water management, scenarios, methods, strategyAbstract
The aim of the paper is to present the method for strategic scenarios development in the water sector (accounting for climate change) in relation to other methods of scenario development of this type, to discuss the creation of alternative scenarios, their usefulness and possible uses, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the scenario process to support the effective use of scenario methods in the future. The needs for scenario methods and their usefulness were presented. A review and classification of scenario methods related to strategic development issues of the water sector, including climate change, based on selected projects implemented in Poland and worldwide were conducted. The process of creating scenarios was discusses. The strengths and weaknesses of the process were identified and recommendations for the effective use of scenario methods in the future were presented.
