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