We are delighted to share the publication of a major milestone in our scientific community: “Panta Rhei: a decade of progress in research on change in hydrology and society” is now an Open Access paper published in the Hydrological Sciences Journal.

This paper marks the culmination of the Panta Rhei Scientific Decade (2013–2022), a transformative initiative that brought together hydrologists across the globe to explore the dynamic interplay between water and society. 

"Inspired by the IAHS scientific decade “Panta Rhei – Everything Flows: Change in hydrology and society” a vibrant, diverse community of hydrologists, social scientists, and practitioners formed, driven by the aim to better understand changes in hydrology and society. More than 100 people from around the world worked together on this community paper that provides a review of the related progress. A key finding is the need to use integrated approaches to assess the co-evolution of human–water systems in order to avoid unintended consequences of human interventions over long periods of time." said Heidi Kreibich.

On behalf of IAHS, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Heidi Kreibich and to all who contributed to the Panta Rhei initiative over the years. This paper is not only a celebration of what has been achieved, but also a powerful call to action as we continue to evolve our science to meet the needs of society.
