Managing Water Resources in the West Under Conditions of Climate Uncertainty Proceedings of a Colloquium November 14-16, 1990 Scottsdale, Arizona

The question of whether the earth's climate is changing in some significant human-induced way remains a matter of much debate. But the fact that climate is variable over time is well known. These two elements of climatic uncertainty affect water resources planning and management in the American West. Managing Water Resources in the West Under Conditions of Climate Uncertaintyexamines the scientific basis for predictions of climate change, the implications of climate uncertainty for water resources management, and the management options available for responding to climate variability and potential climate change.National Research Council Staff is the author of 'Managing Water Resources in the West Under Conditions of Climate Uncertainty Proceedings of a Colloquium November 14-16, 1990 Scottsdale, Arizona' with ISBN 9780309046770 and ISBN 0309046777.
