Climate change is challenging the conventional approaches for water systems planning. Two main approaches are commonly implemented in the design of climate change adaptation plans: impact-oriented top-down approaches and vulnerability-oriented bottom-up approaches. In order to overcome the shortcomings of both approaches and take advantage of their...
The adaptation to the multiple facets of climate/global change challenges the conventional means of water system planning. Numerous demand and supply management options are often available, from which a portfolio of adaptation measures needs to be selected in a context of high uncertainty about future conditions. A framework is developed to integra...
This paper develops a participatory methodology to integrate farmer’s vision in the design
of an adaptation strategy to global change in the Jucar River basin. It aims at answering three questions: How farmers perceive climate change impacts; which adaptation measures they consider; and how they assess these measures. Participatory workshops with d...
The adaptation of water resource systems to the potential impacts of climate change requires mixed portfolios of supply and demand adaptation measures. The issue is not only to select efficient, robust and flexible adaptation portfolios but also to find equitable strategies of cost allocation among the stakeholders. Our work addresses such cost all...
Increasing water scarcity challenges conventional approaches to managing water resources. More holistic tools and methods are required to support the integrated planning and management of fresh water resources at the river basin level. This paper compares an index-based cost-effectiveness analysis (IBCEA) with a least-cost river basin optimization...
Shaping global change adaptation strategy in water resource systems requires an interdisciplinary approach to deal with the multiple dimensions of the problem. The modelling framework presented integrates climate, economic, agronomic and hydrological scenarios to design a programme of adaptation measures at the river basin scale. Future demand scen...
Economic analysis plays an increasingly important role in managing water resources and aquatic environments. For example, it can assist water managers in determining the economic value produced by various water uses in a river basin. It can also contribute to identifying the most cost-effective programmes of measures in view of reaching good status...
One of the main challenges in the implementation of the Water Framework
Directive (WFD) in the European Union is the definition of programme of
measures to reach the good status of the European water bodies. In areas
where water scarcity is an issue, one of these challenges is the
selection of water conservation and capacity expansion measures to
e...
This article presents a case study which illustrates how an integrated
hydro-economic model can be applied to optimize a program of measures
(PoM) at the river basin level. By allowing the integration of
hydrological, environmental and economic aspects at a local scale, this
model is indeed useful to assist water policy decision making processes.
