Drought - past and future; ANUWI Conference 2008

This conference is the first stage of The Climate Risk Project, an international study funded by the ANU Water Initiative (ANUWI) that will compare drought management and planning for climate change in the world's southern and northern temperate zones - southern Australia, southern Africa, southwest US, the Mediterranean rim (Portugal, Spain and Turkey), northern China and South America. The conference will present some of the work relevant to the Australian region and discuss the themes to be investigated in the larger project.
