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.Anticipatin 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aMountain hydrology$zPeru$vCase studies 606 $aWatershed hydrology$zPeru$vCase studies 606 $aBioclimatology$zPeru$vCase studies 606 $aClimatic changes$zPeru$vCase studies 607 $aSanta River (Peru)$xClimate$vCase studies 607 $aMantaro River (Peru)$xClimate$vCase studies 607 $aRimac River (Peru)$xClimate$vCase studies 615 0$aMountain hydrology 615 0$aWatershed hydrology 615 0$aBioclimatology 615 0$aClimatic changes 676 $a551.480985/09143 700 $aVergara$b Walter$f1950-$01610041 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811921403321 996 $aAssessment of the impacts of climate change on mountain hydrology$94063899 997 $aUNINA
