About the Book

Please note that this an Open Access title available via Science Direct Coevolution and Prediction of Coupled Human-Water Systems offers an insightful exploration into the complex relationships between hydrology and society, drawing inspiration from the "Panta Rhei" scientific decade (2013-2022) organized by the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS). Written by more than 170 experts spanning six continents, the book emphasizes the interconnectedness of water and human activities. It is organized into five key sections, beginning with an overview of human-water systems and strategies for managing global water challenges. The text then builds a bridge between hydrology and both environmental and social sciences, introducing foundational concepts and methodologies to understand these dynamic systems. The book advances the field by detailing significant insights on issues such as floods, droughts, agriculture, and global or transboundary water systems. It features a wide array of international case studies, illustrating practical examples and innovative solutions for achieving water security. In its concluding section, the book synthesizes major findings, making it an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners working toward sustainable water management.

Table of Contents:

The widening world of Panta Rhei case studies 12. Grand synthesis 13. Future vision and action recommendations

About the Author :
Professor TIian Fuqiang is a Professor in the Department of Hydraulic Engineering at Tsinghua University. He is also the Vice President of the IAHS and has dedicated his career to researching agricultural water resources and flood-drought management, achieving excellence in hydrological mechanisms, sustainable irrigation in arid areas, flood forecasting and warning, and transboundary river water resources. He serves as the Associate Editor for international journals in the field of hydrology, such as Hydrology and Earth System Sciences and Journal of Hydrology. Leading several major research programs funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Ministry of Science and Technology's National Key Research and Development Program, Professor Tian has received numerous awards for his contributions. These accolades include the Da Yu Water Conservancy Science and Technology Award, the Ministry of Education Natural Science First Prize, and the First Prize for Scientific and Technological Progress. Actively involved in the committee’s work since 2002, Professor Tian currently chairs the committee’s Bioenergy Working Group and serves as Vice Chair of the Climate Change Working Group. He has been honored with the Outstanding Contribution Award for Water Conservation Technology Innovation. His recent election as Vice Chair is expected to further promote innovation in irrigation and drainage technology and management in China, enhancing its international influence. Dr. Jing Wei is a postdoc student in the department of Hydraulic Engineering at Tsinghua University with several prestigious publications in the field of hydrology. Dr. Melissa Haeffner is an Associate Professor in the department of Environmental Sciences and Management at Portland State University. Her ongoing research and teaching commitments investigate water insecurity and justice within municipal water systems and the links between multi-scale policies, infrastructural and environmental conditions. Dr Heidi Kreibich is head of the working group "Flood risk and climate adaptation" at the German Research Centre for Geosciences GFZ. Heidi is particularly interested in understanding, modelling and mitigating flood and drought risk and in human-water interactions. She is President of the Natural Hazards Division of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) and Panta Rhei Chair of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS).
