Sociohydrology
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 the SDGs for water requires an integrated approach to managing and allocating water resources, by involving all actors and stakeholders, and considering how water resources link different sectors of society. To date, water management practice is domina…
Changing climate both increases and decreases European river floods
Learning from the Ancient Maya
Understanding the relationship between drought and population dynamics is increasingly important, particularly \nin areas where high population growth corresponds with increasing drought risk due to climate change. We \nexamine the relationship between drought events and population dynamics using a stylized hydrology-demography \nmodel that has been calibrated to simulate plausible feedbacks for the population decline of the Ancient \nMaya of Cen…
Modeling the interaction between flooding events and economic growth
Recently socio-hydrology models have been proposed to analyze the interplay of community risk-coping \nculture, flooding damage and economic growth. These models descriptively explain the feedbacks between \nsocio-economic development and natural disasters such as floods. Complementary to these descriptive \nmodels, we develop a dynamic optimization model, where the inter-temporal decision of an economic agent \ninteracts with the hydrological sy…
Socio-hydrology
Over history, humankind has tended to settle near streams because of the role of rivers as transportation corridors and the fertility of riparian areas. However, human settlements in floodplains have been threatened by the risk of flooding. Possible responses have been to resettle away and/or modify the river system by building flood control structures. This has led to a complex web of interactions and feedback mechanisms between hydrological and…
Understanding flood regime changes in Europe
There is growing concern that flooding is becoming more frequent and severe in Europe. A better understanding of flood regime changes and their drivers is therefore needed. The paper reviews the current knowledge on flood regime changes in European rivers that has been obtained through two approaches. The first approach is the detection of change based on observed flood events. Current methods are reviewed together with their challenges and oppor…
