Abstract
This paper analyses the social capacities for drought risk management from
the perspective of national and regional water users and policy- and
decision-makers in Switzerland. The analysis follows five dimensions of
social capacities as prerequisites for drought risk management. Regarding
information and knowledge (1), basic data is available, however not assembled
for an integrated drought information system. As for technology and
infrastructure (2), limited proactive capacities are available with the
exception of a few of the drought-prone regions; in emergency response to
drought however, provisional capacities are put together. Regarding
organisation and management (3) most regions have enough personnel and
effective cooperation in the case of acute and sporadic drought; long-term
strategies though are largely missing. Economic resources (4) are sufficient
if droughts remain rare. Finally, institutions and policies (5) are not
sufficient for proactive drought risk management, but have been suitable in
the drought of 2003. Starting points for building social capacities are
first, to draw on the extensive experiences with the management of other
natural hazards, second to build an integrated drought information system,
including social and economic impacts, and third to improve the institutional
framework through consistent regulations and coordination for proactive
drought risk management.
