The focus in the present study is on the quantification soil erodibility properties (representing an erosion threshold (such as the critical shear stress) and a resistance property (e.g., the soil erosion coefficient)).

Induced earthquakes are manifestations of highly heterogeneous distributions of effective stress changes imparted by anthropogenic activities such as hydraulic fracturing and wastewater injection. It is critical to disentangle the mechanisms behind these earthquakes to better assess seismic risk. Here, a clustering methodology is applied to a catalog of 21,536 induced earthquakes detected during a 36-d hydraulic stimulation program in Western Canada.

Concrete stress is a key factor influencing the operational safety of concrete dams, and understanding the true distribution and variation of stress is a major research focus in the field of dam engineering. In the heel region of the dam, internal voids in the concrete may allow external water infiltration under high hydraulic head, leading to changes in the concrete's elastic modulus and Biot coefficient. These changes, in turn, affect the effective stress experienced by the concrete.

River scour and siltation, inherently prolonged and multifaceted phenomena, profoundly impact the hydraulic conductivity and navigational safety of waterways, thereby rendering the precise forecasting of their fluctuations a paramount and unresolved challenge. This study embarks on a novel investigative trajectory by examining energy dissipation in rivers, specifically through the scrutiny of empirical hydrological records. Employing the principles of energy balance theory, this study elucidates the intricate connection between energy losses and sedimentation volumes in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and at its confluence with the significant tributary, the Jialing River.

Desert riparian forest vegetation maintains the fragile balance of ecosystems in extreme arid areas. Raising the phreatic water table through efficient ecological water supply is the key to the desert riparian forests in extreme arid areas. The main objective of this study is to explore an innovative framework in which the response of phreatic water table depth (PWTD) to ecological water supply flow (EWSF) can be effectively reflected.
