Hydrosolidarity principles are important on a national and international scale. They seek to apply equitable distribution of water by minimizing negative impacts on humans and the environment through unified, cooperative management of the resource.
The objectives of the theme are:
- To establish a firm theoretical foundation for the hydrosolidarity concept that can be used across disciplinary boundaries
- To analyse the notion of place attachment and sense of belonging through collective identity in socio-ecological systems in different water basins as depending on scale in time and space
- To examine how a more formalized hydrosolidarity concept can be applied in selected case studies.
- To link the nexus problems (food-energy-water-quality) in relation to place attachment and hydrosolidarity concept in selected water basins.
