River models have long been used to estimate water in hard-to-reach or remote areas. New study from UMass Amherst shows the math can be off—way off.
A global study mapped 35 years of river changes, finding 44% of large rivers decreasing in flow and 17% of small rivers increasing. Impacts include flooding, freshwater loss, and hydropower challenges.
A new global assessment of scientific literature led by researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst finds that nature-based solutions (NbS) are an economically effective method to mitigate risks.
Working closely with local conservation group, researchers develop new model to predict climate-change driven saltwater intrusion that is transferable to other vulnerable coastal communities.
This study performs an economic efficiency and equity analysis of an Ecosystem-based DRR and resilience enhancement intervention in Indonesia using a Cost-Benefit Analysis to compare implementation costs with observed and future benefits.

Voluntary Commitments
The organization has no registered commitments.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
