| Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation: Quantify the Cost of Impacts and Adaptation | Metroeconomica | UK | Water scarcity & droughts |
Two case-studies in SE England and SE Scotland. Net benefit estimated as difference between (a) the economic losses to households of restricted supplies and (b) resource costs of removing deficits. It used existing studies to estimate the economic losses to households for foregone water use because of the anticipated water deficit up to 2100 using a revealed preference approach. The report then assessed the cost of addressing this water deficit, using information on the range of options available for managing the public water supply, and by constructing indicative cost-yield curves. |
| Water resource planning under climate uncertainty in London | Darch, G.; Arkell, B.;Tradewell, J. | UK | Water scarcity & droughts |
Assess effects of long term climate uncertainty on investment planning in London, including impact on reliability of resources, on cost-effectiveness of supply-demand options, and on investment decisions and robustness of option programmes. Draws on existing data and techniques for extrapolating for future climate scenarios and simple re-assessment of costs and benefits. |
