Closing the climate adaptation gap for water supply utilities Yazar: Becher, O

“…This overarching aim is divided into three research objectives. 1) To develop a framework for analysing widespread, multi-hazard climate risks to water supply utilities. 2) To develop an approach for quantifying the costs and benefits of adaptation for both water supply utilities and their customers, including those in poverty. 3) To develop a global framework for quantifying drought risk at the utility scale, as a platform for comparing benefit-cost ratios (BCR) across multiple types of adaptation actions.…”
