Community resilience and response to changing water environments

This research project is entitled: An analysis of the social-ecological resilience potential of a waterside community in the context of changing water conditions: A study in local knowledges and resource governance along the River Adur. The study aims to understand how stakeholders or ‘communities of interest’ within one river catchment may cope in the face of these changing water environments, and what types of resilient or adaptive coping strategies are available to them and are currently deployed.

New or innovative technologies to support resilient, adaptive co-produced solutions are also crucial. Therefore, this study also explored the types of innovative technology that have already been adopted and how this knowledge has been shared or ‘transferred’ between stakeholders.
