Advancements in Integrated Assessment of Water Availability
Convener: Matthew Miller | Co-conveners: Olivia MillerECSECS, Caroline van Bers
Quantifying and understanding the impacts of changing water availability across space and time is critically important for ensuring that there is enough water of suitable quality to meet human and ecosystem demands now and in the future. This session invites papers that explore spatial and temporal variability in water supply and demand, identify the factors driving this variability, and assess the vulnerability and resilience of human populations and ecosystems to water shortages and degradation of water quality across scales ranging from local to regional to continental. Studies applying integrated modeling approaches to quantify and couple supply and demand in support of water management are especially encouraged. Also of interest are integrated assessment methods including vulnerability assessment, scenario analysis, indicators, and the water footprint to name a few. In addition, we welcome submissions that present novel approaches for projecting future water supply and demand in the context of changing climate, land use, population growth, and other potential drivers of change.
