本文试图阐明关键的生物物理问题以及社会生态水文流域管理涉及的伦理问题。管理复杂系统的问题是忍受不可避免的变化，同时确保流域生态水文系统维持人类最终依赖的重要生态产品和服务（水生和陆地）的能力。以可持续发展为导向的流域管理必须基于道德原则：人权、国际公约、维持重要的生态产品和服务以及保护生态系统的复原力，所有这些都与水有关。必须识别、评估和减轻许多弱点，以改进解决道德问题的工具：科学和管理方面限制狭隘视野的传统，现代科学系统中的捷径不足，分析（例如解决可持续性问题的科学），水和/水/生态系统管理中对水和生态系统的简单化技术修复方法，用于评估科学质量的传统工具，其重点是“正确地做事”而不是“做正确的事”事”。新的伦理必须纳入一些原则，在流域的基础上，适当关注上游和下游的饥饿者和穷人、后代以及需要保护的地点和栖息地。
This paper attempts to clarify key biophysical issues and the problems involved in the ethics of socio-ecohydrological catchment management. The issue in managing complex systems is to live with unavoidable change while securing the capacity of the ecohydrological system of the catchment to sustain vital ecological goods and services, aquatic as well as terrestrial, on which humanity depends ultimately. Catchment management oriented to sustainability has to be based on ethical principles: human rights, international conventions, sustaining crucial ecological goods and services, and protecting ecosystem resilience, all of which have water link-ages. Many weaknesses have to be identified, assessed and mitigated to improve the tools by which the ethical issues can be addressed and solved:a heritage of constraining tunnel vision in both science and management',inadequate shortcuts made in modern scientific system, analyses (e.g. science addressing sustainability issues),simplistic technical-fix approaches to water and ecosystems in I and/water/ecosystem management,conventional tools for evaluation of scientific quality with its focus on "doing the thing right" rather than "doing the right thing". The new ethics have to incorporate principles that, on a catchment basis, allow for proper attention to the hungry and poor, upstream and downstream, to descendants, and to sites and habitats that need to be protected.
