IWRM a Tool for Adaptation to Climate Change

These training materials are intended to increase our understanding about climate change and to explore what we can do now. There are actions that can be taken to prepare for a more variable climate and we can make a case to our policy makers to prepare for change. The most important immediate action concerns the way we manage our water resources. Improving our management of water today will prepare us to adapt tomorrow. Improved understanding of our water resources will allow more efficient and flexible allocation systems and better investment in infrastructure, both to improve access to water and reduce risks from climate change. We can act now and these training materials can help us to identify those actions. Other materials are available from Cap-Net that cover more specific issues of climate change, such as hydro-climatic disasters, urban flood management and community management of floods.
