Water Supply in Alpine Environments: Analyzing Climate Change-Driven Challenges and Opportunities Based on Mountain Huts in French-Speaking Switzerland

The consequences of global warming, which are already visible in mountain environments such as the Alps, are having an impact on water availability. In this project I have developed a mapping tool to provide an overview of the water supply situation in mountain huts in Switzerland. This analysis concludes that the situation is not identical for all mountain huts. Indeed, each one is established in a unique environment and context. However, in the future, the issue of water supply will become central to every community on the planet, as global warming is a worldwide phenomenon. This study provides a local understanding of a global problem, focusing on its causes, issues and possible solutions. 

 

This is how I came up with the idea for this project:

I came up with the idea thanks to my work experience at the Bertol hut, my passion for the mountains and water, and my curiosity.
