The Perspective of Climate Adaptation of Water Security

Abstract

Climate change is likely to have a large impact on water management, there is a need to reconsider the assumption of stationarity in climate and hydrology. The magnitude of the expected changes in climatic and hydrological variables is temporally and spatially uncertain. Their uncertainty poses a set of new and additional challenges for water managers on how to cope with these uncertainties in planning, design and operation to enhance future water security. The author reflects of this article, mainly is to description of the main impacts of climate change on water and the needs for adaption. Subsequently, different perspectives on the responses to the impacts are discussed.
