摘要: Abstract: It is critical to understand the ability of water management prepare for and respond likely increasing duration, frequency, intensity droughts brought about by climate variability change. This article evaluates this ability, or adaptive capacity, within large urban community systems (CWSs) in Arizona Georgia. analyzes interview data on bridges barriers adapting approaches relation extreme over past decade. study not only finds levers building capacity that are unique each state but also identifies several unifying themes cut across both cases. The interviews show a particular bridge barrier, such as regulation, universally beneficial detrimental state. Such knowledge useful improving drought understanding how CWSs might future change removing bolstering efforts build capacity.
