Limited water availability, population growth, and climate change have resulted in freshwater crises many countries. Jordan's situation is emblematic, compounded by conflict-induced shocks. Integrating knowledge across hydrology, climatology, agriculture, political science, geography, economics, we present the Jordan Water Model, a nationwide coupled human-natural-engineered systems model that used to evaluate security under socioeconomic changes. The complex simulates trajectory of system,...
Abstract Scarce and unreliable urban water supply in many countries has caused municipal users to rely on transfers from rural wells via unregulated markets. Assessments of this pervasive re-allocation institution its impacts aquifers, consumer equity affordability are lacking. We present a rigorous coupled human–natural system analysis rural-to-urban tanker market demand Jordan, quintessential example nation relying heavily such markets, fed by predominantly illegal abstractions. Employing...
Unreliable and unequal public water supply already affects around one billion urban residents the world. In many cities, informal markets have emerged to fill gaps by delivering via tanker trucks, depleting scarce rural groundwater sources. A quintessential example of this can be found in highly water-scarce country Jordan. Jordan, intermittent rapid growth led a surge uncontrolled abstractions pervasive illegal markets. Here, we use rigorous coupled human-natural systems model assess range...
Abstract. Several alternatives have been proposed to shift the paradigms of water management under uncertainty from predictive decision-centric. An often mentioned tool is stress-test response surface; mapping system performance a large sample future hydro-climatic conditions. Dividing this exposure space between success and failure requires clear targets. In practice, however, stakeholders decision-makers may be confronted with ambiguous objectives for which there are no clearly-defined...

An often-mentioned tool is stress-test response surface, mapping system performance a large sample future hydro-climatic conditions. Dividing this exposure space between acceptable and unacceptable states requires criterion defined by threshold.

An often-mentioned tool is response surface mapping system performance with a large sample future hydroclimatic conditions through stress test. Dividing this exposure space between acceptable and unacceptable states requires criterion defined by threshold.

We would like to thank the referee for this thorough review."Lachaut and Tilmant introduce concept of "possibilistic surfaces" describe conditions under which success or failure a water resources system is possible, where regions "possibility" are defined in three different ways: 1) using logistic regression defining as predicts C1
This paper develops new approaches for bottom-up decision making considering joint uncertainties in the system response surface and performance target.Three methods are proposed: a fuzzy logistic regression, an analytical approximation, convex hull method.A case study of flood risk Canada is used to illustrate C1 HESSD
