The nearby mountains provide water for settlements and agriculture, making human development possible in the first place. Due to the development of agriculture, population and economy during the last sixty years and the increasing water consumption, a demand- and population-driven water scarcity exists today and is expected to aggravate. At the same time, the effects of climate change and land use transformations on the hydrological system and the water availability are uncertain. This study evaluates the recent and future situation by combining a hydrological water balance model for the simulation of the water supply based on scenarios of climate and land use change with a socio-economic model for projecting the future water demand including predicted growth of population and economy.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Physical geographyHydrologyClimate changePhysical Geographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16000Hydrology/Water Resourceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/211000Climate Change/Climate Change Impactshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/313000Physical geography.Hydrology.Climate change.Physical Geography.Hydrology/Water Resources.Climate Change/Climate Change Impacts.551.48Fricke Katharinaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1063564BOOK9910298380803321Analysis and Modelling of Water Supply and Demand Under Climate Change, Land Use Transformation and Socio-Economic Development2532997UNINA
