title: Adapting Water Management A Primer on Coping with Climate Change creator: Matthews, John H. creator: Quesne, Tom Le contributor: HSBC Climate Partnership publisher: WWF-UK date: 2009-03 language: English description: This primer is intended as a guide to some of the basic issues surrounding water management from a climate change perspective. It includes information on climate change impacts on various freshwater ecosystems as well as precipitation. Also addressed is how the assessment of vulnerability should distinguish between impacts assessment, which attempts to project future biophysical and ecological changes in a deterministic manner, and vulnerability assessment, which attempts to combine an assessment of future suites of change with an assessment of the resilience of ecosystems and management institutions. subject: water management subject: climate change subject: water Security subject: climate adaptation rights: Public rights: Public Domain type: Text format: 36 P.: col.ill. format: Text identifier: url: http://www.worldwildlife.org/climate/Publications/WWFBinaryitem12534.pdf identifier: https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc226773/ identifier: ark: ark:/67531/metadc226773
