Decision-making under Deep Uncertainty (DMDU) offers approaches to support robust, adaptive strategies for complex water resources decision-making. However, practical uptake of DMDU remains limited, partly due to fragmented access to resources and a lack of an inventory of available tools. This study introduces a comprehensive catalogue of tools and resources. Through a structured survey and expert elicitation, we identify 28 resources and 16 tools that support DMDU research and practice and classify them using an established DMDU taxonomy. Our analysis reveals a focus on introductory guidance on the theory and methods of DMDU application. Technical, method-specific resources for implementing existing frameworks remain limited. Our results identify tools that support all core DMDU components, but they also highlight persistent scalability challenges. The resulting online catalogue provides a foundation for expanding the use of DMDU in practice and is intended as a living, community-driven platform.
