The International Commission on Human-Water Feedbacks (ICHWF) is a scientific commission of IAHS that advances understanding of two-way feedbacks between human actions and water quantity and quality over decadal to centennial timescales. The Commission focuses on how water environments and societies coevolve, using long-term monitoring in case-study areas, new data sources such as text mining, social-science approaches, behavioural experiments, and models that explicitly represent feedbacks between water and social processes. Its activities include community-based studies, teaching courses, scientific sessions, and workshops on human-water feedbacks. The Commission welcomes interdisciplinary participation across hydrology, social sciences, economics, engineering, and related fields.
Keywords: human-water systems; change; coevolution; transdisciplinary hydrology; human intervention.
