Finding water scarcity amid abundance using human–natural system models

Large integrated system modeling of the Willamette Basin, Oregon to assess future water scarcity with climate change and population growth

Project facts

United States
Oregon
2016

The goals of the Willamette Water 2100 project were twofold:

1) To understand where and when water scarcity may arise and to recognize the factors contributing to, and potentially mitigating, future water scarcity

2) To assess the importance of a high level of system detail to gain insights into emerging water scarcity.

The project changed local, regional, and national government officials’ and politicians’ understanding of limitations and opportunities to address future water scarcity challenges in the region.

The scenarios were made in: 2016

The scenarios look out to: 2010-2100
