Ecohydrological Conference (HydroEco 2026)
From September 14, 2026 to September 18, 2026
University of Birmingham, UK
HydroEco is back! The 8th international multidisciplinary conference on the topic of “HydroEcology Meets One Health” will take place from 14th – 18th September 2026 at the University of Birmingham, UK.
The interface of water and health is of great importance to research, the environment and society as we see increasing pressures including hydrological extremes and water pollution, effecting water security and global health.
This event will bring together researchers, public and private sector practitioners, regulators, and NGOs, to exchange knowledge, experience and best practice.
Ecohydrology as a scientific discipline has been emerging from the need to address the interaction and feedback between ecological, hydrological, geomorphological and atmospheric processes, and aims to understand and predict fast changing aquatic-terrestrial environments. Over the last decade, the scientific discipline of Ecohydrology has seen rapid technological and conceptual developments. One Health approaches acknowledge that tackling interconnected environmental and human health challenges requires understanding the links between human, environmental and animal health. There is therefore great potential to utilise process understanding of ecohydrological mechanisms, traits and functions to underline solutions to global One Health challenges.
The highly dynamic and often non-linear behaviour of ecohydrological processes pose unique challenges in understanding, monitoring and conserving aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Complex process interactions often cause ecohydrological processes to show pronounced temporal dynamics and exhibit marked non-linear behaviour in response to environmental change. Such behaviour manifests itself by the occurrence of distinct thresholds, tipping points or hot moments, periods of enhanced (re)activity and rapid regime shifts; but may also be associated with pronounced spatial heterogeneity, producing locations of enhanced activity or hot spots.
Join global experts investigating the links between water systems, ecosystem dynamics, and human health. The 8th international conference in the series brings together, for the first time, interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners from hydrology, ecohydrology, environmental and public health, social sciences, and policy to explore the interconnected challenges of water, health, and sustainability within a One Health framework. Over five days, the event will feature keynote talks, interactive panels, and research showcases designed to foster meaningful dialogue and spark innovative approaches. With a strong focus on cross-disciplinary collaboration, the conference welcomes academics, students, policymakers, and industry professionals working at the intersection of water and health.
