Socio-hydrological modelling: a review asking "why, what and how?" [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2016 Interactions between humans and the environment are occurring on a scale that has never previously been seen; the scale of human interaction with the water cycle, along with the coupling present between social and hydrological systems, means that ...

An alternative approach for socio-hydrology: case study research [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2018 Currently the most popular approach in socio hydrology is to develop coupled human–water models. This article proposes an alternative approach, qualitative case study research, involving a systematic review of (1) the human activities affecting the ...

A prototype framework for models of socio-hydrology: identification of key feedback loops and parameterisation approach [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014 It is increasingly acknowledged that, in order to sustainably manage global freshwater resources, it is critical that we better understand the nature of human–hydrology interactions at the broader catchment system scale. Yet to date, a generic conceptual

Reconstructing the duty of water: a study of emergent norms in socio-hydrology [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013 This paper assesses the changing norms of water use known as the duty of water. It is a case study in historical socio-hydrology, or more precisely the history of socio-hydrologic ideas, a line of research that is useful for interpreting and anticipating
