Place for sociohydrology in sustainable and climate-resilient agriculture: Review and ways forward

open access: yesCambridge Prisms: Water, 2023
Given the increasing demand for high-quality food and protein, global food security remains a challenge, particularly in the face of global change. However, since agriculture, food and water security are inextricably linked, they need to be examined via ...

A question driven socio-hydrological modeling process [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2015
Abstract. Human and hydrological systems are coupled: human activity impacts the hydrological cycle and hydrological conditions can, but do not always, trigger changes in human systems. Traditional modeling approaches with no feedback between hydrological and human systems typically cannot offer insight into how different patterns of natural ...

Global hydrology 2015: State, trends, and directions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Global hydrology has come a long way since the first introduction of the primitive land surface model of Manabe (1969) and the declaration of the “Emergence of Global Hydrology” by Eagleson (1986).

Non-Structural Flood Management in European Rural Mountain Areas—Are Scientists Supporting Implementation?

open access: yesHydrology, 2021
Mountain areas are highly exposed to flood risks. The latter are increasing in the context of climate change, urbanization, and land use changes. Non-structural approaches such as nature-based solutions can provide opportunities to reduce the risks of ...

Sustainability of small dams for livestock and farming, a case study from Chitongo dam, rural Zambia

open access: yesFrontiers in Water
Small earth dams are common water harvesting techniques in drylands, but assessing their sustainability and long-term socio-environmental impacts is hindered by limited data availability that characterize many community-scale rural contexts.

Impact of Expansion Pattern of Built-Up Land in Floodplains on Flood Vulnerability: A Case Study in the North China Plain Area

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Built-up land in floodplains (BLF) is a driver and a disaster-bearing body of flood risk from a socio-hydrological perspective. The relationship between BLF growth and flood vulnerability is the key to understanding and managing flood risk.

Conceptualizing the effectiveness of flood risk information with a socio-hydrological model: A case study in Lower Kelani River Basin, Sri Lanka

open access: yesFrontiers in Water, 2023
In rapidly changing human-flood systems, dynamic models can assist with system thinking, policy-making, and response. Previous research has shown that flood memory is important for better responses during disasters.

Acting, predicting and intervening in a socio-hydrological world [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013
Abstract. This paper asks a simple question: if humans and their actions co-evolve with hydrological systems (Sivapalan and Blöschl, 2012), what is the role of those humans who are simultaneously hydrological scientists, bound up within this system? To put it more directly, can we, as socio-hydrologists study the socio-hydrological world in isolation ...
