Water Resources Management in the Face of Climatic/Hydrologic Uncertainties

This text discusses the impacts of climatic fluctuations and climate change on water resources management. It presents an overview of the impacts of climatic change/fluctuations on a wide variety of water resources sectors, including river runoff, water quality, water temperature, water use and demand, reservoir management and water resource planning and management. The book presents a series of case studies to both demonstrate the application of climate change impact assessment methodologies, and to provide insights to catchment, river basin, and national scale impacts of climate change/fluctuations on the water resources of Africa, Europe, and North America.
