This session will explore the interconnectedness of the water cycle and the diverse factors that influence water security from the source to its eventual use. We invite contributions that examine water security challenges and solutions across scales, from communities to regional and global contexts. We seek abstracts exploring the implications of changing surface water quality and quantity, groundwater sustainability, land use patterns, snow conditions, and aging water infrastructure on water security. We also welcome studies on natural hazards and human threats. Studies using hydrological modeling, systems thinking, decision-support tools, remote sensing, artificial intelligence, or machine learning to address water security issues are encouraged to submit abstracts. Interdisciplinary perspectives from hydrology, geology, environmental and agricultural sciences, engineering, public policy, and social sciences are especially valued. Abstracts that integrate case studies, model calibrations, and field observations to demonstrate applications of these methods in hydrological settings are encouraged.
