The planet is warming, and many scientists agree
that the rise in temperature is human-made. However,
science has not developed a model to predict the effects
of increasing temperatures. Still, water utilities can and
must plan for the uncertainties of climate change and
its effects on water supplies and operations.
The findings of a comprehensive case study, conducted
by the East Bay Municipal Utility District in
California on strategies to mitigate and adapt to climate
changes, are presented in this article.
Water utilities must include climate change in
water supply availability and resource planning
and can use this case study as a framework. The
information presented in this article is applicable to
long-term water supply planning and can assist with
decision-making. Includes 3 references.
