Part 2 - Water Services Provision and Climate Change Adaptation
Journal Title: International Journal of Environment and Climate Change - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
The uptake of innovative technical solutions and water services delivery models to address climate change uncertainties has been hampered by the fragmented nature of policies and the absence of an environment that recognises and then addresses the inherent complexity of the diverse stakeholder base involved in the provision and consumption of water services. Understanding the wider context and end user acceptability of innovations has the potential to improve the uptake and subsequent impact of solutions to the pressure facing the provision of water services, particularly when set against the backdrop of climate change. This special issue focuses on the wider aspects which may contribute towards the delivery of sustainable water management and covers a range of topics including: user attitudes and perceptions to water demand management measures; approaches to understanding and influencing water end users, water-energy linkages and the interactions between community and water service delivery modes. We hope readers will find the collection of presented papers informative, with them in turn contributing towards the development of new areas of research that lead to the development of relevant and impactful solutions. We would like to thank all contributing authors for their hard work and patience in the production of this special issue.
