Climate Resilience

Observations of the Turkana Jet and the East African Dry Tropics

This article presents research from a field campaign in northwest Kenya on the Turkana Low Level jet, an intrinsic part of the African climate system and principle method of water vapor transport to the African interior from the Indian Ocean. Measured for the first time in 40 years, this dataset presents new evidence on the Turkana jet, and creates an opportunity to better understand regional dynamics in one of the most data-sparse regions in the world.

Modular, adaptive, and decentralised water infrastructure: promises and perils for water justice

This review summarises emerging realities for water insecurity in an era of disruption, and new developments that the authors call modular, adaptive, and decentralised (MAD) water infrastructure. These decentralised models require a justice-oriented framework to unlock the promise of sustainable access to safe, reliable, affordable water supply for a more mobile, just, and resilient world.

Climate change, water, sanitation and hygiene and resilience: a briefing paper from SWA Research and Learning Constituency

This brief was prepared by the SWA Research and Learning constituency in support of the 2022 Sector Ministers’ Meeting (SMM) ‘Building Forward Better for Recovery and Resilience.’ It seeks to make available the latest research evidence on climate change, resilience and water, sanitation and hygiene for the preparatory processes leading up to the SMM and to support evidence-based follow-up action.

Soil moisture spatio‑temporal variability under treated and untreated catchment conditions in a fragile tropical highland environment: implication for water security

This research article presents soil moisture variability as influenced by catchment management in the Blue Nile Highlands, Ethiopia. The authors show that improved catchment management can play a critical role in improving agricultural water security in rainfed systems by improving soil moisture availability and storage.

Geomorphic change in the Ganges– Brahmaputra–Meghna delta

More than 70% of large deltas are under threat from rising sea levels, subsidence and anthropogenic interferences, including the Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna (GBM) delta, the Earth’s largest and most populous delta system. This review describes GBM delta dynamics, examining these changes through the Drivers– Pressures–States–Impacts–Responses framework.

Water Security for Climate Resilience Report

This report presents a synthesis of published and ongoing research by REACH which explores the relationship between water security, climate and climate adaptation decisions. The report draws on findings from REACH research conducted in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
