Hydrology, Society, and Environmental Change: Convergent Approaches to Human–Water Interactions
Hydrology, Society, and Environmental Change: Convergent Approaches to Human–Water Interactions
Session ID#: 76649
Session Description:
This session welcomes abstracts that consider how to observe, understand, model, and manage multiple interactions between society, environmental change, and hydrological systems. Convergent approaches are especially encouraged, which address a critical problem through deep integration across disciplines. These approaches can capture complex dynamics of human and water systems, across multiple time and spatial scales. Dynamic, two-way interactions can give rise to critical transitions and tipping points. This session is organized as part of the IAHS Panta Rhei hydrological decade 2013-2022.
Examples of relevant areas of socio-hydrology are:
+ Integrated models of hydrology and anthropogenic effects
+ New databases created to describe two-way interactions between hydrology and society
+ Regional and global modeling of hydrologic change, hazards, and people
+ Evaluations of management interventions and risk reduction
+ Assessment of interactions between communities and local water resources
+ Analysis of dynamics between people and hydrological extremes (floods, coastal storms, and droughts)
Index Terms:
