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 ...

Intérêt des modèles socio-hydrologiques dans la gouvernance participative de l’eau au Burkina Faso [PDF]

, 2020
Pouvoir arrêter la dégradation de la qualité des ressources en eau, voire inverser la tendance, est une préoccupation mondiale majeure. Compte tenu de la diversité des besoins et des priorités en matière de ressources en eau, la question de la pollution ...

Learning from the Ancient Maya: Exploring the Impact of Drought on Population Dynamics [PDF]

, 2019
Understanding the relationship between drought and population dynamics is increasingly important, particularly in areas where high population growth corresponds with increasing drought risk due to climate change.

Characterisation of Drought and Wet Events in the Paraíba do Sul River Basin—Brazil

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Trend analysis identified statistically significant reductions in precipitation (at the 5% significance level) at specific pluviometric stations in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, while other areas, mainly in Minas Gerais, experienced significant increases in annual and seasonal rainfall, particularly during summer and spring. These significant trends at

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

Frontiers 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.

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 ...

Finding Plankton: A Marine Science Scavenger Hunt for Local Communities

Limnology and Oceanography Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract At a time of increasing political polarization and rapidly accelerating climate change, it is important to build public knowledge and empathy toward nature to foster behavioral changes; however, addressing a knowledge deficit can be insufficient to affect these changes.

Adaptation tipping points of awetland under a drying climate [PDF]

, 2018
Wetlands experience considerable alteration to their hydrology, which typically contributes to a decline in their overall ecological integrity. Wetland management strategies aim to repair wetland hydrology and attenuate wetland loss that is associated ...

Ecohydraulics exemplifies the emerging “paradigm of the interdisciplines” [PDF]

, 2016
The basic premise underlying ecohydraulics is deceptively simple: create a new discipline focused on the effects of water movement in aquatic ecosystems by melding principles of aquatic ecology (including aspects of fluvial geomorphology) and engineering
