[Skywarn] Climate and Water Resources Management

[Lloyd Colston]

The COMET Program is pleased to announce the publication of the new
lesson, "Climate and Water Resources Management, Part 1: Climate
Variability and Change".

Climate is changing at unprecedented rates in recorded history. A
variety of lines of evidence demonstrate that climate change is likely
to affect the hydrologic cycle and thus create new challenges in water
management. This requires that climate change information be included
in water and water-related resources planning, operations, and
management.

Climate and Water Resources Management, Part 1: Climate Variability
and Change describes the terminology, global evidence, regional
manifestations, and basic science of global climate variability and
anthropogenic change, with a focus on water resources management. The
lesson presents this information using rich graphics, animations, and
interactions.

The intended audience for this lesson includes managers and
professionals working in water resources planning under variable and
changing climates. This includes people who are somewhat removed from
the implementation of climate change policy, but still need to be
conversant in the topic. This lesson was funded by the Bureau of
Reclamation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Please note: There is also an international version of this lesson,
called Climate Variability and Change for Water Resources Management -
International Edition.
