Content Type

is publication examines the critical issues surrounding water security (water shortage, water excess, inadequate water quality, the resilience of freshwater systems), providing a rationale for a risk-based approach and the management of trade-offs between water and other (sectoral and environmental) policies.

The report sets out a three-step process to ‘know’, ‘target’ and ‘manage’ water risks:

(1) appraising the risks,
(2) judging the tolerability and acceptability of risks and weighing risk-risk trade-offs, and
(3) calibrating appropriate responses.

The publication provides policy analysis and guidance on the use of market-based instruments and the complex links between water security and other policy objectives, such as food security, energy security, climate mitigation and biodiversity protection.
