It argues that ‘business-as-usual’ water science and management cannot solve global water problems because today’s water systems are increasingly complex and face uncertain future conditions. Instead, a more holistic, strategic, agile and publically engaged process of water decision making is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBuilding Resilience for Uncertain Water Futures\u003c\/i\u003e emphasises the importance of adaptation through a series of case studies of cities, regions, and communities that have experimented with anticipatory policy-making, scenario development, and public engagement. By shifting perspective from an emphasis on management to one of adaptation, the book emphasizes the capacity to manage uncertainties, the need for cross-sector coordination, and mechanisms for engaging stakeholder with differing goals and conflict resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be a useful resource for students and academics seeking a better understanding of sustainable water use, water policy and water resources management. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-04-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319712338\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-71234-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 213\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47525088723084,"sku":"9783319712338","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319712338.jpg?v=1776019728","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319712338","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
