TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that there are two counterintuitive dynamics that should be considered when considering the expansion of reservoirs to cope with droughts and water shortages in many places around the world.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an integrated approach to managing and allocating water resources, by involving all actors and stakeholders, and considering how water resources link different sectors of society.

TL;DR: Water resource management involves public investments with long-ranging impacts that traditional prediction approaches cannot address as mentioned in this paper, and these are increasingly being critiqued because (1) there is an...

TL;DR: This example model couples hydrological and human systems by linking the rate of demand decreases to the past reliability to compare standard operating policy (SOP) with hedging policy (HP), and shows that reservoir storage acts both as a buffer for variability and as a delay triggering oscillations around a sustainable level of demand.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that infrastructure are increasingly being recognized as too rigid to quickly adapt to a changing climate and a non-stationary future, and that this rigidness poses risks to infrastructure service delivery and p...
