In this context, decentralized water storage systems, particularly Rainwater Harvesting (RWH), have emerged as key strategies for agricultural water security. However, the current literature remains fragmented, prioritizing hydrological performance over agricultural, socioeconomic, and long-term system perspectives. This systematic review critically assesses the role of RWH systems in agricultural water security. The review follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA 2020) protocol to ensure transparency and reproducibility and applies the Methodi Ordinatio to rank studies. A total of 22 peer-reviewed articles from the Scopus, ScienceDirect, and SciELO databases were analyzed. The results indicate that RWH contribute to increased water availability, and increased agricultural productivity. The RWH systems allow for greater crop intensity and reduce vulnerability to intra-seasonal climate variability. Despite these benefits, significant gaps remain in the literature such as limited socioeconomic integration, a lack of participatory approaches, and an absence of long-term evaluations. However, only 9 studies explicitly evaluated livelihood outcomes, and 11 conducted a limited socioeconomic analysis. The results suggest that the contribution of RWH systems to water security cannot be fully understood solely through technical indicators. Integrated approaches combining hydrological, agronomic, and socioeconomic perspectives are necessary. This study proposes a research agenda focused on interdisciplinary methods, participatory frameworks, and long-term systemic analyses to strengthen agricultural resilience in the face of increasing water scarcity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37308,"journal":{"name":"Water Security","volume":"28 ","pages":"Article 100213"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148730408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over 1100 hydropower projects now intersect with accelerating warming (0.44 °C per decade), increased glacier mass loss, and rapid hydrological regime shifts. These intersections generate double-exposure, where communities and infrastructure systems face simultaneous pressures from engineered flows and hydroclimatic changes. Further, infrastructure systems designed for 50–100 years confront temporal mismatches as peak watertiming varies largely among different AWT basins, creating stranded asset risks. Governance arrangements critically mediate adaptive capacity, with Bhutan's cooperative model enabling coordinated responses, Nepal-India arrangements showing implementation gaps, and China's development highlighting the importance of transboundary data sharing, coordinated operation, and downstream risk evaluation. Our findings underscore the need for integrated adaptation through four pillars: climate-adaptive infrastructure, ecosystem-based measures, diversified renewable portfolios, and enhanced transboundary coordination, with the next decade representing a critical decision window requiring coordinated infrastructure development focused on system-wide resilience.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37308,"journal":{"name":"Water Security","volume":"28 ","pages":"Article 100211"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148640809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a part of ongoing PhD research in Political Science and Sociology at Scuola Normale Superiore in Florence. The research follows an ethnographic approach and, by intersecting social movement studies and political ecological analysis, explores the bottom-up commoning processes related to water in the polycrisis. The paper suggests that socio-environmental care is a substantial yet missing prism in climate change discourses, offering insights into the needs of inhabiting communities before and after a disaster, including the historical and material relations of a particular context. Starting from the premise that discourses on climate change should contextualize floods and climate disasters within the social and historical processes of the place, the paper argues that local communities and social movements are crucial for innovative bottom-up mechanisms of care during and after climate emergencies in the polycrisis. These arguments are explored empirically in Pelion and Volos, Greece, where extreme weather conditions named Daniel and Elias occurred in 2023, resulting in floods, power and water cuts, and other destruction. In these sequences, social centres, activists, and local communities engaged in collective actions grounded in care and mutual support. In this context, the Popular Assembly of Stagiates, based in a village near Volos, developed a repertoire of actions focusing on preparedness. Through empirical analysis, this paper highlights that preparedness related to care and commons can contribute to the dialogue on water security and the democratic possibilities of coexistence in the polycrisis with innovative community-based responses that leave legacies of quick reflexes, mutuality, and care in the commoning.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37308,"journal":{"name":"Water Security","volume":"28 ","pages":"Article 100210"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148730410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In transboundary basins such as the Mekong River Basin, coordination unfolds under conditions of dispersed authority, power asymmetry, and technocratic policy-making. Within this terrain, trust is frequently invoked as essential to cooperation—yet actors who invoke it often mean different, even incompatible, things by it, a plurality this paper treats as a puzzle rather than an inconsistency to resolve. Drawing on a situational analysis of a regional WEC policy forum in the Mekong, treated as an illustrative rather than representative case, the paper reads trust as a boundary object: a travelling vocabulary stable enough to anchor coordination across actors while remaining open to divergent local meanings. It then traces the boundary work through which that vocabulary is continuously produced and contested. The findings show that trust operated as negotiated credibility, as a scale-contingent practice, and as a political strategy. Across these patterns, trust enabled coordination under informality without resolving the structural asymmetries it operated within, clarifying both its enabling and its bounded role in contemporary water security governance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37308,"journal":{"name":"Water Security","volume":"28 ","pages":"Article 100212"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148640831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Key challenges include balancing water use between sustaining irrigated agriculture and maintaining environmental outcomes while managing the associated trade-offs optimally. Hydro-economic models provide a structured framework to examine these trade-offs, but their application in the MDB varies widely in how climate inputs, adaptation options, and outcome domains are represented in the modelling framework. This review synthesises MDB hydro-economic (HEM) studies with explicit focus on climate change and explores how climate risks, adaptation responses and water allocation trade-offs are represented within MDB HEM studies. Of 152 shortlisted MDB focused HEM studies, 57 are identified as climate focused HEM studies, which include 28 direct climate focused and 29 indirect focused studies. Direct climate focused studies indicate that drying reduces water availability and allocation reliability, with uneven effects across regions, sectors, and entitlement types. Horticulture and downstream ecosystems, including wetlands, are particularly sensitive to water reductions, while annual crops can adapt in the short-run. Adaptation options such as targeted water recovery, water trading, and efficiency or infrastructure upgrades can reduce losses under moderate climate change scenarios. The review suggests that future MDB hydro-economic modelling will require greater use of ensemble climate scenarios, explicit treatment of uncertainty, more realistic representation of ecological outcomes, institutional rules, market behaviour, and adaptive decision-making.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37308,"journal":{"name":"Water Security","volume":"28 ","pages":"Article 100209"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148730404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use climate modeling data simulating a nuclear exchange between Russia and the United States of America, in combination with predictions of the network location and density derived from nighttime light and artificial impervious surface data. By considering an increase in maximum frost depth under nuclear winter conditions, we identify areas where such networks are most vulnerable to disruption, and predict the length of the potentially affected pipelines using population-size-based and street-network-length-based models. As estimated, a total of ∼ 5–9 million kilometers of this critical infrastructure in 92 countries is at risk of freezing, potentially impacting the primary water source of over 2 billion individuals.
