ReCoVER-BRIM Workshop

Workshop: The influence of weather and climate variability on water resources management

This was a joint Workshop between ReCoVER and BRIM (Building Resilience into Risk Management).

23rd - 24th January 2017, Exeter.

The aim of the workshop was to explore how weather/climate variability will shape water resources management in the long term and identify themes for research that could help develop management strategies to better cope with the variability in means and extremes. For example, we will explore some of the challenges that arise from:

• Understanding weather/climate variability and climatic risk on water resources management.

• Relations between weather variability and fluctuations in water supply capacity and water demand.

• Longer-term challenges of climate change on meeting water demand.

• Developing and using climate forecasts for water infrastructure planning and management.

• Developing resilient water supply to weather/climate variability.
