Freshwater Security (Freshwater 2012)

This Collaborative Research Action (CRA) was created to address two main themes:  
  • Identification and characterization of the interactions between natural processes and human practices that govern water budgeting in selected regions.
  • Development of approaches that support the evolution of resilient communities/regions through improved seasonal forecasting of droughts, taking into account natural and socio-economic drivers
The CRA was launched in 2012 and ended in 2018. It was supported by:
