Toolkit #3: Water Security Planning
Water security planning aims to identify, define, evaluate, and choose water security activities in terms of:
- Mitigation of targeted priority water risks
- Direct and indirect benefits, positive and negative impacts and externalities
- Combined/cumulative benefits and externalities among various activities
- Socioeconomic and environmental impacts
- Direct and indirect costs, capacity, and resource needs
- Robustness in view of uncertainties of future trends (i.e. capacity to provide benefits across the range of possible futures)
- Ability to adjust to changing conditions
