Securing a reliable water supply—critical for achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—requires understanding of the relation between finite water resources, climate variability\/change, and various elements of sustainability. \u003ci\u003eWater, Climate Change, and Sustainability\u003c\/i\u003e is a timely and in-depth examination of the concept of sustainability as it relates to water resources management in the context of climate change risks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing contributions by global authors, this edited volume is organized into three sections: Sustainability Concepts; Sustainability Approaches, Tools, and Techniques; and Sustainability in Practice. Detailed chapters describe the linkage between water and sustainable development, highlight the development and use of new measuring and reporting methods, and discuss the implementation of sustainability concepts in various water use sectors. Topics include localizing and mainstreaming global water sustainability initiatives, resilient water infrastructure for poverty reduction, urban water security for sustainable cities, climate actions and challenges for sustainable ecosystem services, and more.
