Abstract The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations Agenda 2030 represent an ambitious blueprint to reduce inequalities globally and achieve a sustainable future for all mankind. Meeting SDGs water requires integrated approach managing allocating resources, by involving actors stakeholders, considering how resources link different sectors society. To date, management practice is dominated technocratic, scenario‐based approaches that may work well in short term but can...
The evolutionary phases of the social-ecological system in China’s Loess Plateau over a millennium are identified.
Abstract. Groundwater recharge is one of the important factors determining groundwater development potential an area. Even though plays a key role in controlling system dynamics, much uncertainty remains regarding relationships between and its governing at large scale. Therefore, this study aims to identify most influential recharge, develop empirical model estimate diffuse rainfall global Recharge estimates reported literature from various parts world (715 sites) were compiled used building...
Abstract. The transboundary Lancang–Mekong River basin has experienced dynamics of cooperation over the past several decades, which is a common emergent response in coupled human–water systems. Downstream countries rely on Mekong for fisheries, agriculture, navigation and ecological services, while upstream have been constructing dams to generate hydropower. dam construction operation changed seasonality streamflow downstream countries, affecting their economic benefits. More recently,...
The volume of water in lakes is commonly estimated by combining data level variations with accurate bathymetry and shore topographic maps. However, topography are often difficult to acquire, due high costs for labour equipment. This article presents an innovative method calculating lake volumes using long-term time series remote-sensing data. Multi-spectral satellite images were used map a lake's surface area. boundaries each year combined field-observed levels generate description the...
Abstract. Riparian countries have their respective values and priorities for water management, of shared fundamental impacts propensity to be involved in cooperative management adhere treaties/agreements. However, there is limited understanding the changing interests each riparian country. Taking Lancang–Mekong River basin as a case study, this paper aims analyse evolution conflict cooperation dynamics from perspectives multiple countries. Newspaper articles were used key data source they...
Socio-hydrology has expanded and been effective in exposing the hydrological community to ideas approaches from other scientific disciplines, social sciences particular. Yet it still much explore regarding how capture human agency combine different methods disciplinary views both develop knowledge. A useful starting ground is noting that complexity of human–water relations due interactions not only across spatial temporal scales but also organizational levels systems. This calls for...
Energy transition is one of the demands for resource management towards sustainability. It increasingly recognized that this would not justly happen without effective stakeholder engagement (SE). Assessing impact SE and its relationship with configuration imperative understanding dynamics may promote or hinder stakeholders' contribution to transition. This paper systemically quantitatively investigates whether how affects impacts globally scattered 1119 cases in resources including clean...
Overuse of water resources has led to serious ecological degradation in most river basins. However, there is little processed-based understanding the dynamic feedback between management decisions from different sectors basins and their resultant socio-economic outcomes. This study developed a socio-hydrological model track evolution used for uses simulate response resource allocation environmental regulations resulting economic It was applied Maipo River basin, Chile, 1990 2019. The results...
Stakeholder engagement (SE) has become a core practice for natural resource management. However, little is known about how interactive relationships between SE components have been considered during dynamic process, compromising our capacity configuration. This study proposes comprehensive 5 P–10 R framework encompassing five (P1-problems, P2-purpose, P3-participants, P4-processes, and P5-products) ten any two components) delineating interactions components. The applied to examine all 1119 S...
