Regional Water Security Amid Climate Change

An assessment of cross-border water-security risks and pathways for regional cooperation to manage them.

Demonstration content — studies, names and issues are existing interface specimens, not the institute’s published record.

Abstract

This paper studies regional water security where climate change meets existing water-sharing agreements, and estimates the gap between projected demand and renewable resources through 2040. It shows that current management tools were designed for a more stable climate, and that irrigation efficiency alone cannot close the gap without new negotiated arrangements. It recommends three workable regional cooperation instruments to adopt before critical stress points are reached.
