This case study draws on fieldwork in two communities in Fiji that participated in the 2002–05 Capacity Building to Enable the Development of Adaptation Measures in Pacific Island Countries (CBDAMPIC) project, one of the first adaptation projects in the

The flooding in Houston causes concern for public health. Overflowing water reservoirs and possible problems at treatment plants might result in water shortages, while raw sewage and the release of dangerous chemicals can result in water contamination. This can be mitigated through adequate infrastructure and nonstructural tools such as zoning and flood warnings.

This five-year strategic plan (NICCP17-22) aims to coordinate resource mobilization and implementation of priority-targeted cholera prevention and control interventions across all levels (national, district, and community) in Uganda.

Water security is a central component of long-term resilience as the climate changes. In India, the Dam Rehabilitation and Improvement Project (DRIP) is a vital component for safeguarding water security, with resilience against seismic risk positioned as a main focus area. New recommendations have been formulated for reducing such risk.

An initiative in China aims to address groundwater over-extraction, waterway degradation, and urban flooding as a result of urban sprawl by using permeable surfaces and green infrastructure. The project would also allow for absorption and re-usage of 70% of stormwater in most urban areas, enhancing water supply security.

Water usage is difficult to monitor in times of restriction, as the usage specifications first come with the bill once a month. Smart metering measures report water usage by the minute, with the objective of helping people to conserve water and creating awareness of water consumption.

The purpose of this report is to capture and document some interesting climate change adaption technologies that have already been developed and are being put in use in different parts of Bangladesh by different organisations, addressing a knowledge gap

A new infographic report from CDP shows the first and most comprehensive dataset produced to date of global water action by cities and companies. The dataset indicates which regions are most vulnerable to risks related to water supply as well as water impacts such as loss of production. The report shows the importance of water management for cities.
