The freshwater environment is facing unprecedented global pressures. Unsustainable use of surface and groundwater is ubiquitous. Gross pollution is seen in developing economies, nutrient pollution is a global threat to aquatic ecosystems, and flood damage is increasing. Droughts have severe local consequences, but effects on food can be global. These current pressures are set in the context of rapid environmental change and socio‐economic development, population growth, and weak and fragmented governance. We ask what should be the role of the water science community in addressing water security challenges. Deeper understanding of aquatic and terrestrial environments and their interactions with the climate system is needed, along with trans‐disciplinary analysis of vulnerabilities to environmental and societal change. The human dimension must be fully integrated into water science research and viewed as an endogenous component of water system dynamics. Land and water management are inextricably linked, and thus more cross‐sector coordination of research and policy is imperative. To solve real‐world problems, the products of science must emerge from an iterative, collaborative, two‐way exchange with management and policy communities. Science must produce knowledge that is deemed to be credible, legitimate, and salient by relevant stakeholders, and the social process of linking science to policy is thus vital to efforts to solve water problems. The paper shows how a large‐scale catchment‐based observatory can be used to practice trans‐disciplinary science integration and address the Anthropocene's water problems.

General circulation model (GCM) climate projections cannot be relied on to provide information at scales finer than the GCM model-grid resolutions; hence, fine-scale information can be achieved by the use of high spatial resolution in dynamical models or empirical statistical downscaling. This study briefly reviews methods of downscaling climate projections with particular emphasis on rainfall simulation and the results of a first attempt to apply generalized linear models (GLMs) for statistical downscaling in the Upper Nile (a challenging equatorial climate of East and Central Africa).
Nazemi A, Wheater HS, 2014, Assessing the vulnerability of water supply to changing streamflow conditions, Eos, Vol: 95, ISSN: 0096-3941
Natural streamflows are major water supplies globally and are sensitive to climate change. This has serious implications for water resource management: While changes in climate perturb water availability, human activities are developed around certain streamflow characteristics, such as flow seasonality and volume. Therefore, any shifts in streamflow regime can greatly affect human livelihoods. ©2014. American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved.
