About the Conference

The highly dynamic and often non-linear behaviour of ecohydrological processes pose unique challenges in understanding, monitoring and conserving aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Complex process interactions often cause ecohydrological processes to show pronounced temporal dynamics and exhibit marked non-linear behaviour in response to environmental change. Such behaviour manifests itself by the occurrence of distinct thresholds, tipping points or hot moments, periods of enhanced (re)activity and rapid regime shifts; but may also be associated with pronounced spatial heterogeneity, producing locations of enhanced activity or hot spots.

Join global experts investigating the links between water systems, ecosystem dynamics, and human health.  The 8th international conference in the series brings together, for the first time, interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners from hydrology, ecohydrology, environmental and public health, social sciences, and policy to explore the interconnected challenges of water, health, and sustainability within a One Health framework. Over five days, the event will feature keynote talks, interactive panels, and research showcases designed to foster meaningful dialogue and spark innovative approaches. With a strong focus on cross-disciplinary collaboration, the conference welcomes academics, students, policymakers, and industry professionals working at the intersection of water and health.
