Enhancing water infrastructure provision with climate change uncertainty
The aim of this project is to apply alternative models of economic analysis under uncertainty to a range of water infrastructure investment projects across Victoria, to assess appropriate policy options for water utilities, regulators and other government agencies. The aim is to improve the provision of water supply infrastructure by accounting explicitely for the prospects for climate change.
