Abstract
How can the digital humanities help the humanities and higher education serve larger society so as to show the distinct value of the humanities? (Liu, 2012, 30) This paper speaks to a variant of Alan Liu's question: how to enhance the contributions of qualitative social and cultural research to urban water management, and more generally to national innovation, sustainability and climate change adaptation agendas. Here I offer observations from my recent research on the links between urban water managers and HASS [humanities, arts and social sciences] researchers (Sofoulis 2011b), in conjunction with issues of HASS involvement in the 'Strategic Roadmap for Australian Research Infrastructure' (DIISR, 2008, 2011), a government-led process of scoping and reviewing the high end computational and networking capacities that support collaborative research in areas of national research priority.
