IAHS CandHy Working Group
The Citizens AND Hydrology (CANDHY) Working Group promotes citizen involvement in hydrological science and applications through multidisciplinary, trans-sectoral, and inclusive research. The Working Group stimulates approaches that enhance inclusivity, equality, and knowledge co-production in hydrology, including but not limited to citizen science. CANDHY explores the potential of citizen involvement and crowdsourced data for advancing hydrological research in water-resource and risk management, hydroclimatic risk mitigation, and disaster preparedness. Its activities facilitate discussion and exchange of knowledge, experience, and ideas at the interface between hydrology and society.
Keywords: citizen science; knowledge co-production; inclusive science; hydrology and society; crowdsourcing; sustainable development.
