Water plays a critical role in sustaining human and ecosystem health as well as food and energy security. Population growth, climate and land use change increasingly threaten water quality and quantity. Successful management of water resources requires an integrative understanding of coupled human and natural systems across different spatial and temporal scales, which can be used to generate and assess practical, scientifically sound, and socially acceptable solutions. This Water and Society session provides a forum for discussing the advances in water resources systems analysis, planning and management to inform public policy, water resource allocation, conflict resolution, water governance, and sustainable development in a changing world. We welcome contributions that employ computational, quantitative, qualitative, or hybrid approaches.
