It helps to build links between science and policy and practice in the area of water resources management and governance, relates institutional and technological innovations, and identifies in which ways research can assist policy and practice in the field of sustainable freshwater management. Until the industrial revolution, human beings and their activities played an insignificant role influencing the dynamics of the Earth system, the sum of our planet‘s interacting physical, chemical, and biological processes. Today, humankind even exceeds nature in terms of changing the biosphere and affecting all other facets of Earth system functioning. A growing number of scientists argue that humanity has entered a new geological epoch that needs a corresponding name: the Anthropocene. Human activities impact the global water system as part of the Earth system, and change the way water moves around the globe like never before. Thus, managing freshwater use wisely in the planetary water cycle has become a key challenge to reach global environmental sustainability.Springer Water,2364-6934Physical geographyEnvironmental managementHydrologyClimate changeEarth System Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G35000Water Policy/Water Governance/Water Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000Hydrology/Water Resourceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/211000Climate Change/Climate Change Impactshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/313000Climate Change Management and Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/314000Physical geography.Environmental management.Hydrology.Climate change.Earth System Sciences.Water Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.Hydrology/Water Resources.Climate Change/Climate Change Impacts.Climate Change Management and Policy.363.61Bhaduri Anikedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBogardi Janosedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtLeentvaar Janedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMarx Sinaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910298363903321The Global Water System in the Anthropocene2532982UNINA
