Advancing resilience theory and practice for water resource management

澳大利亚和全世界的水资源正面临着严重的压力，例如干旱和水需求。该项目旨在调查如何管理水和其他自然资源，以建立对这种压力的复原力。该项目希望在弹性理论方面取得进展，为弹性决策产生新的基于模型的工具。这些进展将在维多利亚州中北部的水资源管理模式中得到检验。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威胁的能力。这样的结果将有助于确保澳大利亚和世界范围内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.
