Grant
5427 - Advancing Actionable Climate Resilience Metrics for Water Supply Planning
Grant Information
Project Objectives
- Catalog existing performance metrics that consistently drive water utility operational and capital decisions, assess their applicability to support future resilience-based decision making under nonstationary climate conditions, and identify adjustments or alternative metrics needed to support forward-looking, resilience-based decision making for water utilities.
- Determine the appropriate level of climate resilience analysis needed to evaluate and apply climate resilience metrics, with requirements scaled based on metric sensitivity to climate change, decision context, and utility characteristics.
- Develop guidance to integrate climate resilience metrics into planning and decision processes.
