Adapting to water scarcity and changing climate Presented at University of Arizona Environmental Summit, 22 April 2009.

Adapting to water scarcity and changing climate Christopher Scott Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy, and Dept. of Geography & Regional Development

Growing demand, shrinking supplies Expanding, thirsty cities Threatened ecosystems Irrigation for food security Water to generate power Amenity value, recreation Drought, early runoff Global & regional warming Urban heat island Groundwater depletion Fewer (no?) “next buckets”

Adapt while mitigating climate & societal drivers Interdisciplinary, applied research on: Agriculture – urban water transfers: potential & limits Urban heat island: landscaping water demand & cooling Water reuse, greywater, water harvesting: public choice, regulation, and technology Water-energy nexus: adaptation vs. mitigation tradeoffs Transboundary waters: US-Mexico & global partnerships Partners: NOAA, USGS, ASU, NGOs, researchers and agencies in Mexico, India, Ghana, and Ethiopia Christopher Scott
