Specific challenges for data and models in post-fire hydrology are best
addressed by subdividing global hydrological functioning into water
domains, shown in the figure as the ecohydrological domain, ecosystem services domain,
socio-hydrologic domain, and water security domain.Water
supply is impacted by wildfire via water domain interactions, but much remains
unclear about the magnitude and direction of these interactions (background
