Zusammenfassung |
Sociohydrology is the study of coupled human–water systems, building on the
premise that water and human systems co-evolve: the state of the water system
feeds back onto the human system, and vice versa, a situation denoted as
"two-way coupling". A recent special issue in HESS/ESD, "Predictions under
change: water, earth, and biota in the Anthropocene", includes a number of
sociohydrologic publications that allow for a survey of the current state of
understanding of sociohydrology and the dynamics and feedbacks that couple
water and human systems together, of the research methodologies being
employed to date, and of the normative and ethical issues raised by the study
of sociohydrologic systems. Although sociohydrology is concerned with coupled
human–water systems, the feedback may be filtered by a connection through
natural or social systems, for example, the health of a fishery or through
the global food trade, and therefore it may not always be possible to treat
the human–water system in isolation. As part of a larger complex system,
sociohydrology can draw on tools developed in the social–ecological and
complex systems literature to further our sociohydrologic knowledge, and this
is identified as a ripe area of future research. |
