Panta Rhei: a decade of progress in research on change in hydrology and society
No full textTo better understand the increasing human impact on the water cycle and the feedbacks betweenhydrology and society, the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) organized thescientific decade “Panta Rhei – Everything Flows: Change in hydrology and society” (2013–2022). A keyfinding is the need to use integrated approaches to assess the co-evolution of human–water systems inorder to avoid unintended consequences of human interventions over long periods of time. Additionally,substantial progress has been made in leveraging new data sources on human behaviour, e.g. throughtext mining of social media posts. Much has been learned about detecting hydrological changes andattributing them to their drivers, e.g. quantifying climate effects on floods. To achieve further progress,we recommend broadening the understanding, the discipline and training activities, while at the sametime pursuing synthesis by focusing on key themes, developing innovative approaches and findingsustainable solutions to the world’s water problems
