Summary

This paper proposes a deep uncertainty approach to designing resilient water systems in the context of climate change and hydrological variability. The work likely synthesises principles from adaptive management and decision-making under uncertainty to develop design strategies that do not rely on stationary assumptions about future water availability. The contribution appears methodological, offering practitioners a structured approach to resilience in water governance.

Regional applicability

The abstract is unavailable; transferability to United Kingdom water systems would depend on the specific case studies, climate zones, and policy frameworks discussed. UK water companies and catchment partnerships increasingly face deep uncertainty in precipitation and drought patterns, making such frameworks potentially relevant to domestic water security and flood resilience planning.

Key measures

Framework components for resilience design; uncertainty characterisation methods; system robustness metrics (inferred)

Outcomes reported

The paper likely presents a framework or methodology for designing water systems that can withstand deep uncertainty and climate variability. It appears to address resilience principles in water infrastructure and management under conditions of uncertain future conditions.
