Abstract
Integrated management of water resources is complex, and burdened by the provincial nature of water resource management. Considering the subsistence economies that characterize rural poor populations also constitute one of their main barriers, and that productivity will be affected by drier conditions, a main objective of an adaptation strategy would involve achieving an increase in income through a redefinition of productive activities. An adequate adaptation strategy to climate change induced water stress would include measures such as: diversification of water supply sources, increased water storage facilities, and implementation of efficient and rational water use.
