Climate change (CC) is currently considered as the most severe and devastating environmental catastrophe facing the globe. CC is the latest environmental driver of global environmental change causing rainfall shortage and water stress across the globe. This chapter reports a study carried out on water...
The construction of new small water infrastructures (SWIs), such as deep wells and boreholes, is increasingly supported by climate resilience programmes of non-governmental organizations and national governments to improve water availability for agro-pastoralists, especially as an emergency response to ...
Water resilience refers to the ability to plan for, mitigate, and respond to floods, hurricanes, droughts and other catastrophic climate events that can impact infrastructure. Fortunately, forward-thinking engineering and construction firms around the world are already on the case. By using digital w...
The development objectives of the Water Security and Climate Resilience Project for Kenya are to (i) increase availability and productivity of irrigation water for project beneficiaries; and (ii) enhance the institutional framework and strengthen capacity for water security and climate resilience for the...
Our analysis suggests that decentralized water systems can serve as a cornerstone of efforts to enhance resource efficiency and improve the resilience of cities.Similar content being viewed by others Decision making for implementing non-traditional water sources: a review of challenges and potential ...
Urban areas around the globe are becoming less liveable due to water stress, exacerbated by climate change. This needs to change right now. 由于水资源问题带来的压力,全球的城市地区正变得越来越不适合居住,而气候变化又加剧了这种压力。这种情况现在就需要改变。
The action plan on water seeks to transform the approach to water supply, sanitation, water management and disaster risk reduction in order to better tackle water stress, combat climate change and enhance resilience; to align existing water and sanitation programs and projects with the 2030 Agenda ...
As climate change gets worse, groundwater will become more and more critical. We need to work together to sustainably manage this precious resource. Groundwater may be out of sight, but it must not be out of mind. With carefully curated journal articles, this World Water Day special issue,...
area of Melbourne are a quintessential example of a highly-regulated water system, with a number of reservoirs that enhance local resilience and help the region cope with climatic extremes through water storage and redistribution (though the area is still vulnerable to climate change and variability)...
