Climate change is leading to changing patterns of precipitation and increasingly extreme global weather. There is an urgent need to synthesize our current knowledge on climate risks to water security, which in turn is fundamental for achieving sustainable water management. Climate Risk and Sustainable Water Management discusses hydrological extremes, climate variability, climate impact assessment, risk analysis, and hydrological modelling. It provides a comprehensive interdisciplinary exploration of climate risks to water security, helping to guide sustainable water management in a changing and uncertain future. The relevant theory is accessibly explained using examples throughout, helping readers to apply the knowledge learned to their own situations and challenges. This textbook is especially valuable to students of hydrology, resource management, climate change, and geography, as well as a reference textbook for researchers, civil and environmental engineers, and water management professionals concerned with water-related hazards, water cycles, and climate change.

"This edited collection focuses on theoretical and applied observations about how experts, advocates, and institutions make climate change information accessible to different audiences. Communicating about Climate Change concentrates on three key elements of climate change communication - access, relevance, and understandability - to provide an understanding of how these elements allow multiple groups of stakeholders to act on the information to build resilience. Featuring contributions from a wide range of scholars from across different disciplines, the book explores a multitude of different scenarios and communication methods, including social media; public opinion surveys; participatory mapping; and video. Overall, climate change communication is addressed from four different perspectives: communicating with the public and for public policy; communication for stakeholder engagement; organizational, institutional, and risk communication; and crisis and emergency communication. With each chapter focussing on implications and applications for practice, this book will be of great interest to students and researchers of climate change and environmental communication, as well as practitioners interested in understanding how to communicate climate change and related issues to better engage stakeholders"--
