Supporting evidence — 4 representative gaps

• Risk to pollution of aquifers associated with productive activities and environmental management of water resources: bibliometric analysis and trends (2024) · International Journal of Power Electronics and Drive Systems (IJPEDS) · cited 1× · doi

  Different models have been used that integrate both hydrological and hydro-geological aspects as well as social aspects including fundamental rights, other models such as the diffuse model, which has had better results in its application, the gaps in the research, are especially focused on conducting holistic research when assessing the risk of these dynamical systems.

• Seasonality and pollution effects on water quality based on phytoplankton and physicochemical variables in the Duhok Dam Lake (2026) · Frontiers in Water · doi

  There is a gap in understanding the combined influence of hydroclimatic variability and pollution inputs on reservoir ecosystems. Prior studies have focused on individual factors influencing water quality, but have not considered the interactive effects of multiple factors.

  integrate process-based hydrological models that explicitly represent dam operation rules, land-use scenarios, and sectoral water withdrawals to enable a more detailed attribution; adopt this framework in other climatic and hydrological settings to determine whether the dominance of interaction effects is a universal feature or context-dependent; address the limitations identified above

• Role of dams in reducing global flood exposure under climate change (2021) · Nature Communications · cited 329× · doi

  While environmental problems caused by dams warrant further investigations, our results indicate that consideration of dams significantly affect the estimation of future population exposure to flood, emphasizing the need to integrate them in model-based impact analysis of climate change.
