Researchers propose new framework for river basin water management
IIASA researchers and partners published a study in Environmental Research Letters proposing a new framework to guide water management at the river basin level.
Global limits applied locally
Human activity and climate change are disrupting the predictability of the water cycle. The existing Global Water Planetary Boundary defines conditions needed to maintain a stable system. Scientists now want to operationalize these global limits for specific river basins.
Actionable strategies for planners
The current framework highlights human impacts but lacks actionable strategies for implementation. The new approach aims to provide guidance where local planning occurs. This shift allows society to thrive without destabilizing the Earth system.
