Impact of Climate Change on Water Balance Components and Droughts in the Guajoyo River Basin (El Salvador)

Assessing Variation in Water Balance Components in Mountainous Inland River Basin Experiencing Climate Change

Quantification of the changes of water balance components is significant for water resource assessment and management. This paper employed the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model to estimate the water balance in a mountainous watershed in northwest China at different spatial scales over the past half century. The results showed that both Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) and determination...

Impact of climate change on the severity and recurrence of droughts in Iran

Future climate change impact on hydrological regime of river basin using SWAT model

Hydrological components in a river basin can get adversely affected by climate change in coming future. Manipur River basin lies in the extreme northeast region of India nestled in the lesser Himalayan ranges and it is under severe pressure from anthropogenic and natural factors. Basin is un-gauged as it lies in remote location and suffering from large data scarcity. This paper explores the imp...

Detecting the Impact of Climate Change Droughts on Changes in Groundwater Resources. Case Study: Birjand County

Increasing atmospheric anomalies have altered some of the extreme events such as global warming droughts, many climatic components such as precipitation, evapotranspiration, temporal and spatial distribution of precipitation, followed by dominoes of changes in freshwater resources available to communities. Human changes such as changes in the hydrological regime of rivers, changes in the qualit...

Analyzing Climate Zooning and Climate Change Effects on Discharge of Jajrood River Basin

In this study, for climate zoning and determining the effects of climate change on discharge of Jajrood River Basin, data from 9 available stations in Jajrood River Basin were used. In order to create climatic zones in the Jajrood River Basin, multivariate cluster analysis was used. To validate the data, discriminant analysis was employed. For investigating the effects of temperature and precip...
