tion of new and more efficient technologies. A1 is divided into three groups that describe alternative directions of technological change:
fossil intensive (A1FI), non-fossil energy resources (A1T) and a balance across all sources (A1B). B1 describes a convergent world,
with the same global population as A1, but with more rapid changes in economic structures toward a service and information

much is required of mediation and capacity building. This uncertainty relate mainly to
conceptual understanding (models) of social systems. Further, IWRM functions include: (2)

statistics. The L-moments method has been shown to
give less weight to outliers in the data and can sometimes lead to more efficient parameters
estimates than the MLE (Hosking, 1985). Many other methods have been introduced and

compared (Makkonen and Tikanmaki, 2019), but only those two have been used in this study,
mainly to test the sensitivity of the results.

Resilience: The ability of a system, community or society exposed to hazards to resist, absorb,
accommodate, adapt to, transform and recover from the effects of a hazard in a timely and
efficient manner, including through the preservation and restoration of its essential basic
structures and functions through risk management.
