Stockholm International Water Week Protocol on Water and Health as a Change Management Tool Conclusion A forward looking planning instrument To protect human health Against present and future risks In an integrated manner Throughout the entire warer cycle 9

Stockholm International Water Week Protocol on Water and Health as a Change Management Tool 10 River flow Water-stressed regions in S Europe are projected to be particularly exposed to reductions in water resources due to climate change. This will lead to increased competition for available water resources. Flood frequency will increase in large parts in Europe

Stockholm International Water Week Protocol on Water and Health as a Change Management Tool 11 Freshwater and biodiversity Physical change –Higher temperature, lower oxygen content –Stable vertical stratification –Eutrophication, change in timing of algal blooms and increase of harmful algal bloom –Alteration to habitats and distribution of aquatic organisms Chemical change Biological change
