This interdisciplinary project focuses in two large watersheds in Brazil – the Jaguaribe Valley in Ceará, and the Paraíba Valley in São Paulo. The objectives are to analyze current and future drought risk for the diverse stakeholders and to propose adaptive management guidelines to reduce vulnerability to climate change and diminishing water availability. The project is led by researchers at the Federal University of Ceará in collaboration with hydrologists, climatologists, agronomists, and demographers from Brazilian, US, and German Universities. Our contributions include analyses that assess current conditions and the development of future scenarios related to: a) differential vulnerabilities among populations and economic sectors; b) organizational components of watershed management and the diverse water governance institutions; c) how water ethics are implicated in defining water problems and in management decisions.
