The quantitative assessment of the impact of climate change on
water availability and water resources management requires
knowledge of climate, hydro(geo)logical and water resources models,
and particularly the relationships between each of them. This book
brings together world experts on each of these aspects, distilling
each complex topic into concise and easy to understand chapters, in
which both the uses and limitations of modelling are explored. The
book concludes with a set of case studies using real-life examples
to illustrate the steps required and the problems that can be faced
in assessing the potential impacts of climate change on water
resource systems.
For students, scientists, engineers and decision-makers alike,
this book provides an invaluable and critical look at the
information that is provided by climate models, and the ways it is
used in modelling water systems. A key focus is the exploration of
how uncertainties may accrue at each stage of an impacts
assessment, and the reliability of the resulting information. The
book is a practical guide to understanding the opportunities and
pitfalls in the quantitative assessment of climate change impacts
and adaptation in the water resource sector.
