Phytoplankton are sensitive to changes in river ecosystems. However, the spatial impacts of dams on phytoplankton communities have not been well documented, and the relationships between environmental drivers and phytoplankton communities in different types of river reaches need to be further...

The study was done on the White Volta River that flows from Burkina Faso through Ghana into the Atlantic Ocean to analyze the frequency of flooding so as to provide a basis for flood prediction to protect life and property. Analysis of floods is important in management of peak discharges in...

Place-based investments can have unintended general equilibrium effects and face challenges of time inconsistency. This paper simulates the granular impact of alternative spatial and temporal designs of such investments, using Quantitative Spatial Models where the strategy of the policymaker is...

We investigate how reforestation contributed to stabilization of riverine water levels in South Korea. For the purpose, we estimate an equation capturing dynamic relationships among rainfall, upstream-area tree stock, and downstream water levels in three river systems of Hongcheon, Mangyeong,...

The construction of large dams is one of the most costly and controversial forms of public infrastructure investment in developing countries, but little is known about their impact. This paper studies the productivity and distributional effects of large dams in India. To account for endogenous...

The Klamath River, draining some 12,000 square miles in southern Oregon and northern California, was once the third largest salmon stream on the West Coast, the life force of Native Americans. The river runs 263 miles from headwaters in Oregon and flows through the Cascades to the Pacific Ocean...

Floods are amongst the greatest natural hazards in the world. In the last decade, many flood events have been observed and recorded in Greece, which have had a direct effect on river ecosystem consistency. Flood hazard assessment is a critical parameter for flood hazard areas identification and...

During the lockdown imposed due to the first wave of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, there were several media reports of citizens flouting the lockdown rules in the United States. Upon closer investigation it was found that the rules were flouted mostly so that people could spend...
