      title = {Building Resilience for Uncertain Water Futures /},
      abstract = {This book describes the existential threats facing the  global water systems from population growth and economic  development, unsustainable use, environmental change, and  weak and fragmented governance. 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. Building Resilience for Uncertain Water Futures  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. This book will be a useful resource for  students and academics seeking a better understanding of  sustainable water use, water policy and water resources  management.},
