Summary/Abstract: The research carried out into hydrology aims to describe water processes in order to provide practical guidelines in water resources management. The hydrological and technical research approach and the resulting practical implications have visible limitations. This paper reviews the concept of socio-hydrology, a specific approach that has emerged within hydrology that implies the need to consider the social aspect in water research. The reasons for the emergence of socio-hydrology are briefly discussed, followed by the characteristics of this approach. Finally, the author discusses the benefits and difficulties of this type of interdisciplinary research.
