Drought Toolbox

What time-scale did you have in mind? When are you expecting solutions to work?

The desired risk reduction effect of solutions is variable, with some having immediate results (e.g. instalation of water harvesting technologies) and other taking longer (e.g. landscape restoration)

Medium
Solutions offerening medium term results take a little while (1-3 years for benefits) to produce tangible risk reduction outcomes
Long
Solutions offering long term results take some time (> 3 years) until drought risks are reduced
Short
Solutions offering short-term results can quickly reduce risks (< 1 year for benefits)
