Climate changes impact on water resources in many ways: more or less precipitation, varying precipitation intensities and increased variation in water supplies. DHI offers policy solutions to climate change impacts, including assessing ‘water footprints’, risk assessment and adaptive management strategies, including social and economic impact assessment of adaptation strategies.
