What role can water storage play in adapting to climate change impacts on irrigation water availability?

Water storage can play a critical role in adapting to climate change impacts on irrigation water availability by providing a buffer against droughts and floods. Building new water storage infrastructure, such as reservoirs and dams, can help collect and store water during periods of abundance, reducing the reliance on irrigation during dry periods. Additionally, improving the management of existing water storage infrastructure, such as optimizing water release and storage strategies, can help maximize the benefits of water storage for irrigation water management.
