Ecohydrology is an emerging, cross disciplinary subfield of hydrology devoted to the mutual interactions between water and ecosystems [1]
The important questions of what these interactions mean for human society and how human society impacts these interactions are part of this subject
Summary
Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. The specific climatic/geographic focus here is arid lands broadly defined as water deficit regions where potential evapotranspiration (PET) exceeds precipitation (P). An interesting and instructive example of the value of ecohydrology in better understanding and managing water in arid areas of the planet has been the effort to partially rehabilitate the northern part of the Aral Sea. The author of this editorial has been involved with research on this subject since the early 1980s, including on-site field research, data gathering and the publication of results.
