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 IGORIVER VALLEYSEASONAL PRECIPITATIONMETEOROLOGICAL SERVICESBASIN BOUNDARIESTEMPERATUREHYDROLOGIC CYCLETEMPERATURE SCENARIOSWIND SPEEDANNUAL RUNOFFTEMPERATURE GRADIENTANNUAL FLOWSHYDROLOGYWINDHYDROLOGIC PROCESSESAIR TEMPERATURESSEASONAL TEMPERATURERAINFALL EVENTSFLASH FLOODPEAK FLOWRIVER BASIN DEVELOPMENTRIVER BASIN COMMISSIONCLIMATE SCENARIOSCONSEQUENCES OF CLIMATE CHANGESOLAR RADIATIONPEAK FLOWSAIRWATER RESOURCESMETEOROLOGICAL SERVICESTREAMKNOWLEDGEINTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGEREGIONAL CLIMATE MODELWATER MANAGEMENTRIPARIAN COUNTRIESTEMPORAL SCALESRIVER BASIN DEVELOPMENTRIVER NETWORKSUMMER RUNOFFREGIONAL CLIMATEBASINSFUTURE CLIMATE SCENARIOSCLIMATE ADAPTATIONBASIN AREASMETEOROLOGICAL STATIONSWATERCLIMATE ANALYSISTEMPORAL RESOLUTIONDRAINAGE BASINTEMPERATURE DATARAINFALLCLIMATE MODELCLIMATE SCENARIOTRIBUTARIESBASIN AREASTREAMFLOWCLIMATE MODELSBASIN COUNTRYBASIN AREASRIVER BASIN DEVELOPMENTBASIN COMMISSIONIMPACT OF CLIMATELAND USETEMPERATURE RECORDTEMPERATURE CHANGECLIMATE TRENDSMITIGATION MEASURESBASINFRESHWATER RESOURCESWATERSHED MANAGEMENTBASIN DEVELOPMENTCLIMATE CHANGESCIENCEINTERNATIONAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGEHYDROLOGICAL IMPACTSGLOBAL CLIMATESNOW MELTRIVER BASINIMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE DATACLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSCLIMATEHYDROLOGIC REGIMESPARTNERSHIPHYDROPOWERHYDROLOGICAL MODELAGRICULTUREINCREASE IN TEMPERATUREENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCEPROPERTIESANNUAL FLOWRIVERSDAILY TEMPERATUREAPPLIED CLIMATOLOGYENVIRONMENTSEASONDAMFLOOD FORECASTINGSOILHYDROLOGIC RESPONSEAIR TEMPERATUREMAJOR RIVERSLANDCLIMATE MODELLINGIRRIGATIONRIVER FLOWSICEBASIN SCALEHYDROLOGIC SIMULATIONSFLOOD CONTROLTEMPERATURESRIVER CHANNELSCLIMATE PROJECTIONSTEMPERATURE RECORDSCATCHMENT AREARIVER ANALYSISSTREAMFLOWSMETEOROLOGICAL DATAEXTREME PRECIPITATIONCLIMATOLOGYSEASONSHYDROLOGICAL MODELSMAXIMUM TEMPERATURERIPARIANSTREAM FLOWBASIN RESPONSEGLOBAL CLIMATE MODELRIVERReportWorld Bank10.1596/22945
