Sustainability, Vol. 10, Pages 1516: Applying Place-Based Social-Ecological Research to Address Water Scarcity: Insights for Future Research Sustainability doi: 10.3390/su10051516 Authors: Antonio J. Castro Cristina Quintas-Soriano Jodi Brandt Carla L. Atkinson Colden V. Baxter Morey Burnham Benis N. Egoh Marina García-Llorente Jason P. Julian Berta Martín-López Felix Haifeng Liao Katrina Running Caryn C. Vaughn Albert V. Norström Globally, environmental and social change in water-scarce regions challenge the sustainability of social-ecological systems. WaterSES, a sponsored working group within the Program for Ecosystem Change and Society, explores and compares the social-ecological dynamics related to water scarcity across placed-based international research sites with contrasting local and regional water needs and governance, including research sites in Spain and Sweden in Europe, South Africa, China, and Alabama, Idaho, Oklahoma, and Texas in the USA. This paper aims to provide a commentary on insights into conducting future solutions-oriented research on water scarcity based on the understanding of the social-ecological dynamics of water scarce regions.
