SocioHydrology: Advancing the Science of Water and Society
SocioHydrology: Advancing the Science of Water and Society
Session ID#: 123922
Session Description:
Coined in 2012, the term “sociohydrology” refers to a new science that is aimed at understanding the dynamics and co-evolution of coupled human-water systems. Over the last decade, many researchers have advanced ways to integrate economics, norms and values, and case study methods are integrated into sociohydrological analyses. However, much is left to tackle. This session invites researchers to share their approaches for effectively incorporating social sciences for tackling wicked water problems. Talks focused on scientific rigor and decision-making are especially welcome.
