In most countries, climate change leads to both an increased flood risk and an increasing prevalence of drought. Basic systems for watershed protection, water management, flood management will be required to make countries and communities more resilient.

Specific areas:

• • The need for improved data systems for water management and use.
  • The need to find solutions to enhance water retention, storage, usage, efficiencies and distribution.
  • Adopting technologies for efficient water management in agriculture.
  • Innovative approaches and technologies to incentivize and enhance people’s participation in water management.
