Eyes in the sky: Drone monitoring of the largest gharial and mugger populations in the East Rapti River, Chitwan National Park.

PloS one
Drone-based aerial monitoring can play a pivotal role in scaling up efforts to monitor species at risk. In this study, we assessed the population size, occupancy, and spatial interactions of gharials and muggers in the Eastern Rapti River and its tri...

Machine Learning-Driven Dynamic Measurement of Environmental Indicators in Multiple Scenes and Multiple Disturbances.

Environmental science & technology
Digital city water management systems require extensive data sensing for various environmental indicators, yet measurement accuracy often falls short under diverse extreme conditions. This study proposes a chemical oxygen demand (COD) measurement met...

GeoAI-based soil erosion risk assessment in the Brahmaputra River Basin: a synergistic approach using RUSLE and advanced machine learning.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
Soil erosion is a critical environmental issue in the Brahmaputra River Basin, threatening agricultural productivity, water resources, and ecological balance. This study employs the revised universal soil loss equation (RUSLE) alongside remote sensin...

Responses of Microbial Community to Heterogeneous Dissolved Organic Nitrogen Constituents in the Hyporheic Zones of Treated Sewage-Dominated Rivers.

Microbial ecology
The hyporheic zone (HZ) of treated sewage-dominated rivers serves as a critical biogeochemical hotspot for dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) transformation, yet the mechanisms linking DON chemodiversity to microbial community dynamics remain poorly re...

Developing sediment concentration prediction in the Euphrates River catchment, Türkiye, with a honey badger and coati optimization-based hybrid algorithm.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
Estimation of sediment concentration (SC) is of vital importance in terms of siltation and economic life of dams, lakes and aqueducts, reservoir operations, design of water resource structures, monitoring and control of water pollution, and flood man...

An integrated IKOA-CNN-BiGRU-Attention framework with SHAP explainability for high-precision debris flow hazard prediction in the Nujiang river basin, China.

PloS one
Debris flows represent a persistent challenge for disaster prediction in mountainous regions due to their highly nonlinear and multivariate triggering mechanisms. This study proposes an explainable deep learning framework, the Improved Kepler Optimiz...

Data-driven prediction of daily Cryptosporidium river concentrations for water resource management: Use of catchment-averaged vs spatially distributed features in a Bagging-XGBoost model.

The Science of the total environment
Cryptosporidium is a waterborne pathogen which poses a major challenge to water utilities because of its resistance to chlorination and its infectivity at very low concentrations. The ability to make predictions of Cryptosporidium concentrations in r...

Past and Present in the Ecological Connectivity of Protected Areas Through Land Cover and Graph-Based Metrics.

Environmental management
Habitat reduction is significantly threatening biodiversity, making ecological connectivity which facilitates species movement across habitat patches, essential for human impacts mitigation, promoting genetic exchange, and enabling colonization of ne...

Comparative analysis of SWAT and SWAT coupled with XGBoost model using Optuna hyperparameter optimization for nutrient simulation: A case study in the Upper Nan River basin, Thailand.

Journal of environmental management
Agricultural runoff leading to nitrate (NO-N) and orthophosphate (PO-P) contamination poses significant environmental and public health risks. This study integrates the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) with eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), o...

Occurrence, Sources, and Prioritization of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) in Drinking Water from Yangtze River Delta, China: Focusing on Emerging PFASs.

Molecules (Basel, Switzerland)
As regulations ban legacy PFASs, many emerging PFASs are being developed, leading to their release into the aquatic environment and drinking water. However, research studies on these emerging PFASs in drinking water are limited, and current standards...
