Abstract

Understanding how society can address and mitigate threats to groundwater sustainability remains a pressing challenge in the Anthropocene era. This article presents the first comprehensive and critical review of coupling Groundwater Models and Agent-Based Models (GW-ABMs) to address four key challenges: (1) adequately representing human behaviour, (2) capturing spatial and temporal variations, (3) integrating two-way feedback loops between social and physical systems, and (4) incorporating water governance structures. Our findings indicate a growing effort to model bounded rationality in human behaviour (Challenge 1 or C1) and a dominant focus on policy applications (C4). Future research should address data scarcity issues through Epstein’s Backward approach (C2), capture feedbacks via tele-coupled GW-ABMs, and explore other modelling techniques like Analytic Elements Groundwater Models (C3). We conclude with recommendations to thrust future GW-ABMs to the highest standards, aiming to enhance their acceptance and impact in decision-making and policy formulation for sustainable groundwater management. This resource represents the literature review database for the article: Marcos Canales, Juan Castilla-Rho, Rodrigo Rojas, Sebastian Vicuna, James Ball, Agent-based models of groundwater systems: A review of an emerging approach to simulate the interactions between groundwater and society, Environmental Modelling and Software (2024), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsoft.2024.105980

Model exploration: Aimed to identify critical or interesting regions in the space of the input factors, or trace how an output of interest is generated, or study which values of the input factors lead to model realisations in a given range of the output space (i.e., the factor mapping setting). Other: This category captures any other purpose not included in the previous ones. N.A.: Not Applicable
- SA Method Type: Name of the method used for Sensitivity Analysis if applicable.

## Intended Use
This dataset underpins a scientific article that critically examines the integration of Groundwater Models (GWMs) and Agent-Based Models (ABMs) to navigate and mitigate the complexities of groundwater sustainability threats in the Anthropocene era. It is specifically tailored for:

Academic Research: Scholars and researchers in hydrogeology, environmental science, and socio-hydrology can leverage this dataset to explore the nuances of human-water interactions, focusing on the representation of human behaviour, spatial-temporal dynamics, feedback mechanisms between social and hydrological systems, and water governance frameworks.

Model Development: This dataset is instrumental for developing and refining GW-ABMs that aim to address the outlined challenges. It is particularly valuable for those looking to incorporate bounded rationality in human decision-making processes, enhance the representation of policy impacts on groundwater systems.

Policy Analysis and Decision Making: Policymakers and water resource managers can use insights derived from analyses based on this dataset to inform and shape effective and sustainable groundwater management policies. The dataset's focus on water governance structures and policy applications makes it a critical tool for understanding and implementing best practices in water resource management.

Education and Training: Educators and trainers can utilize this dataset in curricula and workshops to illustrate the complexity of coupling social and physical systems in groundwater management, fostering a deeper understanding of interdisciplinary approaches in environmental science and hydrogeology.
