2030年水资源小组、联合国和世界经济论坛最近对这些专题进行的分析证明,缺水和水质受损的社会风险受到了相当大的关注。火灾对预测的水资源短缺和水质下降有什么影响?人类的饮用水供应是这次勘探的重点,来自几种土地覆盖类型,包括森林、草原和泥炭地,它们容易着火。在过去的二十年里,大火影响了丹佛(CO)和其他美国西南部城市以及悉尼、堪培拉、阿德莱德和墨尔本等四个澳大利亚主要城市的供水集水区。在同一时期,若干(尽管不是全部)国家、区域和全球水评估已将火灾纳入对影响供水的风险的评估。这次讨论的目的是探讨火、水和社会的关系,希望更明确地了解火对供水的影响将鼓励将火纳入未来的供水评估,纳入热地理概念框架,并纳入针对水的复原力的规划工作。本文是《火与人类的互动》专题的一部分。
The societal risks of water scarcity and water-quality impairment have received considerable attention, evidenced by recent analyses of these topics by the 2030 Water Resources Group, the United Nations and the World Economic Forum. What are the effects of fire on the predicted water scarcity and declines in water quality? Drinking water supplies for humans, the emphasis of this exploration, are derived from several land cover types, including forests, grasslands and peatlands, which are vulnerable to fire. In the last two decades, fires have affected the water supply catchments of Denver (CO) and other southwestern US cities, and four major Australian cities including Sydney, Canberra, Adelaide and Melbourne. In the same time period, several, though not all, national, regional and global water assessments have included fire in evaluations of the risks that affect water supplies. The objective of this discussion is to explore the nexus of fire, water and society with the hope that a more explicit understanding of fire effects on water supplies will encourage the incorporation of fire into future assessments of water supplies, into the pyrogeography conceptual framework and into planning efforts directed at water resiliency. This article is part of the themed issue ‘The interaction of fire and mankind’.
