Vulnerability and adaptation to climate change in the Comoe River Basin (West Africa)
Climate change is impacting water users in many sectors: water supply, farming, industry, hydropower, fishing, housing, navigation and health. Existing situations, like population growth, movement of populations from rural to urban areas, poverty and pollution can aggravate the impacts of climate change. The aim of the study is to evaluate the vulnerability of different water user groups to cli...
متن کاملSensitivity of glacier runoff projections to baseline climate data in the Indus River basin
Quantifying the contribution of glacier runoff to water resources is particularly important in regions such as High Mountain Asia, where glaciers provide a large percentage of seasonal river discharge and support large populations downstream. In remote areas, direct field measurements of glacier melt rates are difficult to acquire and rarely observed, so hydro-glaciological modeling and remote ...
متن کاملResilience in Transboundary Water Governance: the Okavango River Basin
When the availability of a vital resource varies between times of overabundance and extreme scarcity, management regimes must manifest flexibility and authority to adapt while maintaining legitimacy. Unfortunately, the need for adaptability often conflicts with the desire for certainty in legal and regulatory regimes, and laws that fail to account for variability often result in conflict when t...
متن کاملA Dynamic Assessment of Water Scarcity Risk and Climate Change Adaptation in the Lower Brahmaputra River Basin
For assessing vulnerability and risk of water resources system and defining climate change adaptation policies and measures, the integrated contribution of several disciplines is required, enabling a comprehensive, but also complex, dynamic description of present state and future trends. But, the notions of vulnerability and risk and the approaches for their assessment, have found different and...
متن کاملAnalyzing 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...
