Peter Droogers Keywords integrated water resources management virtual dialogue ADB climate change Urban Development resilient infrastructure ICT environment energy DRRM Read more about Peter Droogers Dr. Peter Droogers is an expert on integrated water resources management at different spatial scales with an emphasis on climate change. His current activities include climate risk assessment for ADB and World Bank projects, focusing on assessing climate risks and analyzing potential adaptation strategies. He uses the latest IPCC climate projections combined with downscaling techniques and simulation modeling. Outputs are aimed at practical use for project developers and water managers.
Looking beyond WASH for water security: The roles of IWRM and climate change Read more about Looking beyond WASH for water security: The roles of IWRM and climate change This presentation discussed mitigating climate risks for WASH; interlinks between WASH and integrated water resources management (IWRM); and approaches to climate resilient WASH and securing water resources.

eWater Source and Community of Practice for Integrated Water Resources Management Read more about eWater Source and Community of Practice for Integrated Water Resources Management Water management has become an increasingly complex issue. Justifying decisions on the basis of incomplete science or limited process descriptions in simulation tools is no longer sufficient. The use of an adaptive framework is therefore necessarily implied by the application of systems thinking in an integrated water resources management context.
The Decision Support System for Integrated Water Resources Management in the Citarum River Basin Read more about The Decision Support System for Integrated Water Resources Management in the Citarum River Basin Competition for abundant water resources of the river systems in Citarum River Basin has increased significantly, leading to a situation of acute water stress and water conflict in some places in Indonesia. There is a need to strengthen information sharing as a basic principle of integrated water resources management planning.

Engineering Solutions: Are They Sufficient? Read more about Engineering Solutions: Are They Sufficient? Economic losses soar continuously while death tolls lessen in hydro-meteorological disasters. A higher level of physical protection is therefore necessary to achieve economic development. Although engineering solutions are essential, they will only become effective if certain factors are present and with many non‐engineering actions—before, during, and after.
Integrated Flood Risk Management in a Seamless Manner Read more about Integrated Flood Risk Management in a Seamless Manner Achieving Integrated Flood Risk Management (IFRM) in a seamless manner is possible through the use of a hydro-environmental simulation model. Promoting local ownership of flood forecasts, based on the experience of the International Centre for Water Hazard and Risk Management, remains a major challenge to achieving seamless IFRM.
