WG 3.3: Co-Creating Water Knowledge

Resumo

The ideal of knowledge society, the paradigm shift towards Open Science, and the (co-)creation of solutions as ambitioned in the HELPING decade of IAHS require that scientists, managers and stakeholders articulate and align towards value chainings from data to information and knowledge, and from data to products and services. This is particularly true in hydrology and water management. Because of polycentric challenges across levels and scales, and across local contexts and scenes, paths of progress are case-dependent but some principles shall be consolidated to serve as a reference framework. We will present how FAIR principles are needed but insufficient; how CARE principles can be expanded beyond indigenous towards a wider co-design perspective; and how a third SQUARE dimension shall be developed (as identified by Cudennec et al., 2020, 2022 in the IAHS-UNESCO-WMO special issue on data-related challenges).
