A Framework for Action <br />Each scenario describes a different <br />baseline for 2030, to which the <br />water community would need to <br />respond by implementing a mix of <br />the management strategies shown <br />on pages 14 and 15. <br />Changes by Sector <br />b <br />L <br />a <br />L 4 <br />N <br />a. <br />LL <br />2 <br />L <br />Q 0 <br />c <br />0 <br />-2 <br />-4 <br />No single water management <br />strategy is sufficient to meet future <br />regional demands with so much <br />variation possible from region to <br />region and sector to sector.
