Climate Change and the Demand for Water Revisited - WT01001
|
Description
The Climate Change and the Demand for Water Revisted (CCDeW) project revists and updates an earlier water resources demand study (benchmark study by Herrington, 1996). The CCDeW project evaluates the impacts of climate change on water demand emerging from:
1) agriculture and horticulture
2) industry and commerce
3) domestic and leisure uses
4) recreational uses
The study;
- Explores the dynamics of water demand, using diagnostic statistics and expert opinion.
- Investigates the historical sensitivity of water demand to climatic variations.
- Compares the impacts under current scenarios.
- Includes different non-climatic reference scenarios.
- Evaluates key uncertainties, based on a range of socio-economic and climate scenarios and uncertainty in the underlying assumptions.
- Includes stakeholders and water experts in the design and review of the analysis.
