Gloria, I have one project that I am working on. While it has little to do with water except for it derives energy from it's usage, I do like your query. Myself, I have specific thoughts on climate change and how to account for it's cause. It's effect is something that at first may seem random. With water usage, conservation only allows for using a limited supply. And with climate change, an increase in rain fall may not be of value. Storms that could produce a rainfall of .5 cm/hr. may create more run off than a rain that lasts longer but has less volume. Saturation does become an issue. As such, flooding decreases the value of rain because of the crops it will kill. Sustainability comes from moderate levels of predictable rain fall. This would be one reason why limiting the effects of climate change could be important.

thank you James, yes with climate change there's increase in rainfall intensity but not enough to sustain irrigation.
