Coevolution and Prediction of Coupled Human-Water Systems

A Sociohydrologic Synthesis of Change in Hydrology and Society
Please note that this an Open Access title available via Science DirectCoevolution and Prediction of Coupled Human-Water Systems provides an in-depth examination of the intricate interactions between hydrology and society. Inspired by the "Panta Rhei" scientific decade (2013-2022) of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS), the book focuses on the interactions between hydrology and society.Authored by over 160 experts from six continents and various backgrounds in hydrology and water sustainability, the book is structured into five parts: an introduction to the complexity of human-water systems and management strategies for global water challenges, a bridge between hydrology and the environmental and social sciences through foundational concepts and methodologies, significant progress in understanding coupled human-water systems with topics such as floods, droughts, agriculture, transboundary and global human-water systems, and diverse worldwide case studies illustrating real-world dynamics and solutions for water security. The final section synthesizes key findings, making this book an essential resource for students, researchers, and practitioners focused on sustainable water management and the dynamics of human-water systems.This comprehensive volume brings the "Panta Rhei" research agenda to life by exploring the theoretical and methodological approaches to hydrological processes shaped by the relationship between the environment and humans.
