Water Futures and Solution - Fast Track Initiative (Final Report)

Abstract

The Water Futures and Solutions Initiative (WFaS) is a cross-sector, collaborative global water project. Its objective is to apply systems analysis, develop scientific evidence and identify water-related policies and management practices, working together consistently across scales and sectors to improve human well-being through water security. The approach is a stakeholder-informed, scenario-based assessment of water resources and water demand that employs ensembles of state-of-the-art socio-economic and hydrological models, examines possible futures and tests the feasibility, sustainability and robustness of options that can be implemented today and can be sustainable and robust across a range of possible futures and associated uncertainties. This report aims at assessing the global current and future water situation.
