El Niño phase, significant headland sheltering is observed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54616,"journal":{"name":"Physics and Chemistry of the Earth","volume":"137 ","pages":"Article 103801"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142705063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the potential of CaCO₃ precipitating bacteria isolated from methane hydrate-bearing marine sediments. Five calcifying marine bacteria were isolated using Christensen's urea agar from marine sediments collected from Gawadar coastal, Pakistan. Bacterial strains induced CaCO<sub>3</sub> precipitation producing urease enzymes.

Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction were applied for the identification and differentiation of calcite and vaterite precipitates. The growth of isolates and precipitation potential were observed optimum at 5% NaCl and pH 9.5–11. <em>Bacillus altitudinis</em> (ST4SD3) and <em>Bacillus</em> sp.
