This book describes the existential threats facing the global water systems from population growth and economic development unsustainable use environmental change and weak and fragmented governance. It argues that 'business-as-usual' water science and management cannot solve global water problems because today's water systems are increasingly complex and face uncertain future conditions. Instead a more holistic strategic agile and publically engaged process of water decision making is needed.Building Resilience for Uncertain Water Futures emphasises the importance of adaptation through a series of case studies of cities regions and communities that have experimented with anticipatory policy-making scenario development and public engagement. By shifting perspective from an emphasis on management to one of adaptation the book emphasizes the capacity to manage uncertainties the need for cross-sector coordination and mechanisms for engaging stakeholder with differing goals and conflict resolution.This book will be a useful resource for students and academics seeking a better understanding of sustainable water use water policy and water resources management.
