Uncertain regional climate change can play a secondary role to either exacerbate or dampen the increase in water stress. The strongest climate impacts on water stress are observed in Africa, but strong impacts also occur over Europe, Southeast Asia, and North America. The combined effects of ...

A Stress Test for Climate Change Impacts on Water Security: a CRIDA Case StudyA Stress Test for Climate Change Impacts on Water Security: a CRIDA Case StudySince the impacts of climate change will be felt most directly through changes in water availability and water security, adequate tools are...
In contrast to most integrated assessment models, with limited transparency on damage functions and recursive temporal dynamics, we use a unique large-dimensional computational global climate and trade model, GTAP-DynW, to directly project the possible intertemporal impacts of water and heat stress on...
This study examined the impacts of future climate changes on water resources and extreme flows in Yellow River Basin (YRB), China, using the Coupled Land surface and Hydrology Model System (CLHMS) driven by the IPCC scenarios RCP 2.6, 4.5 and 8.5. First, the skill of 14 IPCC AR5 GCMS fo...
Thermoelectric generation requires large amounts of water for cooling. Recent warm periods have led to curtailments in generation, highlighting concerns about security of supply. Here we assess EU-wide climate impacts for 1,326 individual thermoelectric
Many recent studies have demonstrated that CO2 increase is driving the climate in Mediterranean areas towards important changes, mainly represented by a temperature increase and a contemporaneous rainfall reduction. Starting from this premise, the primary aim of the present study is to investigate the ...
Lamia Messari-Becker, a civil-engineering professor at Germany’sUniversity of Siegen, toldDeutsche Wellein July 2021 that vague discussions about adapting to potential climate impacts aren’t enough anymore: “Now is the time for engineers. We need real ideas and real solutions.” ...
2 highlights that human-induced water stress significantly exacerbates climate impacts on water availability. While human water use can cause or intensify water stress, if managed well, it allows societies to react and adapt to the projected conditions (blue and green regions in Fig. 2). The ...
The Impact of Climate Change on Water Resources Climate change is a phenomenon that has been affecting the world for many years. One of the significant impacts of climate change is the disruption of water resources. Water is a vital resource for human life, and its scarcity can cause serious...
