Nutrient chemistry and seasonal variation in the groundwater quality of a Riverine Island on the west coast of Kerala, India - P. J. Sajil Kumar; Aswin Kokkat; P. K. Kurian; E. J. James (Sustainable Water Resources Management, 2020)
This study attempted to evaluate the groundwater quality, with a special emphasis on nutrients, of a riverine coastal island near Kodungallur, Kerala. Water quality parameters were analyzed in the collected samples over pre- and post-monsoon seasons. A considerable variation in groundwater chemistry was observed in the two periods. During pre-monsoon season, many wells were contaminated with TDS, Cl, Fe, Ca and Mg in certain locations. Whereas, post-monsoon water was relatively fresh, indicating the dilution process as well as aquifer recharge by the monsoon rain and consequent regression of saline water. A higher concentration of Fe was observed in the pre-monsoon season (41%) than in the post-monsoon season (24%). Nitrate and phosphates were analyzed to assess the nutrients and the observed concentration was below their corresponding permissible limits. Results show that overexploitation of the aquifer as well as the decreased flow of the River Periyar during the pre-monsoon period increased the threat from seawater intrusion and groundwater contamination. An interesting groundwater recharge mechanism locally known as backwashing—the diversion of rainwater from rooftops to dug wells—is being practiced in the study area and has been found to be effective in raising water levels and improving water quality.

Regional scale analysis of trends in rainfall using nonparametric methods and wavelet transforms over a semi‐arid region in India - Lalit Pal; Chandra Shekhar P. Ojha; Surendra K. Chandniha; Amit Kumar (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Space‐time variability of rainfall at local scale is affected by several regional factors such as aerosol concentration, greenhouse gases, land cover changes, etc., along with large scale atmospheric circulations. Predictive ability of regional circulation models can be significantly improved and efficient management of water resources can be assured by identifying dominant variables controlling spatiotemporal variations in rainfall among aforementioned factors. The present study aims to investigate dominant climate system(s) controlling trends in rainfall over Chhattisgarh state (a semi‐arid region) in India over the period of 115 years (1901–2015). Discrete wavelet transform in conjunction with Mann–Kendall test is applied to the rainfall data series at different time scales (monthly, seasonal, annual, pre‐monsoon, monsoon, post‐monsoon and winter) in order to identify the long term trends and dominant periodic components influencing the trend. In the results, negative trends are found to exist in all rainfall time series at majority of districts (except for annual and monsoon rainfall at Bijapur and Sukma district). In addition, analysis of trend in actual evapotranspiration and soil moisture in the region does not exhibits the effect of anthropogenic variables (such as land cover change, irrigation projects, etc.) on the rainfall as significant negative trend are also observed in soil moisture for majority of districts. Overall, 2‐year and 4‐year periodic components have been detected to be dominating the trends in most of the rainfall time series (annual, monsoon, post‐monsoon and winter). On comparing the identified dominating components with the existing climate systems (Atlantic multidecadal oscillations, Indian ocean dipole, Madden‐Julian oscillations, Inter‐Tropical Convergence Zone, etc.), El Niño‐Southern Oscillations has been recognized as predominant climate circulation influencing the rainfall trends over the study region. The study outcomes are expected to improve the regional precipitation forecasts and should be useful in various hydro‐meteorological analyses and decision making at regional scale.

Global wheat production with 1.5 and 2.0°C above pre‐industrial warming - Bing Liu; Pierre Martre; Frank Ewert; John R. Porter; Andy J. Challinor; Christoph Müller; Alex C. Ruane; Katharina Waha; Peter J. Thorburn; Pramod K. Aggarwal; Mukhtar Ahmed; Juraj Balkovič; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2019)
Efforts to limit global warming to below 2°C in relation to the pre‐industrial level are under way, in accordance with the 2015 Paris Agreement. However, most impact research on agriculture to date has focused on impacts of warming >2°C on mean crop yields, and many previous studies did not focus sufficiently on extreme events and yield interannual variability. Here, with the latest climate scenarios from the Half a degree Additional warming, Prognosis and Projected Impacts (HAPPI) project, we evaluated the impacts of the 2015 Paris Agreement range of global warming (1.5 and 2.0°C warming above the pre‐industrial period) on global wheat production and local yield variability. A multi‐crop and multi‐climate model ensemble over a global network of sites developed by the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) for Wheat was used to represent major rainfed and irrigated wheat cropping systems. Results show that projected global wheat production will change by −2.3% to 7.0% under the 1.5°C scenario and −2.4% to 10.5% under the 2.0°C scenario, compared to a baseline of 1980–2010, when considering changes in local temperature, rainfall, and global atmospheric CO 2 concentration, but no changes in management or wheat cultivars. The projected impact on wheat production varies spatially; a larger increase is projected for temperate high rainfall regions than for moderate hot low rainfall and irrigated regions. Grain yields in warmer regions are more likely to be reduced than in cooler regions. Despite mostly positive impacts on global average grain yields, the frequency of extremely low yields (bottom 5 percentile of baseline distribution) and yield inter‐annual variability will increase under both warming scenarios for some of the hot growing locations, including locations from the second largest global wheat producer—India, which supplies more than 14% of global wheat. The projected global impact of warming

Indus River Basin: Future climate and water budget - Ashok P. Dimri; Dhirendra Kumar; Simran Chopra; Anubhav Choudhary (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Indus River Basin (IRB) in the western Himalayas is very important for the sustainability of livelihood, food and water security of its inhabitants. In the present work, changing climate and its impact on water budget of IRB is discussed. For this, simulation from a regional climate model (REMO) is studied for present (1970–2005) and future (till 2099) climate under various representative concentration pathways (RCPs). It is distinctly seen that, there is a likely increased (decreased) precipitation over upper (lower) IRB under both the RCPs. Moreover, a heterogeneous warming pattern is projected over the region with season‐specific response of warming towards increasing greenhouse gases (GHGs). Higher (lower) evapotranspiration over the lower (central) IRB raise serious concerns about water issues. The changes in climatic parameters will have huge impact on the associated water budget. Linkages of water budget with the corresponding precipitation, temperature, evapotranspiration and runoff provide possible mechanisms for depleting (enhancing) water storage over the lower (upper) IRB during DJF (JJAS). This will have impact on agriculture, crop and water security of the region and thus underlines the need for adaptation policies at governance level.

Climate change impact and adaptation for wheat protein - Senthold Asseng; Pierre Martre; Andrea Maiorano; Reimund P. Rötter; Garry J. O’Leary; Glenn J. Fitzgerald; Christine Girousse; Rosella Motzo; Francesco Giunta; M. Ali Babar; Matthew P. Reynolds; Ahmed M. S. Kheir; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2019)
Wheat grain protein concentration is an important determinant of wheat quality for human nutrition that is often overlooked in efforts to improve crop production. We tested and applied a 32‐multi‐model ensemble to simulate global wheat yield and quality in a changing climate. Potential benefits of elevated atmospheric CO 2 concentration by 2050 on global wheat grain and protein yield are likely to be negated by impacts from rising temperature and changes in rainfall, but with considerable disparities between regions. Grain and protein yields are expected to be lower and more variable in most low‐rainfall regions, with nitrogen availability limiting growth stimulus from elevated CO 2 . Introducing genotypes adapted to warmer temperatures (and also considering changes in CO 2 and rainfall) could boost global wheat yield by 7% and protein yield by 2%, but grain protein concentration would be reduced by −1.1 percentage points, representing a relative change of −8.6%. Climate change adaptations that benefit grain yield are not always positive for grain quality, putting additional pressure on global wheat production.

A recent innovation in assessment of climate change impact on agricultural production has been to use crop multimodel ensembles ( MME s). These studies usually find large variability between individual models but that the ensemble mean (e‐mean) and median (e‐median) often seem to predict quite well. However, few studies have specifically been concerned with the predictive quality of those ensemble predictors. We ask what is the predictive quality of e‐mean and e‐median, and how does that depend on the ensemble characteristics. Our empirical results are based on five MME studies applied to wheat, using different data sets but the same 25 crop models. We show that the ensemble predictors have quite high skill and are better than most and sometimes all individual models for most groups of environments and most response variables. Mean squared error of e‐mean decreases monotonically with the size of the ensemble if models are added at random, but has a minimum at usually 2–6 models if best‐fit models are added first. Our theoretical results describe the ensemble using four parameters: average bias, model effect variance, environment effect variance, and interaction variance. We show analytically that mean squared error of prediction ( MSEP ) of e‐mean will always be smaller than MSEP averaged over models and will be less than MSEP of the best model if squared bias is less than the interaction variance. If models are added to the ensemble at random, MSEP of e‐mean will decrease as the inverse of ensemble size, with a minimum equal to squared bias plus interaction variance. This minimum value is not necessarily small, and so it is important to evaluate the predictive quality of e‐mean for each target population of environments. These results provide new information on the advantages of ensemble predictors, but also show their limitations.
