Government agencies and water utilities may be underestimating how many households are struggling to pay their water bills. A new approach developed by Stanford scholars could help identify and aid those most at risk. Read more ➡️ https://t.co/wGXhYvbKNo

New paper with @SFletcherH2O and @WE3Lab ! Many studies examine how changing climate impacts water planning in drought-prone regions, but the impacts of policy and technology innovations are less understood.

In addition to climate change, technology, and policy innovation can impact long-term water system cost, and planning strategies Quantifying system-level value of innovation aids in identifying h...

Methodologically, by contrasting climates from different basin in a single systems model, our approach aims to build "middle-range" theory, developing general insight for a class of case studies 4/6

It has been long known that low frequency climate variability drives the need for large water storage infrastructure. However, we find that, if climate oscillation signals are monitored and planners adapt in response, addressing low frequency variability can be less costly 3/6

We extract contrasting climate oscillations from river basins in Africa ranging from years to decades and compare their impacts on least-cost reliable water supply augmentation planning in a stylized systems model, using varying degrees of adaptive planning 2/6
