Evolving water science in the Anthropocene [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014 This paper reviews the changing relation between human beings and water since the Industrial Revolution, a period that has been called the Anthropocene because of the unprecedented scale at which humans have altered the planet during this time.

Frontiers 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]
Hydrology 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 ...

On capturing human agency and methodological interdisciplinarity in socio-hydrology research
Hydrological Sciences Journal, 2022 Socio-hydrology has expanded and been effective in exposing the hydrological community to ideas and approaches from other scientific disciplines, and social sciences in particular. Yet it still has much to explore regarding how to capture human agency and how to combine different methods and disciplinary views from both the hydrological and the social ...

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

Identification and Evaluation of Potential Floodplain Areas Using the Floodplain Evaluation Matrix - Romanian Case Study. [PDF]
Aerul şi Apa: Componente ale Mediului, 2021 A large number of floodplains got lost due to settlements, infrastructure and agriculture. The reconnection of floodplains plays a significant role considering water retention potential and other aspects such as biodiversity conservation, improvement of ...

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

Power Law Growth and Delayed Feedbacks in Socio‐Hydrological Systems [PDF]
Earth's Future, 2019 Water infrastructure dynamics result from coupled social and physical hydrological processes embedded in “socio‐hydrological systems” (SHSs). Freshwater fuels socioeconomic activity, which in turn exerts pressure on water resources through increased water demand and water quality degradation.
