Description

Based on precipitation and temperature projections for various greenhouse gas emission scenarios, hydrological models were used to quantify scenarios of stream flow and aquifer recharge. The  study also evaluated the impacts on the ability to meet water needs, on water quality and on the flood and drought risk. The results led to the suggestion of a set of adaptation measures.
