The effects of climate change are beginning to impact water
quantity and water quality across the globe. However, there is no
single action or strategy that any government can implement to
ensure a community is resilient to climate change-related extreme
weather events while also protecting the natural system. Instead,
Robert Brears argues, climate resilient water resources management
requires integrated, forward-thinking policies that are not only
adaptable to changing climatic conditions but also seek to maximise
economic and social welfare in an equitable manner while ensuring
the continued health of their ecosystems. This book addresses how
several levels of government in different geographical locations,
with varying climates, incomes, and lifestyles, have implemented a
variety of policies and technologies to ensure communities are
resilient to climatic risks, and how these policies preserve and
enhance the natural system and its associated ecosystem's health.
