Planning and management of shared waters: hydropolitics and hydropsychology – two sides of the same coin
Politics and human behaviour play key roles in the planning and management of shared water resources. The interactions between politics and water resources (hydropolitics) have been extensively studied, and the need to study the interactions between human behaviour and water-related activities (hydropsychology) is increasingly recognized. Although both hydropolitics and hydropsychology are useful, neither by itself is adequate across all scales of water resources and human society. This paper reasons that hydropolitics is a top-down view and hydropsychology is bottom-up, and argues for a framework to reconcile the two for a two-way and more balanced approach.
