Freshwater Security (Freshwater)
This Collaborative Research Action (CRA) was created to address two main themes:
- Identification and characterization of the interactions between natural processes and human practices that govern water budgeting in selected regions.
- Development of approaches that support the evolution of resilient communities/regions through improved seasonal forecasting of droughts, taking into account natural and socio-economic drivers
This CRA was supported by ANR, CSIRO, DFG, ESRC, FAPESP, NERC, NRF, NSERC, and NSF.
Six projects were selected:
| DrIVER | Drought Impacts: Vulnerability Thresholds in Monitoring and Early-Research |
| FuturAgua | Enhancing Adaptation and Resilience to Drought in Dry Tropical Social-Ecological Systems: The Guanacaste, Costa Rica Example |
| JWP | Integrated Analysis of Freshwater Resources Sustainability in Jordan |
| XINGU | Integrating Land Use Planning and Water Governance in Amazonia: Towards Improved Freshwater Security in the Agricultural Frontier of Mato Grosso |
| TLSCC | Maintaining Productivity and Incomes in the Tonle Sap Fishery in the Face of Climate Change |
| SAHEWS | Southern Africa’s Hydro-Economy and Water Security |
