Disse's research includes numerous international publications on topics such as flood risk management, climate impact adaptation, and sustainable water resources management. [5] In recent years, Prof. Disse has been working on near-natural adaptation to climatic extremes (droughts and floods) through ecological water retention measures in the ...
One of the biggest concerns for water-based resources in the future is the sustainability of the current and future water resource allocation. Sustainable Development Goal 6 has a target related to water resources management: "Target 6.5: By 2030, implement integrated water resources management at all levels, including through transboundary ...
In the industrial world demand management has slowed absolute usage rates but increasingly water is being transported over vast distances from water-rich natural areas to population-dense urban areas and energy-hungry desalination is becoming more widely used. Greater emphasis is now being placed on the improved management of blue (harvestable ...
Water resource policy varies by region and is dependent on water availability or scarcity, the condition of aquatic systems, and regional needs for water. [5] Since water basins do not align with national borders, water resource policy is also determined by international agreements, also known as hydropolitics. [6]
An additional strategy to water conservation is practicing sustainable methods of utilizing groundwater resources. [8] Groundwater flows due to gravity and eventually discharges into streams. [ 9 ] Excess pumping of groundwater leads to a decrease in groundwater levels and if continued it can exhaust the resource. [ 8 ]
