Please note that this an Open Access title available via Science Direct
Coevolution 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. Edited by experts in the field who attended the 2023 symposium at the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) in Potsdam, 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 environmental sciences through foundational concepts and methodologies, significant progress in understanding coupled human-water systems with topics such as floods, droughts, and agriculture, and diverse global 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. Authored by experts from various backgrounds in hydrology and water sustainability, 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.
