Book Confronting Climate Uncertainty in Water Resources Planning and Project Design

Download or read book Confronting Climate Uncertainty in Water Resources Planning and Project Design written by Patrick A. Ray and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-08-20 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confronting Climate Uncertainty in Water Resources Planning and Project Design describes an approach to facing two fundamental and unavoidable issues brought about by climate change uncertainty in water resources planning and project design. The first is a risk assessment problem. The second relates to risk management. This book provides background on the risks relevant in water systems planning, the different approaches to scenario definition in water system planning, and an introduction to the decision-scaling methodology upon which the decision tree is based. The decision tree is described as a scientifically defensible, repeatable, direct and clear method for demonstrating the robustness of a project to climate change. While applicable to all water resources projects, it allocates effort to projects in a way that is consistent with their potential sensitivity to climate risk. The process was designed to be hierarchical, with different stages or phases of analysis triggered based on the findings of the previous phase. An application example is provided followed by a descriptions of some of the tools available for decision making under uncertainty and methods available for climate risk management. The tool was designed for the World Bank but can be applicable in other scenarios where similar challenges arise.

Book Predictions of Climate Change Impacts on California Water Resources Using CALSIM II

Download or read book Predictions of Climate Change Impacts on California Water Resources Using CALSIM II written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This technical note describes the methodology used to assess the impacts of different climate change scenarios on California water resources. A water resources systems model was necessary to analyze the performance of California's water system under predicted hydrologic scenarios associated with climate change. The project used CALSIM II, a model cooperatively developed by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR). Seven different climate change scenarios were considered; results showed great negative impacts on California hydrology and water resources associated with most of the scenarios analyzed.
