Advances in Water Management Under Climate Change
暫譯: 氣候變遷下的水資源管理進展

由於人口增加、可耕地減少以及水資源日益短缺，優化可用資源的使用變得至關重要。氣候變化正在全球範圍內發生，但其影響可能是地方性或區域特定的，包括局部流域管理。為了減少這些影響，各國政府和環保機構鼓勵採用「氣候智慧型」農業技術，這些技術涉及實施計劃、方案和項目，以維持和增強流域的可持續性。自然生態系統在其變化的狀態下，一直被依賴以支持農業生產和生態系統服務的持續性，例如洪水和侵蝕控制、水質調節、河流流量調節、微氣候調節以及各種形式的生物多樣性。根據聯合國糧食及農業組織的報告，採用這些可持續水資源管理實踐已經實現了水和能源的節約，減少了碳排放，降低了侵蝕，增加了土壤中的有機物含量和生物活性，提高了作物的水資源可用性，從而增強了抗旱能力，改善了地下水補給，並減少了氣候變化所帶來的天氣變異影響。《氣候變化下的水資源管理進展》探討了所有這些問題並提供了可持續性的最佳實踐。
