ABSTRACT

A variety of interdisciplinary fields have provided distinct and complementary perspectives on human-water systems over the past few decades. In that context, an important distinctive feature of sociohydrology is its historical and methodological link to ecohydrology. This linkage implies a compatibility between the two fields that can be leveraged to address important modeling challenges in both fields. Sociohydrology has thus far focused on temporal dynamics and can benefit from recent advances in ecohydrology to represent spatial dynamics in coupled human-water systems. Conversely, as it increasingly focuses on human-altered catchments, ecohydrology can benefit from sociohydrology in terms of developing models of human behavior that are compatible with (eco)hydrological models, while being consistent with prevailing social science theories. We review recent work in ecohydrology and sociohydrology that substantiates these two arguments, and discuss the modeling of water-borne diseases as an example of a promising avenue of research that connects the two fields.

摘要

在过去的几十年里，各种跨学科领域为人类-水系统提供了独特而互补的观点。在这种情况下，社会水文学的一个重要显着特征是它与生态水文学的历史和方法学联系。这种联系意味着两个领域之间的兼容性可以用来解决两个领域中的重要建模挑战。迄今为止，社会水文学一直专注于时间动态，并且可以从生态水文学的最新进展中受益，以表示耦合的人水系统中的空间动态。相反，随着它越来越关注人类改变的集水区，生态水文学可以从社会水文学中受益，因为它可以开发与（生态）水文模型兼容的人类行为模型，同时与流行的社会科学理论保持一致。
