This Issues Paper, requested by the former Ministry of Water Resources Development and
Management as a recommendation of the National Water Policy (NWP), will contribute to the National Climate Change
Response Strategy (NCCRS) by examining
opportunities for adaptation to climate change in the water resources sector, using both
structural and non-structural measures. It uses models to provide preliminary estimates of the
possible impacts of climate change in 2050 and 2080 on these water resources. A number of
opportunities to adapt to these impacts are discussed. Many of these adaptation opportunities
constitute no-regrets actions, in that they are actions that are worth undertaking in their own
right, irrespective of the severity of impacts from climate change.
