    The main objective of land claim is neither erosion nor storm reduction. The aim of land claim is instead, to create new land from areas that were previously below high tide. However, if land claim is designed with the potential impacts of climate change in mind, measures can be taken to reduce the exposure of these areas to coastal flooding. For example, in Singapore and Hong Kong, there are enforced minimum reclamation levels to account for future SLR.

    Objective
    Adaptation

    In many communities around the world, the growth of populations and economies are causing demand for freshwater to increase at an alarming rate. Without a sound and sustainable strategy for integrated water resource management (IWRM), demand in these areas can quickly expand to exceed available supply. One integrated approach that is gaining acceptance is to consider municipal wastewater as a vital resource for appropriate applications, including agricultural and other irrigation, industrial and domestic uses.

  • Water Management in Windhoek, Namibia

    Publication date

    According to this article, Namibia is among the most arid countries in the world as two deserts flank it, the Namib Desert in the west and Kalahari Desert in the east. It can be said that careful water management, including direct potable reuse, is required to secure the water supply to the city. With proper process design and quality management, water meeting stringent standards can be produced by reclamation and direct potable reuse can be practised. The public will accept such schemes if properly informed, despite initial health and aesthetic concerns.
