  - Climate change represents a major increase in uncertainty that water managers
    and policy makers will need to integrate into water resources policy and management.
    A certain level of uncertainty has always existed in water resources planning,
    but the speed and intensity of changes in baseline conditions that climate change
    embodies might require a shift in perspective. This article draws on both the
    social and physical science results of the EU-FP7 ACQWA project to better understand
    the challenges and opportunities for adaptation to climate change impacts on the
    hydrology of the upper Rhone basin in the Canton Valais, Switzerland. It first
    presents the results of hydro-climatic change projections downscaled to more temporally
    and spatially-relevant frames of reference for decision makers. Then, it analyses
    the current policy and legislative framework within which these changes will take
    place, according to the policy coherence across different water-relevant frameworks
    as well as the integration and mainstreaming of climate change. It compares the
    current policy and legislative frameworks for different aspects of water resources
    management to the projected impacts of climate change on the hydrology of the
    upper Rhone basin, in order to examine the appropriateness of the current approach
    for responding to a changing climatic context. Significant uncertainties pose
    numerous challenges in the governance context. The study draws on adaptive governance
    principles, to propose policy actions across different scales of governance to
    better manage baseline variability as well as more ‘unpredictable’ uncertainty
    from climate change impacts.@eng
