Abstract

Extreme weather and climate events pose significant risks to rural water and wastewater systems. We examine the vulnerability of the water sector to weather and climate extremes in rural, predominantly Indigenous and underserved coastal areas and analyze how networks support resilience. Drawing on the analysis of 39 web-based questionnaire responses and 19 interviews with rural water and wastewater managers and service providers in southern Louisiana and western Alaska, this article reports a range of interrelated historical, environmental, and social factors that influence vulnerability to extreme weather events. Formal and informal social networks serve multiple roles in building resilience. These roles include building technical and financial capacities, supporting emergency response and operational- to long-term planning, fostering data collection and monitoring, supporting information sharing and innovative research, and providing institutional support. Results from this research enrich our understanding of the social, relational, and networking processes that condition community resilience to extreme weather events.

提高农村供水和污水处理部门应对极端天气和气候事件的能力
极端天气和气候事件给农村供水和污水处理系统带来了巨大风险。我们研究了在农村地区、主要是土著地区和服务不足的沿海地区,供水部门面对极端天气和气候的脆弱性,并分析了网络如何支持复原力。本文通过对路易斯安那州南部和阿拉斯加州西部的 39 份网络问卷答复和 19 次与农村水和废水管理者及服务提供者的访谈进行分析,报告了一系列影响极端天气事件脆弱性的相互关联的历史、环境和社会因素。正式和非正式的社会网络在建设抗灾能力方面发挥着多重作用。这些作用包括建设技术和财政能力、支持应急响应和从业务到长期的规划、促进数据收集和监测、支持信息共享和创新研究,以及提供机构支持。这项研究的结果丰富了我们对社会、关系和网络过程的理解,这些过程是社区抵御极端天气事件的条件。

期刊介绍: JAWRA seeks to be the preeminent scholarly publication on multidisciplinary water resources issues. JAWRA papers present ideas derived from multiple disciplines woven together to give insight into a critical water issue, or are based primarily upon a single discipline with important applications to other disciplines. Papers often cover the topics of recent AWRA conferences such as riparian ecology, geographic information systems, adaptive management, and water policy. JAWRA authors present work within their disciplinary fields to a broader audience. Our Associate Editors and reviewers reflect this diversity to ensure a knowledgeable and fair review of a broad range of topics. We particularly encourage submissions of papers which impart a ''take home message'' our readers can use.
