Item type:Publication, Transdisciplinary catchment management in the developing tropics: bridging scientific enquiry with societal needs(Taylor & Francis, 2026-01-01)Rivers and streams in the developing tropics face mounting pressures from climate variability, land-use change, and weak governance, threatening water, food, and energy security. To address these issues, a Transdisciplinary Catchment Management (TCM) framework is proposed designed to bridge the gap between scientific research and societal needs in these complex and resource-limited regions. TCM is structured as an adaptive, eight-step process that prioritises fieldwork, local hydrological understanding, and the co-creation of knowledge with diverse stakeholders, leveraging affordable technologies to address data and capacity gaps, while emphasising inclusive decision-making and capacity building. By aligning scientific advances with local realities of the tropics, TCM offers a pragmatic and flexible pathway to sustainable catchment management. While established frameworks such as Integrated Water Resources Management and Integrated Watershed Management provide policy and governance guidance, our approach seeks to augment these efforts by offering a process-based, context-sensitive strategy grounded in actionable science.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Tracer Hydrology Practices, Challenges, and Opportunities Across Latin America and the Caribbean(Wiley, 2026-01-01)Tracer hydrology in Latin America and the Caribbean has made significant progress in recent decades, largely through the sustained support of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Current practices show water stable isotope applications and precipitation-groundwater monitoring at the core of most networks, providing valuable insights into recharge mechanisms, groundwater to surface water connectivity, pollution tracking, and climate variability. Despite these advances, critical challenges persist, including short and fragmented monitoring records, limited capture of extreme events, restricted data accessibility, and persistent barriers related to funding, analytical capacity, and weak policy integration. Improving science communication emerges as an urgent need to transform technical findings into actionable knowledge that informs decision-makers and empowers communities. Opportunities exist to build on IAEA's legacy by sustaining long-term networks, diversifying tracer applications, mobilizing citizen science in monitoring efforts, expanding modeling and laboratory capacity, and advocating for FAIR data sharing across end-users. Strengthened collaboration across the region, improved communication, and deeper policy engagement can elevate tracer hydrology into a pillar of regional water governance and hydro-climate resilience.
