Robust decision-making under uncertainty for a moorland ecosystems water resources management under scenarios of climate variability

This research paper describes the application of a robust decision-making under uncertainty framework, utilizing the XLRM assessment framework and the Water Evaluation And Planning (WEAP) system, to manage water resources in a moorland ecosystem in Piura, Peru, amidst climate variability.

• The study employed a participatory workshop with regional actors and the XLRM (eXogenous uncertainties, policy Levers, Relationships, and Measures) framework to identify water resource uncertainties, adaptation strategies, and performance indicators. The WEAP (Water Evaluation And Planning system) platform was used to model the hydrological response of the moorland ecosystem to determine its importance to the regional water system.
• Simulation results over a 50-year period indicate vulnerability in the base flows of the moorlands ecosystem, driven by climate variability and a reduction in the area of the moorlands. This vulnerability negatively impacts the water supply for downstream users, specifically agricultural and rural users who depend solely on a reservoir.
