Comprehensive Water Risk Management

Session ID#: 159477

Session Description:
Water is perhaps greatest resource on the planet. U.S. economic and strategic wellbeing is directly related to the management of water resources as well as the management of risk involving extreme water events. A critical element of effective water management is the understanding of the likely outcomes of alternative management strategies, particularly under the pressures caused by future environmental and human changes. The challenges mandate the development of powerful capabilities to manage water availability and quality, and to forecast and mitigate water-related hazards. Advancing such capabilities requires advances in tools for forecasting, and research to identify and resolve gaps that lead to uncertainties in forecast outcomes. This session seeks submissions on the state of water policy as well as water research being conducted to solve the problems of today and of the future to Mitigate and adapt to climate change, support resilient communities and to ensure environmental sustainability and resilience.
