Adapting Urban Water Systems to Climate Change: A handbook for decision makers at the local level

Abstract

This handbook on adaptation of urban water systems to climate change is an initiative of the SWITCH project and the result of collaboration between ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, the International Water Association (IWA) and the UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education. It draws on the research and findings from the SWITCH and PREPARED EU Framework Programme projects. This handbook is a “living” document that is envisaged to be updated yearly with new information and experiences and is complemented by a website with additional information (www.adaptationhandbook.org).
