Resource information
This report focuses on how we achieve
water sustainability over long timescales - decades, even
centuries from now. These timescales are important and
relevant to our decisions about planning, infrastructure,
and institutions today. Many of the methods we use to manage
water, directly or indirectly, commit us to future decision
pathways and restrict us from making other, alternative
decisions. Across the first four chapters, this report
describes the challenges of including climate change in
water management decision-making and provides an overview of
current practices in the adaptation field. After considering
the pros and cons of these practices, the book concludes
with a framework for an adaptation approach supported by
Alliance for Global Water Adaptation (AGWA).
