“…Yet, ill-planned implementation of these interventions can lead to negative externalities and unintended and unexpected impacts on hydrological and social systems (Alam et al, 2022). Human adaptation can lead to a "lock-in" towards unintended or undesired states (Pouladi et al, 2022;Prasad et al, 2022). Irrigation investments can significantly alter the availability and allocation of water flows in a given region, leading to hydrological externalities such as reduced runoff, upstream-downstream impacts, decreased groundwater recharge and baseflows (Calder et al, 2008;Bouma et al, 2011;Alam et al, 2022).…”

“…Similarly, Kuil et al (2018) showed how the rebound effect can be captured by developing a sociohydrological model framework which links farmers' perceptions of water availability to their crop choice and water allocation in Kenya's Upper Ewaso Ng'iro basin. Pouladi et al (2022) provided a sociohydrological explanation of the lock-in effect of lake desiccation and soil salinisation of Lake Urmia (Iran), which resulted from interacting anthropogenic and (surface and subsurface) environmental processes, while Prasad et al (2022) explained lock-in in irrigation from groundwater emerging from 'aspirational' and 'vulnerability' intensification that is mediated by agriculturalists' perception of income risks in horticulture in Maharashtra (India). Garrick et al (2019) have pointed out that water reallocations from agriculture to cities have been documented in many regions across the world.…”

Given the increasing demand for high-quality food and protein, global food security remains a challenge, particularly in the face of global change. However, since agriculture, food and water security are inextricably linked, they need to be examined via an interdisciplinary lens. Sociohydrology was introduced from a post-positivist perspective to explore and describe the bidirectional feedbacks and dynamics between human and water systems. This review situates sociohydrology in the agricultural domain, highlighting its contributions in explaining the unintended consequences of water management interventions, addressing climate change impacts due to/on agriculture and incorporating human behaviour into the description of agricultural water systems. Sociohydrology has combined social and psychological insights with novel data sources and diverse multi-method approaches to model human behaviour. However, as agriculture and agriculturalists face global change, sociohydrology can better use concepts from resilience thinking more explicitly to identify gaps in terms of desirable properties in resilient agricultural water systems, potentially informing more holistic climate adaptation policy.

“…Less than 3% of available water on earth is freshwater (Fitts, 2013) and its demand is vastly increasing (Ashoori et al, 2017;Boretti and Rosa, 2019;Pouladi et al, 2022). So, it is essential to conserve existing freshwater resources, especially in dry climate regions like Iran which 90% is arid and semi-arid (Oroud, 2015;Hassan and Peirson, 2016;Boazar et al, 2019).…”

Evaporation is a significant outflow in water bodies and is the only outflow in man-made Chitgar Lake. It is estimated to be more than 2 million cubic meters annually. In order to mitigate this outflow, we investigated different kinds of self-assembled thickness films. They consist of six different combinations of stearyl and cetyl alcohols with additives including jojoba oil, stearic acid, and calcium hydroxide. The study has been done from July to August with two pairs of class A evaporation pans; one pair semi-floated on Chitgar lake water and another one located on the shore. The experimental results showed that a monolayer contained 3:1 stearyl to cetyl alcohols with 60% weight of calcium hydroxide had the best performance and could reduce evaporation up to 50% during its 3 days’ lifetime. The study indicated that the films had no significant side effects on lake water pH, turbidity, and total suspended solids except slight increase in water surface temperature.
