HELPING and the co-creation of a working group In 2023, the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS), inaugurated a new Scientific Decade, called HELPING – IAHS Science for Solutions decade, with Hydrology Engaging Local People IN one Global world. This third decade was established through a bottom-up process, by investigating the interests and the urgency of local hydrologists and scientists, leading to an outcome that envisioned creating solutions of local water problems by considering local data, methods and community values. …
