Socio‐hydrology and hydrosocial analysis: toward dialogues across disciplines [PDF]

WIREs Water, 2016
In this study, we review the ways in which water has recently been conceptualized by both natural and social scientists as either hydro‐social or socio‐hydrological. We do this in order to discuss whether and how they can be compatible, in order to enable dialogue across disciplines that seek to address the ecological and social challenges related to ...

Socio‐hydrology: Use‐inspired water sustainability science for the Anthropocene [PDF]

Earth's Future, 2014
AbstractWater is at the core of the most difficult sustainability challenges facing humans in the modern era, involving feedbacks across multiple scales, sectors, and agents. We suggest that a transformative new discipline is necessary to address many and varied water‐related challenges in the Anthropocene. Specifically, we propose socio‐hydrology as a
