Abstract:
The study brought together evidence from projections on climate change, trends in technology application, and developing knowledge about the adaptability and resilience of drinking water and sanitation. While the reports emanating from this study focus on issues related to the provision of water and sanitation services, installing services with a greater resilience to the impacts of climate change will rely in turn on improved management of water resources. Water resources management in this context has been extensively discussed, for example in the technical paper on water of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
