Retrieval of Optically Active and Inactive Water Quality Parameters Using Remote Sensing and Machine Learning: Evidence from Water Hyacinth-Infested Lake Tana, Ethiopia

Monitoring water quality is critical for protecting freshwater ecosystems and supporting sustainable water resource management. Lake Tana, Ethiopia’s largest freshwater lake, faces increasing agricultural and urban pressures, while conventional monitoring remains costly and spatially constrained. This study developed a...

Assessment of suitable land for surface irrigation development in an Ardy watershed, Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia

Despite its abundant water and land resources, Ethiopia has not fully harnessed its potential for irrigation development. This study assessed suitable land for surface irrigation in the Ardy watershed, Ethiopia, with the goal of utilizing the country’s abundant yet underexploited water resources to increase agricultura...

Sustainable Land Management Practices Enhance Soil Microbial Biomass Carbon in Global Croplands

Machine Learning-Informed Hydrological Response Time Modeling in Tropical Watersheds

Flood occurrence in tropical regions is intensifying due to climate variability and land-use change, increasing the need for reliable flood response time estimation. Accurate prediction of flood lag time (TL)—the interval between the centroid of excess rainfall and peak runoff—is critical for flood early warning and wa...
