Socio-hydrological features of armed conflicts in the Lake Chad Basin
Nature Sustainability, 2022 The role of water resources in conflict has been the centre of a polarized scientific debate on the connections between environmental and social sustainability. We investigate whether and how water availability, also in relation to water demand, increases the likelihood of violent conflict, and we analyse how hydrological factors influence social ...

Preparedness against floods in nearly pristine socio-hydrological systems
Hydrological Sciences Journal, 2022 The relations between preparedness and psycho-social attributes of people and communities exposed to river floods in a nearly pristine socio-hydrological system were investigated, applying a hydrological-hydraulic analysis of flood risk in combination with results from a survey, social cartography, semi-structured non-participant observation, and semi ...

Socio-hydrological impacts of rate design on water affordability during drought
Environmental Research Letters, 2023 Unaffordable water threatens water access in the United States, particularly for low-income households. In water-scarce cities, water shortages during drought necessitate either expensive infrastructure development or costly emergency measures to meet ...

Socio‐Hydrology in Perspective—Circa 2018 [PDF]
Water 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 ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As urbanization accelerates, cities face increasingly significant ecological challenges essential for sustainability. One of the primary manifestations of these challenges is the imbalance between food, water, and energy resources, often resulting in the irrational use of land.

Socio-Hydrologic Modeling of the Dynamics of Cooperation in the Transboundary Lancang-Mekong River [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2020 Abstract. The transboundary Lancang-Mekong River Basin has experienced dynamics of cooperation over the past several decades, which is a common emergent response in transboundary human-water systems. Downstream countries rely on Mekong River for fisheries, agriculture, etc., while upstream countries have been constructing dams to generate hydropower ...
