Key Vulnerabilities

• Agriculture/Food Security
• Coastal Zones and Marine Ecosystems

Potential Adaptation Measures

Water Resources

• Increase water supply, e.g. by using groundwater, building reservoirs, improving or stabilizing watershed management, desalination
• Decrease water demands, e.g. by increasing efficiency, reducing water losses, water recycling, changing irrigation practices
• Develop and introduce flood and drought monitoring and control system
• Improve or develop water management
• Alter system operating rules, e.g.
