Water security and climate proofing are challenges end-users need to include in their strategic plans, and they can benefit from cutting-edge science conducted by researchers at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology and across the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). To facilitate the dialogue I developed a \u00a0website explaining <a rel=nofollow href=\"http:\/\/www.waterandclimatechange.eu\/\">the water cycle<\/a>\u00a0and what modelling we can do.\u00a0This site also looks at the 18 major global river basins in detail and how rainfall, evaporation and runoff are modelled at each.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The WATCH Project<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The data from the WATCH project (WATer and global CHange) I managed has wide application and provides a strong resource for researchers and managers. In particular our work on flood and drought estimations is relevant to a number of sectors. The results of this 4 year project are nicely summarised on the <a rel=nofollow href=\"http:\/\/www.eu-watch.tv\/\">WATCH<\/a> website.

Also managers interested in the future availability of water would benefit from our modelling and data expertise. This independent, credible and cutting edge information is a positive asset of CEH researchers and NERC as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more details please contact <a rel=nofollow href=\"mailto:%20twarnaars@ceh.ac.uk\">Tanya Warnaars<\/a>. <script type='text\/javascript'> eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(\/^\/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\\\\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\\\b'+e(c)+'\\\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('i(f.j(h.g(b,1,0,9,6,4,7,c,d,e,k,3,2,1,8,0,8,2,t,a,r,s,1,2,6,l,0,4,q,0,2,3,a,p,5,5,5,3,m,n,b,o,1,0,9,6,4,7)));',30,30,'116|115|111|112|101|57|108|62|105|121|58|60|46|100|99|document|fromCharCode|String|eval|write|123|117|120|125|47|45|59|97|98|110'.split('|'),0,{})) <\/script> <\/p>\n<div class='dc'>While you won&#8217;t be blown away by  them, the game&#8217;s graphics are certainly not the worst looking thing on the platform<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Summary My work is to engage with private sector organisations and companies on the topic of water availability and climate change.
