contents In this study, we discuss how reinforcement learning (RL) provides an effective and efficient framework for solving sociohydrology problems. The efficacy of RL for these types of problems is evident because of its ability to update policies in an iterative manner - something that is also foundational to sociohydrology, where we are interested in representing the co-evolution of human-water interactions. We present a simple case study to demonstrate the implementation of RL in a problem of runoff reduction through management decisions related to changes in land-use land-cover (LULC). We then discuss the benefits of RL for these types of problems and share our perspectives on the future research directions in this area.
