This is one of the recommendations of a recent report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The report provides strategic, technical, and financial recommendations for improving drought resilience across the \u00cele-de-France region. The OECD-report Adapting the Paris Metropolitan Area to a Water-Scarce Future published in March, states that despite the Paris region benefiting from historically high rainfall, remains vulnerable to more frequent droughts. Climate projections estimate a 10\u201325% drop in summer rainfall by 2050. However, socio-economic development is also a driver of future drought risk with urban expansion hindering aquifer discharge and groundwater storage. The report calls for a systematic overhaul of how the region manages and plans for water scarcity.<\/p>\n<p>The first recommendation is to develop a robust drought risk assessment framework. This includes better monitoring of water usage and abstraction volumes by type of user. The report recommends the projection of water demand across different socio-economic scenarios. The report highlights the need for a cross-sectoral, long-term strategy for drought resilience. This should be rooted in updated risk assessments and remain flexible to adapt to evolving climate trajectories.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the report calls for the promotion of sustained awareness campaigns to encourage water-saving practices outside times of drought. The support of efficient technologies, such as household water-saving kits and improved irrigation systems in agriculture, could see an improvement in uptake. Existing water allocation tools, including permits and drought-related waivers, should be used to incentivise long-term reductions in water withdrawal. Collaborative efforts like the Aqui\u2019brie project and farmers\u2019 associations are highlighted as examples of successful demand-side engagement.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.waternewseurope.com\/oecd-urges-paris-to-act-upon-water-scarcity\/\">Water News Europe<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-708\/\">OECD urges Paris to act upon water scarcity<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,440,4958,5534],"class_list":["post-139479","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-oecd","tag-paris","tag-water-scarcity"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139479","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139479"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139479\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139479"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139479"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
