Climate Change Analysis for the example Watershed
B. Upendra, NCESS, NREM Group, Trivandrum - 695031
The objective of the present study is to evaluate the impact of
climate change on the
future of water resource of the example watershed through the
variation of
precipitation and temperature change in the warming climate from
the context of
increase of CO2. The impact of climate change on runoff was
studied using multiple
General Circulation Models (GCMs) as well as the Regional
Climate Models (RCP)
and all of this model will give the projections into the future
based on the historical
values and of course by simulating the future values with
underlined mathematical
equations which basically represent the model. However, every
mode is limited by its
own sensitivity. Here the associated uncertainties of the RCP8.5
which essentially
means Regional Climate model projection with worst scenario
taking into account
evaluated using two rainfall runoff models and the runoff which
is the quantity of
water discharged in surface streams will be impacted by the
change in precipitation,
evapo-transpiration which are all associated with the
temperature changes that comes
through the climate change cycle, ultimately affects both, the
water resourceavailability and demand for water by agriculture.
Here are the scenarios under which
the model simulations have been developed, the RCP8.5 with
linear change
correction, Delta change correction, Precipitation local
intensity scaling and the
power transformation of precipitation. While running the
climatic model the basic
inputs to be given are Domain, Model, Elevation/Historical
Scenario and Future
Scenario then check the files and then start processing and the
steps are shown below
in the form screenshots.
