The combination of a changing climate and a growing global population is placing increased demands on water resources, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. To manage global resources and reduce societal vulnerability, water managers and planners can benefit from using effectively developed climate change decision-support tools.
The future of water management will be driven by climate change, forcing water resource managers to adopt new strategies in the coming decades. Riverside is developing a climate change decision support system to help water managers understand and exploit anticipated climate changes.
