Project Summary: Amidst a pressing water crisis amplified by climate change, socio-economic development, and environmental challenges, this project explores the intricate complexities of human-water interactions. Within this context, human influences are profoundly interrelated with water resources. Envisioned as part of the Living Skies Post-doctoral Fellows program, this collaborative project unites scholars specializing in social, environmental, and computer sciences. The primary goal is to construct an all-encompassing conceptual and computational model capable of capturing the dynamic interplay between human behaviour and water across diverse scales and contexts to achieve transformative insights. By doing this, the research aims to pave the way for exploring various water-related scenarios and formulating effective risk management strategies, fostering resilience and equity in front of water-related threats.
