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 ass 606 $aWater-supply$xForecasting 606 $aClimatic changes$xForecasting 606 $aClimatic changes$xEnvironmental aspects$xSimulation methods 606 $aWatershed management 606 $aDroughts$xRisk assessment 606 $aLong-range weather forecasting 615 0$aWater-supply$xForecasting. 615 0$aClimatic changes$xForecasting. 615 0$aClimatic changes$xEnvironmental aspects$xSimulation methods. 615 0$aWatershed management. 615 0$aDroughts$xRisk assessment. 615 0$aLong-range weather forecasting. 676 $a553.7 701 $aFung$b Fai$01594137 701 $aLopez$b Ana$01594138 701 $aNew$b Mark$01594139 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910829044703321 996 $aModelling the impact of climate change on water resources$93914589 997 $aUNINA
