“…Due to its classification as the driest continent on the planet, the Australia government has committed resources and infrastructure to improve the resiliency of communities to recover from droughts. Because of these persistent challenges with availability of water, Australia has implemented some of the world’s leading drought management and drought response plans (Mount et al 2016 ; Sayers et al 2017 ). Ongoing development and innovation in municipal infrastructure (e.g., urban rain gardens that filter and store water for irrigation or human use) are leading edge in response to community vulnerabilities to a dearth of available and accessible water resources.…”

Technology alone cannot address the challenges of how societies, communities, and individuals understand water accessibility, water management, and water consumption, particularly under extreme conditions like floods and droughts. At the community level, people are increasingly aware challenges related to responses to and impacts of extreme water events. This research begins with an assessment of social and political capacities of communities in two Commonwealth jurisdictions, Queensland, Australia and Saskatchewan, Canada, in response to major flooding events. The research further reviews how such capacities impact community engagement to address and mitigate risks associated with extreme water events and provides evidence of key gaps in skills, understanding, and agency for addressing impacts at the community level. Secondary data were collected using template analysis to elucidate challenges associated with education (formal and informal), social and political capacity, community ability to respond appropriately, and formal government responses to extreme water events in these two jurisdictions. The results indicate that enhanced community engagement alongside elements of an empowerment model can provide avenues for identifying and addressing community vulnerability to negative impacts of flood and drought.

Promoting Competitive Water Resource Use Efficiency at the Water‐Market Scale: An Intercooperative Demand Equilibrium‐Based Approach to Water Trading

Water rights law and corresponding markets exist to promote economic water resource use efficiency by permitting water rights holders to trade allocations. In some regions, hydrologic uncertainty drives annual assignment of per‐water right allocation values. Water rights holders, specifically those involved in agricultural production, may use collaborative water resource decision making to mitigate allocation uncertainty and promote economic and social efficiency. Such is the case in semi‐arid North Chile, where interactions between representative farmer groups, treated as resource competitive growers’ cooperatives, and modeled at water market‐scale, can provide both price and water right allocation distribution signals for unregulated, temporary water right markets. For the range of feasible per‐water right allocation values, a coupled agricultural‐economic model is developed to describe the equilibrium distribution of water, the corresponding market price of water rights, and the net surplus generated by collaboration between competing agricultural uses. A static, demand‐based allocation redistribution ruleset is generated by which the cooperatives are constrained to abide. Water right supply and demand inequality impacts at the market‐scale are used to characterize market performance under existing water rights law, and to evaluate the efficacy of intercooperative collaboration over the period 2000–2015. Exclusive intercooperative water trading, following a demand‐based ruleset, produces joint mean annual expected profits 24%–122% larger than a case of no‐interaction, depending on initial rights distribution. The broader insights of this research suggest that water rights holders engaged in agriculture can achieve enhanced benefits by forming crop‐type cooperatives and implementing demand‐based allocation redistribution rulesets.

“…A seca é um evento que ocorre de forma gradual, decorrendo de alterações climáticas de ordem regional ou mesmo global, sendo difícil identificar seu início, fim e abrangência (Tsakiris, 2017;Sayers et al, 2016Sayers et al, , 2017Logar & Van Den Bergh, 2013). O conceito de seca mudou ao longo dos anos e o avançar dos estudos, o que gerou imprecisões no seu entendimento.…”
