TOWARD A SPACE–TIME FRAMEWORK FOR INTEGRATED WATER AND SOCIETY STUDIES

Hydrologists have long since developed models of the water cycle dynamics where human-induced water resources management activities are prescribed as external forcing, often under the assumption of stationarity (Milly et al. 2008). The main objective of the 2011 Water and Society Summer School was to invite early-career people with various academic backgrounds-meteorology, climatology, hydrology, human geography, history, sociology, and political science-to address integrated studies through space-time scale analysis.
