Panta Rhei: Hydrology, Society, and Environmental Change

Session ID#: 119591

Session Description:
This session welcomes abstracts that consider how to observe, understand, model, and manage multiple interactions between society, environmental change, and hydrological systems. Relevant 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, which can pose major challenges for sustainable water management. 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 data or data acquisition approaches to describe interactions between hydrology and society
+ Local, regional and global modeling of hydrologic and socio-economic change
+ Evaluations of management interventions and risk reduction actions
+ Assessment of interactions between communities and local water resources
+ Analysis of dynamics between people and hydrological extremes
Index Terms:
