1 Futures and Foresight Activities in WLE IWMI ARM State of Foresight in the CGIAR University of Aberdeen 9-10 May 2018 Presented by: David Wiberg, IWMI water-secure world world AA water-secure w w w. i w mi. o rg

2 WLE/IWMI Range of Futures Activities Purpose better planning and decision making Must be useful for decision making Scales Global/Regional Time (Week to Century) General trends, risks, hotspots National/Basin-scale Solution options and tradeoffs Supporting activities: Data and methodological development and refinement, verification Stakeholder scenario development Local Social impacts Stakeholder participation Solutions testing

7 SOUTH ASIA DROUGHT MONITOR SYSTEM (SA-DMS) First of its kind to establish for entire South Asia using multisource remote sensing observations; Historical drought risk mapping and assessment covering SA countries (2000 Current); IDSI allows better understanding on drought frequency, duration over the 16years; Products are useful tools in drought mitigation studies and in decisionmaking process; 2015 field observations in Jalna, Maharashtra

8 South Asia Drought Early Warning System (SADEWS) Current Condition: 10 July 2017 Forecast Period : 17 July and 25 July 2017 Standardized Soil Moisture and Runoff Index for regional drought and early warning Summary: The experimental drought forecast products for research/scientific use based on 10th July 2017 initial condition. These forecast products are based on the real time weekly operational forecast generated by Global ENSemble (GENS), a weather forecast model made up of 21 separate forecasts, or ensemble members developed at The National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), NOAA. Drought Forecast Outlook: The SADEWS is regional scale early warning system developed as a collaborative project between International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and Indian Institute of Technology Gandhi Nagar (IIT-GN). Disclaimer: The designations employed and the presentation of material in this information product do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and its partners concerning the legal or development status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. The views expressed in this information product are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of IWMI. The initial condition has improved over Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Western UP and Northeastern states.. Initial condition on the Soil Runoff Index (SRI) explains similar trend to SSI. Some level of dryness is expected in the following weeks over central parts of the region such as MP, eastern Gujarat and Jharkhand. The leeward side of the western ghats along the southern Maharashtra seems to be progressing towards dryness. In reference to IMD actual rainfall for India, several east-central states are in deficit rainfall condition which is affecting the crop productivity and advance need for State and Local authorities for better planning and coordination on water resources management.

17 Future for futures in WLE Current Challenges Disparate, disconnected project information No consistent tools, data, or methods enforced. Messages applicable to local context and time Not enough consistent local analysis and categorization for generalizable messages Future Opportunities Greater emphasis returning to Flagship 5 Harmonizing baseline data collection efforts (big data contributes) CG system s offices on the ground and relationships an advantage for data collection Consistent interfaces to the data, toolkits, and generated knowledge being developed.
