Adapting Water to a Changing Climate, WWF

DESCRIPTION

Freshwater ecosystems differ in their relative vulnerability to climate change. For instance, large rivers will respond less rapidly than small streams exposed to the same types and rate of climate change. Thus, vulnerability to significant hydrological impacts should be carefully assessed, as well as the adaptation potential of the human and natural systems dependent on a particular set of hydrological conditions. Existing water infrastructure should be carefully managed to facilitate social and ecological adaptation.
