The United Nations Water Conference 2023 highlighted the need for concrete actions to boost integrated water resources management achieving Sustainable Development Goals and called strategies enhance cooperation among stakeholders. Technical between countries institutions in transboundary systems, e.g., on environmental data collection, is an effective way promote international diplomacy prevent disputes riparian states. Still, establishing collaborations inform bilateral dialogues...
<p class="Resumen">La incorporación del cambio climático a la planificación hidrológica no es tarea sencilla, dada alta incertidumbre asociada. En España, actualmente se consideran los escenarios futuros aplicando un coeficiente de reducción único las series históricas aportaciones. El presente artículo analiza cuestión para el Sistema Explotación Júcar, luz últimos (AR5) y comparando resultados tres modelos hidrológicos conceptuales. De deduce que disminución precipitación aumento...
Climate variability plays a crucial role in the annual fluctuations of crop yields, posing substantial threat to food security. Maize, main cereal sub-Saharan Africa, has shown varied yield trends during increasingly warmer growing seasons. Here we explore how sub-seasonal dry-wet spell patterns contribute this variability, considering spatial heterogeneity responses, map weather-related risks at regional level. Our results show that shifts specific across growth stages influence maize...
Abstract Climate change is challenging the conventional approaches for water systems planning. Two main are commonly implemented in design of climate adaptation plans: impact-oriented top-down and vulnerability-oriented bottom-up approaches. In order to overcome shortcomings both take advantage their strengths, we propose an integrative methodology define strategies at basin scale, identifying combining potential changes demand supply infrastructure along with variability change. The impact...
&lt;p&gt;In many regions of the world, such as in Southern Mediterranean area, water management has been challenging for long; however, climate change could act an amplification factor and trigger unprecedented situation. Several approaches have proposed design adaptation strategies resources systems. Although top-down traditionally preferred, several authors pointed out their relative lack success when it comes to decision making. On other hand, participative bottom-up advantage...
&lt;p&gt;Multipurpose water systems are subject to complex trade-offs among competing uses, which could eventually have a significant potential for conflict. Hence these interlinkages should be properly identified estimate the impact of changing allocation rules and avoid trigger undesirable outcomes. Concretely, forecast-based requires assess outputs hydrometeorological forecasting within sectoral context (e.g. urban, agriculture, energy) contrast it with current statu-quo. In this...
