Summary
This book takes stock of how climate change is impacting water security, across diverse socio-ecological zones and river basins in the region. It shows how interactions between climate, society, environment, and hydrology are exacerbating water insecurity. The book showcases emerging operational, management and policy responses, highlighting contextual lessons for securing the regions water future under changing climate. Chapters are written by researchers and practitioners engaged in a variety of socio-ecological zones, such as Himalayan springs, coastal cities, deltas, dry zones, wetlands, and Pacific islands, plus basin-scale analysis of the Yangtze, Murray-Darling and Lower Mekong. Through intersectoral analysis and a risk-focused approach, this book makes an important contribution to water management and climate resilience in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
