Resumo(s)

Ecohydrology is a transdisciplinary and applied science, a sub-discipline of hydrology that seeks to understand and apply the natural ecological processes controlled by the hydrological cycle and vice versa1. This ‘dual regulation’2–4 knowledge is used to develop solutions restoring impacted aquatic ecosystems at the entire river system, where a starting point for the regulation of processes is the identification of a hierarchy of drivers at different ecosystems5. It is a solution-oriented science for reducing anthropogenic impacts, enhancing aquatic ecosystems and their catchment sustainability, improving water resources, bioproductivity and biodiversity, ecosystem services6 and resilience at the whole mesocycle, while the involvement of society through water culture and water education will be crucial for effective implementation. The continuous development of science-based solutions must be accompanied by dissemination and education about the concept of ecohydrology and its potential application and solutions.
