Socio-hydrological modelling: a review asking "why, what and how?" [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology 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 ...

Socio-Hydrological Dynamics in Bangladesh

open access: yes, 2020
Bangladesh is a large delta, where most people live in the overpopulated floodplains. Flooding is a normal phenomenon, which causes much suffering. How to reduce this suffering through better managing floods is a big societal challenge. To date, societal initiatives to address this challenge mainly consist of the construction of embankments along the ...

Debates—Perspectives on socio‐hydrology: Changing water systems and the “tyranny of small problems”—Socio‐hydrology [PDF]

open access: yesWater Resources Research, 2015
AbstractWe are well and truly in the Anthropocene. Humans can no longer be considered as mere external drivers or boundary conditions in the hydrologic systems we study. The interactions and feedbacks between human actions and water cycle dynamics on the planet, combined with the evolution of human norms/values in relation to water, are throwing up a ...

Socio‐Hydrology in Perspective—Circa 2018 [PDF]

open access: yesWater Resources Research, 2019
AbstractThe special section on socio‐hydrology is one of most successful in Water Resources Research, containing more than 30 articles, with many more submitted. As we would hope for a special section, this is just the start, and we continue to receive a flow of papers that either explicitly describe themselves as socio‐hydrology or are addressing the ...

Shortage and surplus of water in the socio-hydrological context [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2014
Abstract. Balancing the temporal variability of hydrological conditions in the long- and short-term is often essential for steady socio-economic conditions. However, this equilibrium is very fragile in many cases. Hydrological changes or socio-economic changes may destroy it in a short time.
