H53K:
Hydrology, Society, and Environmental Change: Coupled Human-Water Dynamics across Scales III

Submit an Abstract to this Session Please know the abstract submission deadline has passed. There are no exceptions to this deadline and no new abstracts can be submitted.
You can still search the program to see your colleague�s abstract submissions as well as the sessions submitted for the 2016 Fall Meeting. The final program will be released in early October.


Session ID#: 17117

Session Description:
This session welcomes abstracts that consider how to observe, understand, model, and manage the effects of human and environmental changes on hydrological systems. The interactions of coupled human-water processes across multiple time and spatial scales can give rise to the emergence of complex dynamics, including critical transitions, and will pose major challenges for sustainable water management. This session is organised as part of the IAHS Panta Rhei hydrological decade 2013-2022 and is a part of the series of AGU-JpGU joint sessions on socio-hydrology. Examples of relevant areas include:

  • Hydrological models that include anthropogenic effects
  • Measurements of human impacts on hydrological processes
  • Interactions of communities with local water resources
  • Creation of databases describing hydrology in human-impacted systems
  • Data analysis and comparisons of hydrological systems around the globe and especially in developing and emerging countries
  • Human interactions with hydrological extremes (floods and droughts) and water scarcity
