Growing populations, limited water availability, and changing social values have increased the complexity of water resource planning. Water providers and other stakeholders are struggling to understand the impacts of global climate change on water supplies, water demands and vulnerability of source-area environmental resources and socio-ecological systems. This book provides insights on these issues and describes strategies for building adaptive capacity while improving environmental stewardship. It helps readers understand patterns of water availability, existing policy problems and the potential impacts of climate change.…mehr

Kathleen A. Miller is an economist working at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, in the Climate Science and Applications Program. She conducts research on climate impacts, vulnerability, and adaptation. Her work focuses especially on natural resource governance and adaptation planning under uncertainty and on modeling interactions between human strategic behavior and dynamic natural systems. She is the author of numerous papers on the management of water, fisheries, and other natural resources in the context of climate variability and prospective climate change. Douglas S. Kenney has been with the University of Colorado's Getches-Wilkinson Center for Natural Resources, Energy and the Environment since 1996 where he directs the Western Water Policy Program. He researches and writes extensively on several water-related issues, including law and policy reform, river basin- and watershed-level planning, the design of institutional arrangements, water resource economics, and climate change adaptation. Dr. Kenney has also served as a consultant to a variety of local, state, multistate, and federal agencies, and has made presentations in 20 U.S. states, seven countries, and four continents. Alan F. Hamlet is an assistant professor in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering & Earth Sciences, College of Engineering, at University of Notre Dame. Dr. Hamlet's research is focused on the integrated modeling of climate variability and change, surface water hydrology, water resource systems, the built environment, and aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. He has been actively involved in stakeholder education and outreach programs in the Pacific Northwest for many years and is a leader in the development of decision support systems and sustainable climate change adaptation strategies in the water sector. Kelly T. Redmond is the deputy director and regional climatologist at the Western Regional Climate Center at the Desert Research Institute, Reno, Nevada. He has played an active role nationally in development of the climate services sector. Dr. Redmond is currently working on several projects for the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS). He is closely involved in the NOAA Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessment (RISA) Program and the Department of Interior Climate Science Center Program. He has also served on and contributed to approximately a dozen committees for the National Academy of Sciences and National Research Council.
