Advancing resilience theory and practice for water resource management

澳大利亚和全世界的水资源都面临着严重的压力，例如干旱和水需求。该项目旨在研究如何管理水和其他自然资源，以建立对这种压力的复原力。该项目预计将在弹性理论方面取得进展，为弹性决策提供新的基于模型的工具。这些进展将在维多利亚中北部的一个水资源管理模型中得到检验。该项目的预期成果包括提高决策者应对水和其他自然资源所面临威胁的能力。这些成果将有助于确保澳大利亚和全球日益紧张的自然资源的可持续性。

Water resources in Australia and worldwide are under severe stress, for example from drought and water demand. This project aims to investigate how water and other natural resources can be managed to build resilience to such stresses. The project expects to develop advances in resilience theory that generate new model-based tools for resilient decision-making. These advances will be tested in a model of water resource management in north-central Victoria. Expected outcomes of the project include increased decision-maker capability to respond to threats to water and other natural resources. Such outcomes will help ensure the sustainability of increasingly highly stressed natural resources in Australia and worldwide.
