Water Management Strategies for Addressing Long-Term Drought and Climate Uncertainty
This special issue belongs to the section "Water Resources Management, Policy and Governance".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global climate uncertainty and long-term drought are challenging water managers in the Western United States, and other arid regions of the world, to stretch a limited water supply among water user groups. Papers in the Special Issue will highlight research that documents strategies, tools, and approaches that have been successful in managing this uncertainty. Papers will be solicited from participants in the “Water Management Strategies for Addressing Long-Term Drought and Climate Uncertainty” conference, which took place in Salt Lake City in October 2015. Papers will also be accepted from other researchers and water professionals on related topics. Specific session topics at the meeting included: surface water management, groundwater management, conjunctive use, storage, payments for water-based ecosystem services, and demand-side management.
