Sustainable water resource management in coupled human–natural systems requires adaptive policy frameworks that can address complex interactions between hydrological processes, socio-economic dynamics, and climate variability. As regional climate and development pressures intensify, there is an increasing need for decision-support tools that integrate quantitative modeling with stakeholder input to evaluate trade-offs and guide adaptive strategies. In this Science Talk, Dr. Mohammad Reza Alizadeh will discuss how stakeholder-driven, multi-scenario-based analysis helps identify trade-offs and inform robust policy decisions that support regional water security and resilience under uncertain climate and socio-economic futures.
