“Panta Rhei—Everything Flows”: Change in hydrology and society—The IAHS Scientific Decade 2013–2022

Alberto Montanari, +36 more
TL;DR: The Panta Rhei Everything Flows project as mentioned in this paper is dedicated to research activities on change in hydrology and society, which aims to reach an improved interpretation of the processes governing the water cycle by focusing on their changing dynamics in connection with rapidly changing human systems.

River-basin planning and management: the social life of a concept

TL;DR: The concept of a river basin as a management or planning unit has been conjured up and mobilized in evolving contexts with varying intentions as mentioned in this paper, and it has been associated with various strands of thinking and sometimes co-opted or mobilized by particular social groups or organizations to strengthen the legitimacy of their agendas.

How Close Do We Live to Water? A Global Analysis of Population Distance to Freshwater Bodies

TL;DR: A high-resolution global analysis of how close present-day populations live to surface freshwater bodies and climatic characteristics in different climate zones and administrative regions shows that over 50% of the world's population lives closer than 3 km to a surface freshwater body, and only 10%" of the population lives further than 10 km away.

Paleoflood hydrology: Origin, progress, prospects

TL;DR: Paleoflood hydrology has also generated its share of controversy, in part because of the differing viewpoints and attitudes of the two scientific traditions from which it emerged: Quaternary geology/geomorphology versus applied hydrologic/hydraulic engineering as mentioned in this paper.

A prototype framework for models of socio-hydrology: identification of key feedback loops and parameterisation approach

TL;DR: A generic framework for models of socio-hydrology applicable to agricultural catchments, made up of six key components that combine to form the coupled system dynamics, to allow hydrologists to improve social–ecological systems modelling through better representation of human feedbacks on hydrological processes.
