This book brings together world experts on each of these aspects, distilling each complex topic into concise and easy to understand chapters, in which both the uses and limitations of modelling are explored. The book concludes with a set of case studies using real-life examples to illustrate the steps required and the problems that can be faced in assWater-supplyForecastingClimatic changesForecastingClimatic changesEnvironmental aspectsSimulation methodsWatershed managementDroughtsRisk assessmentLong-range weather forecastingWater-supplyForecasting.Climatic changesForecasting.Climatic changesEnvironmental aspectsSimulation methods.Watershed management.DroughtsRisk assessment.Long-range weather forecasting.553.7Fung Fai1594137Lopez Ana1594138New Mark1594139MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910829044703321Modelling the impact of climate change on water resources3914589UNINA
