The recurring occurrence of such phenomena highlights the need for adequate scientific investigations of the meteorological-climatic, hydrological and hydrogeological processes related to it, as well as of the impacts of current and future climate variability on ecosystem services, biodiversity and water supply and distribution systems. The associated research questions must be inserted in a broad context of sustainable management of water resources that scientifically supports the necessary planning of specific and structural interventions in the medium-long term aimed at increasing the resilience of supply systems, which at the same time allow the maintenance and, where necessary, the restoration of ecosystem services. <\/p>\n The aim of the Working Group \u201cDrought, Scarcity and Water Crises\u201d is therefore to stimulate and promote synergies between the multiple activities of the DSSTTA relating to the sustainable management of water resources and the management of water crises, with the aim of assessing, in a context of climate change, the vulnerability and resilience to drought events of supply systems as an integral part of overall ecosystem services. The \u201csystem\u201d perspective is pursued through an integrated approach that takes into account: <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n For information or proposals you can write to us at the email address gdl-siccita@cnr.it<\/a>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”2em||2em||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion open_toggle_text_color=”#77B2DF” closed_toggle_background_color=”rgba(119,178,223,0.1)” toggle_icon=”7||divi||400″ icon_color=”#17365D” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” toggle_text_color=”#17365D” toggle_font=”Roboto Mono|||on|||||” toggle_font_size=”20px” body_text_color=”#000000″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Objectives” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” body_ul_type=”circle” body_ul_item_indent=”34px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The Working Group \u201cDrought, Scarcity and Water Crisis\u201d aims to systematize the most recent scientific and technological knowledge and the experience gained by the CNR institutes involved in the monitoring and management of drought events for the creation of an organic knowledge framework potentially in operational support of water governance in Italy and in particular within the Permanent Observatories for Water Use.
