Kiem PY - 2013 T1 - Robust optimisation of urban drought security for an uncertain climate PB - National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility DO - https://doi.org/APO-34480 UR - https://apo.org.au/node/34480 AB - Abstract Recent experience with drought and a shifting climate has highlighted the vulnerability of urban water supplies to “running out of water” in Perth, south-east Queensland, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide and has triggered major investment in water source infrastructure which ultimately will run into tens of billions of dollars. With the prospect of continuing population growth in major cities, the provision of acceptable drought security will become more pressing particularly if the future climate becomes drier. ER -
