This is exacerbated by the uncertainty of future rainfall, which is never guaranteed, and reliance is placed on modelling using historic data. While weather has always been variable, climate has been generally reliable. With anthropogenic activity causing changes in climate, the validity of modelling based on history is currently not fully trusted. Unless the storage capacity is sufficient to carry through numerous seasons of poor rainfall, even with water restrictions to match demand and supply in times of depleted rainfall, the risk of reservoirs running dry remains a threat.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | | 关键词 | Demand management; Diversified water resources; Resilience; Technical communication; Water supply planni | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-78889-6 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-78891-9 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-78889-6 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
