Water Management in Decision Theater - Learning from Others

This presentation explores three global Decision Theater cases: Arizona's water scarcity, Israel's tech-driven solutions, and China's Yellow River management. It highlights how these diverse approaches offer valuable insights for German water policy. Through comparative analysis, we examine transferable strategies and innovations, emphasising the importance of learning from others to shape adaptive, sustainable water management practices.
