Roobavannan, Mahendran (author), van Emmerik, T.H.M. (author), Elshafei, Yasmina (author), Kandasamy, Jaya (author), Sanderson, Matthew R. (author), Vigneswaran, Saravanamuthu (author), Pande, S. (author), Sivapalan, M (author)Sustainable water resources management relies on understanding how societies and water systems coevolve. Many place-based sociohydrology (SH) modeling studies use proxies, such as environmental degradation, to capture key elements of the social component of system dynamics. Parameters of assumed relationships between environmental degradation...journal article 2018

Roobavannan, M (author), Kandasamy, J (author), Pande, S. (author), Vigneswaran, S (author), Sivapalan, M (author)This study is focused on the water-agriculture-environment nexus as it played out in the Murrumbidgee River Basin, eastern Australia, and how coevolution of society and water management actually transpired. Over 100 years of agricultural development the Murrumbidgee Basin experienced a “pendulum swing” in terms of water allocation, initially...journal article 2017

Pande, S. (author), Sivapalan, M. (author)Socio‐hydrology was introduced 4 years ago into the scientific lexicon, and elicited several reactions about the meaning and originality of the concept. However, there has also been much activity triggered by the original paper, including further commentaries that clarified the definitions, and several papers that acted on the definitions, and...journal article 2017

(author)Competition for water between humans and ecosystems is set to become a flash point in the coming decades in many parts of the world. An entirely new and comprehensive quantitative framework is needed to establish a holistic understanding of that competition, thereby enabling the development of effective mediation strategies.

Pande, S. (author), Ertsen, M. (author), Sivapalan, M. (author)While the proposed model is a rather simple model of a coupled human–water system, it is shown to be capable of replicating patterns of technological, population, production and consumption per capita changes. The model demonstrates that technological change may indeed ameliorate the effects of increasing water scarcity, but typically it does so...journal article 2014

Berghuijs, W.R. (author), Sivapalan, M. (author), Woods, R.A. (author), Savenije, H.H.G. (author)Recent hydrologic synthesis efforts have presented evidence that the seasonal water balance is at the core of overall catchment responses, and understanding it will assist in predicting signatures of streamflow variability at other time scales, including interannual variability, the flow duration curve, low flows, and floods. In this study, we...journal article 2014

(author)Throughout its historical development, hydrology as an earth science, but especially as a problem-centred engineering discipline has largely relied (quite successfully) on the assumption of stationarity. This includes assuming time invariance of boundary conditions such as climate, system configurations such as land use, topography and...journal article 2014

Pande, S. (author), Ertsen, M. (author), Sivapalan, M. (author)The ancient civilization in the Indus Valley civilization dispersed under extreme dry conditions; there are indications that the same holds for many other ancient societies. Even contemporary societies, such as the one in Murrumbidgee river basin in Australia, have started to witness a decline in overall population under increasing water...journal article 2013

Zanardo, S. (author), Harman, C.J. (author), Troch, P.A. (author), Rao, P.S.C. (author), Sivapalan, M. (author)We evaluate the extent to which within-year rainfall variability controls interannual variability of catchment water balance. To this end, we analytically derive the probability density function of the annual Budyko evaporation index, B (i.e., the ratio of annual actual evapotranspiration to annual precipitation), by accounting for the...journal article 2012

(author)Temporal patterns of solute transport and transformation through the vadose zone are driven by the stochastic variability of water fluxes. This is determined by the hydrologic filtering of precipitation variability into infiltration, storage, drainage, and evapotranspiration. In this work we develop a framework for examining the role of the...journal article 2011

Sawicz, K. (author), Wagener, T. (author), Sivapalan, M. (author), Troch, P.A. (author), Carrillo, G. (author)Hydrologic similarity between catchments, derived from similarity in how catchments respond to precipitation input, is the basis for catchment classification, for transferability of information, for generalization of our hydrologic understanding and also for understanding the potential impacts of environmental change. An important question in...conference paper 2011

Thompson, S.E. (author), Harman, C.J. (author), Konings, A.G. (author), Sivapalan, M. (author), Neal, A. (author), Troch, P.A. (author)Watersheds can be characterized as complex space?time filters that transform incoming fluxes of energy, water, and nutrients into variable output signals. The behavior of these filters is driven by climate, geomorphology, and ecology and, accordingly, varies from site to site. We investigated this variation by exploring the behavior of...journal article 2011

Li, H. (author), Sivapalan, M. (author)This paper presents a theoretical investigation of the effects of spatial heterogeneity of runoff generation on the scaling behavior of runoff timing responses. A previous modeling study on the Illinois River Basin in Oklahoma had revealed a systematic spatial trend in the relative dominance of different runoff generation mechanisms,...journal article 2011

Sivapalan, M. (author), Yaeger, M.A. (author), Harman, C.J. (author), Xu, X. (author), Troch, P.A. (author)This paper presents analysis of annual water balance variability, (1) regional (between-catchment) variability and (2) between-year (interannual) variability and the symmetry between the two. This involved analysis of the annual water balance in terms of a two-stage partitioning, first, of annual precipitation into quick flow and soil wetting...journal article 2011

Harman, C.J. (author), Troch, P.A. (author), Sivapalan, M. (author)Assessing the sensitivity of annual streamflow to precipitation is challenging due to the complexity of the processes that control the water balance. A low-dimensional model can be useful to interrogate data in regional assessments of a large number of catchments, and can provide insights into the broad similarities and differences between...journal article 2011

(author), Rinaldo, A. (author), Rao, S.P.C. (author)Complexity of heterogeneous catchments poses challenges in predicting biogeochemical responses to human alterations and stochastic hydro?climatic drivers.

McGrath, G.S. (author), Hinz, C. (author), Sivapalan, M. (author)The experimental evidence suggests that for many chemicals surface runoff and rapid preferential flow through the shallow unsaturated zone are significant pathways for transport to streams and groundwater. The signature of this is the episodic and pulsed leaching of these chemicals. The driver for this transport is the timing and magnitude of...journal article 2009
