Making the case for Water Funds: Evidence and Gap Assessment
This research consisted of two main steps: (1) Identify and prioritize key science questions, and; (2) conduct rapid literature reviews related to the highest priority questions and summarize the findings. To identify and prioritize key science questions, a core team drafted an initial set of questions organized into benefit categories (water quality, water quantity, biodiversity, human health and well-being, climate change mitigation and adaptation) and several thematic categories (e.g. modeling). The team then invited approximately thirty experts within and outside TNC to provide feedback to the list, add their own questions, and identify their highest priority questions. These experts included project-level professionals affiliated with specific water funds as well as scientists who have provided guidance to water funds over time. Review this document for key findings for targeted questions.
