This chapter contributes to the understanding of coupled human-water systems by providing approaches to describing and categorizing the sociohydrological phenomena from the causative perspective, allowing comparison and integration among real-world case studies, thus helping to reduce water resources management dimensionality. It will do this through invoking the principles and practices of systems thinking, and in particular, through organizing the range of sociohydrologic phenomena into a small number of what are known as system archetypes. The use of archetypes serves the dual role of both diagnosing the causes and mechanisms of the generation of emergent phenomena, but also prescribing and testing system-level collective governance solutions to observed phenomena.
