Conclusions and recomendations
B.C. temperature may rise from 1.5 to
4.5oC during 21st century
Rainfall may decrease from 15 to 36%
One of the major problems in this state
is water and extrem events 
-
More efficient use of water and irrigation
Water treatment and and re-use
Desalination plants?
Aquifer monitoring and climate forecasts
Drought- and high-temperature resistant products
