The WATCAP is intended to help to bridge the gap between the climate change predictions for the SRB and the decision makers in current and planned water management investment projects that will be affected by changing climate trends. The purpose of the report is to: (i) assist stakeholders and decision makers in assessing and planning for the risks generated by climate change impacts on water resources; (ii) provide a basis for future plans and studies of adaptation to climate change impacts in the SRB; and (iii) stimulate cooperation and debate across the basin toward additional and more detailed studies on climate change impacts at the regional and basin scale. The SRB is projected to experience small increases in water use by the public water supply, industry, energy, and agricultural and irrigation sectors. However, it is widely expected that new hydropower plants (HPPs) will be constructed in the near future, making energy (primarily through hydropower) the most important water use in the SRB.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOWATER QUALITYIMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEVISIBILITYWATER MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIESPOWER PLANTSENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONTEMPERATURERESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGETRANSPORT MANAGEMENTTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT MODEWATER SUPPLYTRENDEMISSIONSDOMESTIC WATERAIR TEMPERATURESINLAND WATERWAYSLOCAL CLIMATIC CONDITIONSEVAPOTRANSPIRATIONGASNUTRIENTSHYDROLOGICAL CONDITIONSCLIMATE SCENARIOSTRAFFICHUMIDITYROUTESCONSEQUENCES OF CLIMATE CHANGEEFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGEAIRPESTICIDESTUNNELDRIVERSTRANSPORT MODESREGIONAL CLIMATE MODELWATER MANAGEMENTICE COVERCLIMATIC CONDITIONSROADCOSTSRAIL TRANSPORTRIPARIAN COUNTRIESTRANSPORTATION NETWORKTRAININGTRANSPORTRAIL CORRIDORSREGIONAL CLIMATEFLOODSEMISSION SCENARIOCAPACITYFUTURE CLIMATE SCENARIOSCHEMICAL COMPOSITIONCLIMATE ADAPTATIONMETEOROLOGICAL STATIONSWATER USEWATER LEVEL FLUCTUATIONSWATERTEMPERATURE DATATRANSPORT OF GOODSENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTCLIMATE MODELCLIMATE SCENARIOFOGCLIMATE MODELSCLIMATE MODEL OUTPUTSINFRASTRUCTURECLIMATE TRENDSICE FORMATIONEMISSIONS SCENARIOSTRANSPORT NETWORKEMISSIONINITIATIVESLEADTRANSPORTATIONCLIMATE CHANGEIPCCDROUGHTINTERNATIONAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTRIVER BASINCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSCLIMATEOPERATIONAL MANAGEMENTDECISION MAKINGRIVERSHYDROLOGICAL CHANGEDAILY TEMPERATURECLIMATE CHANGESSEASONPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT REQUIREMENTSGAS EMISSIONDOMESTIC WATER SUPPLYAIR TEMPERATURECLIMATIC DRIVERSRAILROADLAKESHYDROLOGIC MODELSWATER USERSCLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATIONICERAILFUELENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTSHYDROLOGIC SIMULATIONSTEMPERATURESLESSINLAND WATERWAY TRANSPORTINVESTMENTSGCMMANAGEMENT OF WATERROAD TRANSPORTSAFETYINLAND WATERWAYFREEZEENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONSTRANSPORT OPERATIONSWATER TEMPERATUREBOTTLENECKSENERGYReportWorld Bank10.1596/22948
