Garcia, L.E.Matthews, J.H.Rodriguez, D.J.Wijnen, M.DiFrancesco, K.N.Ray, P.2015-01-052015-01-052014-09-11https://hdl.handle.net/10986/21066This 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).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAIRALLOCATIONANNUAL PRECIPITATIONAQUATIC ECOSYSTEMSASSESSMENT OF CLIMATE RISKSATMOSPHEREATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATIONATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENABASESCARBONCARBON DIOXIDECARBON EMISSIONSCLIMATECLIMATE ADAPTATIONCLIMATE ASSESSMENTSCLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATIONCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSCLIMATE CHANGE PROJECTIONSCLIMATE CHANGE RISKCLIMATE CONDITIONSCLIMATE CYCLESCLIMATE DYNAMICSCLIMATE EVENTSCLIMATE EXTREMESCLIMATE FORECASTSCLIMATE IMPACTCLIMATE IMPACT ASSESSMENTSCLIMATE IMPACTSCLIMATE INFORMATIONCLIMATE MODEL PREDICTIONSCLIMATE MODELINGCLIMATE MODELSCLIMATE OBSERVATIONSCLIMATE PARAMETERSCLIMATE PATTERNSCLIMATE POLICIESCLIMATE POLICYCLIMATE PREDICTIONCLIMATE PREDICTION MODELSCLIMATE PREDICTIONSCLIMATE PROJECTIONSCLIMATE RESILIENCECLIMATE RESPONSECLIMATE RISKCLIMATE RISK ASSESSMENTCLIMATE RISK MANAGEMENTCLIMATE RISKSCLIMATE SCENARIOCLIMATE SCIENCECLIMATE SENSITIVITIESCLIMATE SENSITIVITYCLIMATE SHIFTSCLIMATE SIGNALCLIMATE SIGNALSCLIMATE SIMULATIONSCLIMATE SPACECLIMATE STRESSCLIMATE UNCERTAINTYCLIMATE VARIABILITYCLIMATE VARIABLESCLIMATE VULNERABILITYCLIMATE-RELATED RISKSCLIMATE-RELATED VULNERABILITIESCLIMATESCLIMATIC CHANGESCLIMATIC STRESSORSCOCOLORSCOMMUNITY MEMBERSCONVERGENCECOST-BENEFITDECISION PROCESSDEEP UNCERTAINTYDEFORESTATIONDESALINATIONDISCOUNT RATEDISCOUNT RATESDISTRIBUTION FUNCTIONSDROUGHTECONOMIC CONDITIONSECONOMIC MODELSECOSYSTEMEMISSIONEMISSION SCENARIOSEMISSIONSEMISSIONS SCENARIOSENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONEVAPORATIONEVAPOTRANSPIRATIONEXTREME EVENTSEXTREME PRECIPITATIONEXTREME SCENARIOSFINANCIAL DECISIONFINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSFLOOD DAMAGESFLOOD FORECASTINGFLOOD RISKFLOODSFLOW REGIMESFOGFORESTFOREST FIRESFOSSIL FUELSFRESHWATER ECOSYSTEMSFUTURE CLIMATE SCENARIOSGCMGENERAL CIRCULATION MODELGHGGLACIAL PERIODSGLOBAL CLIMATEGLOBAL CLIMATE MODELGLOBAL CLIMATE SYSTEMGLOBAL WARMINGGLOBAL WATER PARTNERSHIPGOLDGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GASESGROUNDWATER RESOURCESGWPHYDROLOGIC MODELSHYDROLOGIC PROCESSESHYDROLOGIC VARIABLESHYDROLOGICAL CONDITIONSHYDROLOGICAL CYCLEHYDROLOGICAL EXTREMESHYDROLOGICAL PROCESSESHYDROLOGICAL STATISTICSHYDROLOGYIMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEIMPLICATIONS OF CLIMATE CHANGEIMPLICATIONS OF CLIMATE CHANGE FOR WATERINITIAL INVESTMENTINSURANCEINTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGEINVESTMENT COSTSINVESTMENT DECISIONSIPCCIRRIGATION SYSTEMSLAKESLAND MANAGEMENTLAND USELOCAL CAPACITYLONG-TERM CLIMATE CHANGEMETHANEMONSOONSNATURAL CLIMATE VARIABILITYNATURAL WATER RESOURCESOSCILLATIONSPOPULATION GROWTHPPPRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLEPRESENT VALUEPROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONPROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONSPROBABILITY OF OCCURRENCERAINREGIONAL CLIMATEREGIONAL CLIMATE MODELRIVER BASINRIVERSSCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDINGSCIENTISTSSENSITIVITY ANALYSESSTOCHASTIC PROCESSSUSTAINABLE WATERSUSTAINABLE WATER MANAGEMENTTEMPERATURETEMPERATURE FORCINGTEMPORAL RESOLUTIONTROPICAL CYCLONESUNCERTAINTIESUNCERTAINTY ANALYSISVULNERABILITY TO CLIMATE CHANGEWARMER CLIMATEWASTEWATER TREATMENTWATER ALLOCATIONSWATER AVAILABILITYWATER BODIESWATER CONSERVATIONWATER CYCLEWATER DEMANDWATER DEMAND MANAGEMENTWATER DEVELOPMENTWATER INFRASTRUCTUREWATER INVESTMENTSWATER MANAGEMENT DECISIONWATER MANAGERSWATER POLICYWATER PRICINGWATER PROJECTSWATER QUALITYWATER RESOURCEWATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENTWATER RESOURCESWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTWATER SECTORWATER SERVICESWATER STORAGEWATER SUPPLYWATER SYSTEMWATER SYSTEMSWATER TRANSFERSWATER USEWATER USERSWATERSHED MANAGEMENTWEATHER PATTERNS10.1596/21066
