Towards the hydraulics of the hydroinformatics era

Many new areas of academic endeavour naturally evolve a new way of talking as a means of promoting their novelty and distinctiveness as a new research programme (in the sense of Lakatos, 1978). This paper quite clearly demonstrates that this is as true of hydroinformatics as it has been previously in some of the writings of the post-modernist authors referred to. That this can lead to difficulties of communication is wonderfully demonstrated by the critique of post-modern expression by Sokal and Bricmont (1997, 1998). This paper seems to suffer from a similar problem in communicating its ideas.
