Resumo(s)
Ecohydrology is a scientific concept applied to problem-
solving in environmental issues. It recognises that the present
practice of relying nearly exclusively on engineering fixes to
solve environmental problems is failing to restore the aquatic
environment to a level that can sustain the quality of life that
people are demanding. Ecohydrology is based on the ability of
science to quantify and explain the relationships between hy-
drological processes and biotic dynamics at a catchment scale
and to manipulate these processes to increase the robustness of
the aquatic system and thus its ability to cope with human-
induced stresses. The concept was developed by the UNESCO
International Hydrologic Programme (IHP) and the Man and
Biosphere Programme (MAB).
