Water security: putting the concept into practice

The paper debates that water security can never be fully achieved, because ever-changing physical and economic conditions will require the continuous adaptation of water systems and behaviors in order to meet the growing demands and changing climatological conditions. The authors suggest two approaches to increasing water security: the developmental approach seeking to increase water security over time and the risk-based approach focusing on managing risks and reducing vulnerabilities resulting from climate variability and water-related disasters.
