Managing Water in a Shifting Climate
This article discusses the challenges of managing water resources in the context of climate change. New methods are emerging for climate adaptation in managing water resources, and should begin by implementing practices at the forefront of sound water management, such as environmental flows, integrated water resource management, and the preferential use of “soft” over “hard” infrastructure. The article discusses five elements that should be considered when adapting water management programs to climate change, including: holistically assess hydro‐ecologic effects and vulnerabilities; understand thresholds; pursue “basin thinking,” even if actions are focused on a project scale; approach water management from a multidisciplinary perspective; and, consider the institutional challenges presented by climate change.
