  • In the American west, operational forecasts for spring–summer streamflow rely heavily on snow-water storage. Simulations with a suite of land-modelling systems suggest that snow-water storage generally contributes most to forecasting skill, but that the contribution of soil moisture is often significant, too.

  • Thermoelectric power in Europe and the United States is vulnerable to climate change. Here research relates lower summer river flows and higher river water temperatures as a result of climate change to thermoelectric plant capacity. Summer average capacity can decrease by 6.3–19% in Europe and 4.4–16% in the United States, depending on the cooling system type and climate scenario for 2031–2060.

  • Changes in continental water stores, largely human-induced, affect sea level. Better hydrological models and observations could clarify the land's role in sea-level variations.

  • By simultaneously integrating the measurements from the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite and those from other Earth-observing satellites into hydrological modelling systems, we could transform our understanding of the global terrestrial water cycle. This opportunity comes with big challenges for the scientific community.

  • Data on changes in water storage in the Congo basin show how GRACE, a pair of satellites designed to record variations in Earth's gravitational field, is benefiting the study of the planet's water cycle.

  • About 65% of landfalling atmospheric rivers that hit India between 1985 and 2020 were linked to floods, and 7 out of India’s 10 most severe floods in this period were associated with atmospheric rivers, according to an analysis of reanalysis data and observations of rain and flooding.
