Potential Changes to Hydrological Systems

  • Conference paper
The Role of Water and the Hydrological Cycle in Global Change

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASII,volume 31))

Abstract

Climatic variability and change, including scenarios of global warming, may affect hydrological systems and actions taken to manage them. This section covers the first-order hydrologic effects, while water resource management issues are considered by Arnell elsewhere in this volume.
