MANAGING WATER IN SOCIO-ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS Sample Clauses

MANAGING WATER IN SOCIO-ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS. TOOLS ON THE TABLE The mission of water resources management and planning is to sustainably reconcile multiple demands and water supplies, which can be limited and variable in time and space. In many instances, management has focused on the supply side, with the development of new water sources to cover increasing demands. A few decades ago, demand management started taking an equally important focus in water resources management, with the development of mechanisms and incentives to cover the same necessities with less water. Water resources are also influenced by decisions in many other sectors to which management is intrinsically linked, such as land use planning and land cover change. The notion of how much water supply can be used, and the natural ecosystems altered, without causing the environment to change or lose its existing functionality is at the core of the water management question. However, once we have taken the water out of the environment, we must also understand how we combine it with labor, energy and other resources to produce goods for well-being, and how we trade and consume these goods that have a specific water footprint. By the same rule, these goods also have an ecological footprint (botanic, biotic, biodiversity footprints as well as an ecosystem services footprint), a land cover footprint and thus a climate footprint. This section presents different disciplines and fields of study relevant to water management that can be interconnected together to provide a more meaningful and multi-faceted analysis to inform water resources management, policy, planning and use.
