Socio-hydrology
Socio-hydrology is the study of how people and water interact with each other. Think of water as a big giant pool, and people are like the pool noodles (those long colorful floats you play with in the pool).
Sometimes people take water out of the pool (like when we drink water or take a shower), and sometimes people put water back into the pool (like when we use a sprinkler or flush the toilet).
Socio-hydrology is like studying how people use water and how that affects the water. It's important to study because if we use too much water, we might not have enough left for everyone to use, and the pool might dry up!
Scientists who study socio-hydrology try to understand how water and people affect each other in different places all around the world. They use fancy tools to measure how much water is being used and how much is left in the pool, and they talk to people to learn about their water needs and habits.
By studying socio-hydrology, scientists can help make sure that we use water in a smart way and that everyone has enough water to use.
