Working group 2: Freshwater

Creators

Description

A working group at a Canada-USA symposium on climate change in the Arctic addressed freshwater issues from the perspective of water resource planning and management. Two issues were selected for discussion and identification of relationships with resource management: hydroelectric production and waste disposal. Gaps in knowledge about climate and water resources were identified along with potential actions for response and adaptation to climate change. Recommendations are offered to improve knowledge of Arctic climate and hydrology
