Water Storage in an Era of Climate Change
Addressing the Challenge of Increasing Rainfall Variability
Blue Paper, Media release, Video commentary and more...
For many of the world's poorest people, rainfall variability is a major impediment to their livelihoods.
The inability to predict and manage rainfall, and consequent runoff, variability is a key contributing
factor to their food insecurity and poverty. Frequent periods with too much water are followed by
periods with too little and intermittent water scarcity is often a direct consequence of rainfall variability.
This is likely to be exacerbated by climate change. |
