In particular, changes in rainfall patterns and temperature may impact the intensity or schedule of water availability. Also the retreat of tropical glaciers, the drying of unique Andean wetland ecosystems, as well as increased weather variability and weather extremes will affect water regulation. These changes have the potential to impact the energy and other sectors, such as agriculture, and could have broader economic effects.AnticipatinWorld Bank StudiesMountain hydrologyPeruCase studiesWatershed hydrologyPeruCase studiesBioclimatologyPeruCase studiesClimatic changesPeruCase studiesSanta River (Peru)ClimateCase studiesMantaro River (Peru)ClimateCase studiesRimac River (Peru)ClimateCase studiesElectronic books.Mountain hydrologyWatershed hydrologyBioclimatologyClimatic changes551.480985/09143Vergara Walter1950-893146MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457039403321Assessment of the impacts of climate change on mountain hydrology1994887UNINA
