Abstract: Climate Variability (CV), climate change (CC) and water crisis is the main environmental problems the world has to meet in XXI Century. The way they deal with each other is an obvious threat with serious implications in vulnerable societies.

This paper aims to: · Summarize potential impacts of VC and CC on Colombian water resources, which would intensify existing. · Define concepts of climate adaptation. · Identify for future water managers how to measure responsiveness to VC and CC, according to strategies and guidelines such as: Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM); the precautionary, ecological sustainability, equity participation and economic efficiency principles, among others. · And define the framework of a comprehensive and adaptive management strategy with public policy implications for water resources administration.
