- A simplified model to investigate the hydrological regimes of temporary wetlands: the case study of Doñana marshland (Spain) (2026) · Hydrology and Earth System Sciences · doi
There is a lack of studies on the hydrological modelling of temporary wetlands, particularly regarding their water needs under changing environmental conditions. There is a need for simple and effective tools for estimating the water requirements of wetlands. There is a need for integrated water resources planning and management that takes into account environmental needs.

Future research should continue to monitor and analyze changes in the Manchar Lake wetland complex. The study suggests the need for further research on the application of machine learning algorithms for classifying wetland areas. Future research should explore the integration of additional remote sensing indices and datasets for analyzing changes in the wetland.

This unexpected finding warrants further investigation and may reflect local land use policies, economic factors, or data classification nuances. While this study provides valuable insights into the recent dynamics of the Manchar Lake wetland, several areas warrant further investigation: Long-term hydrological modeling to understand the impacts of climate change and water management prac- tices on wetland hydrology.
