中文摘要：

社会水文学是水文学和自然、社会、人文的交叉学科,主要探究人-水耦合系统的双向互馈方式及其协同进化的动态机理,并着力解决当今人类所面临的水资源可持续利用等问题.本文从社会水文学的产生背景与形成过程入手,介绍了社会水文学的基本概念,总结了其学科特点;从人-水耦合系统中的权衡、水资源管理中的利益关系、人-水耦合系统中的虚拟水研究三方面论述了社会水文学的主要研究内容,并辨析了其与传统水文学、生态水文学和水文社会学的区别与联系;最后从完善学科内容、深化定量研究、注重社会水文学中的尺度研究、社会水文学与生态水文学的融合等方面对社会水文学的发展前景进行了展望,以期推动我国社会水文学研究的发展.

英文摘要：

Socio-hydrology is an interdiscipline of hydrology, nature, society and humanity. It mainly explores the two-way feedbacks of coupled human-water system and its dynamic mechanism of co-evolution, and makes efforts to solve the issues that human faces today such as sustainable uti- lization of water resources. Starting from the background, formation process, and fundamental con- cept of socio-hydrology, this paper summarized the features of socio-hydrology. The main research content of socio-hydrology was reduced to three aspects： The tradeoff in coupled human-water sys- tem, interests in water resources management system. And its differences as well as relations and virtual water research in coupled human-water with traditional hydrology, eco-hydrology and hydro- sociology were dwelled on. Finally, with hope to promote the development of socio-hydrology resear- ches in China, the paper made prospects for the development of the subject from following aspects： Completing academic content and deepening quantitative research, focusing on scale studies of socio-hydrology, fusing socio-hydrology and coo-hydrology.
