BWMA Models and Tools Analysis - Adaptation to climate events

 

Recommendations / guidelines for adaptations strategies in the water sector

• The awareness to CC impact should be fostered

• Water resource systems have to be adapted to CC even the uncertainty in prediction is large

• The climate change impact to the flood should be considered by adapting the design values of flood protection measures

Realisation of the solution

Realisation of flood protection Status : Insufficient flood protection under CC

• Guidelines and program for flood protection (e.g. Action Program 2020)

• Hydrological / hydrodynamic modelling of CC Impact

• Risk and benefits analysis

• Advanced communication strategies (Tools for ...)

• Decision making (Tools for ...)

=> Agreed adaptations of plannings by all stakeholder

The role and aim of the model

• The model will be used in two combined communication processes:

1. Communication with the decision makers (Round table)

2. Communication with the stakeholders

• Contribution of the model to better understanding of adaptation to CC

• Cost-Benefit Analysis in the approach as part of the communication process to determine the decision

The communication process

• Survey of stakeholder groups

• Interviews before and after implementation of communication process

• Meetings, workshops

• Information distributed by internet, newspapers, local TV and radio.

=>Additional Outcome: Identification of needs for improved DSS and models
