Responses to risks and uncertainties from out of the water box

As seen in the previous chapter, water managers use a number of mechanisms to help reduce the risks and uncertainties they face. Water policy responses can take various forms, from risk avoidance to anticipatory adaptive management. However, in a world where risk and uncertainties prevail in every domain of human life, responses to water challenges must come primarily as part of attempts to address (or in some cases, failure to address) other sectoral risks and uncertainties.
