Effects of Climate Change on Water Resources

Technical Issues

• Using weather-type analysis to assess the impacts of climate change ( see references 13, 16)
• Climate-change scenario development (see reference 18)
• Detectability of climate change (see references 14, 15, 17, 43, 45)
• Spatial scale issues (see references 31, 32)

Model Applications Evaluating the Impacts of Climate Change

• Thornthwaite moisture index (see references 11, 17)
• TOPMODEL (see reference 15)
• Water-balance models (see references 24, 30)
