Preserving Our Rivers: Environmental Water Use In A Changing Climate

Grant number: DE180100550 | Funding period: 2018 - 2022

Active

Abstract

This project aims to develop an 'active management' tool to improve the robustness and transparency of environmental water management. Managing Government investment on environmental water requires decisions on when and where to use water, involving complex trade-offs between competing benefits. This project will develop a tool to address shortcomings in currently available approaches based on the assumption of stationary climate, leading to more environmental benefit for less water, and greater resilience in the face of a changing climate.
