Abstract
Watersheds in planetary health research and action
Highlights
Watersheds are recognised in contemporary science as important natural systems in which to investigate the complex socioecological foundations of health.[1]
There have been recent calls for the development of a discipline of “watershed epidemiology”, recognising this geophysically bounded landscape as a socioecologically relevant unit of investi gation to improve our understanding of the water-landhuman health nexus.[5]
A review of scientific literature published between 2000 and 2010,6 revealed that human health is addressed in only 3·5% of academic journal articles on watershed management, and watershed management is virtually absent from public health literature
Summary
Watersheds ( known as water catchments and river basins) are recognised in contemporary science as important natural systems in which to investigate the complex socioecological foundations of health.[1]. Watersheds ( known as water catchments and river basins) are recognised in contemporary science as important natural systems in which to investigate the complex socioecological foundations of health.[1] A watershed is the spatially bound geophysical unit within which surface and shallow groundwater drain to a single collecting stream or river (see appendix).
