Issue-Specific Partnerships with Climate-Sensitive Water Resource Managers
Our analysis of the sensitivity of water resource users to the stresses of climate variability and regional growth, coupled with an understanding of the benefits and pitfalls of various coping strategies, provides information on the factors that limit the ability of different water resource managers to provide sufficient water of adequate quality. It also helps us to understand the difficult decisions during times of water shortages, and will allow us to develop issue-specific partnerships with climate-sensitive water resource managers in order to identify the way in which climate information can be used to inform and improve various coping strategies.
