Water and Society: Water Scarcity Impacts on Local Communities and Economies
Session ID#: 161895
Session Description:
As the frequency and severity of precipitation events are altered due to climate change, communities across the globe are experiencing new water availability dynamics. In response, academia, industry, and governments alike are racing to characterize how water security risk is altered from historical norms for their breadth of needs. Interdisciplinary research combining hydrology with social sciences, such as economics, business, and public policy, is necessary for tackling big societal questions.
This Water and Society session highlights interdisciplinary efforts to characterize the impacts of water scarcity on the local economy. Examples include environmental justice studies on the equity of water availability for tribal governments and strategies to understand projected future risk, either physical or financial, to local and minority businesses under climate change. In particular, we encourage work that utilizes Federal government data (e.g., NOAA climate data and Census demographic information) to characterize community-level effects from local changes in water availability.
