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 IGOVULNERABILITY TO CLIMATE CHANGEHYDROPOWER SECTORPOWER PLANTSWATER COURSESTEMPERATURECLIMATE CHANGE VULNERABILITYCALCULATIONMAGNITUDE OF CLIMATE CHANGEWATER PROTECTIONCLIMATE VARIATIONSDAMSPOWER STATIONSRIVER FLOWACTIVITIESCLIMATE CHANGE ANALYSISGENERATIONWINDWATER SUPPLYEMISSIONSRESERVOIRSAIR TEMPERATURESFISH MIGRATIONHYDROLOGICAL FORECASTINGWATER_PROTECTIONCLIMATE SCENARIOSHYDROPOWER SCHEMESAIRWATER RESOURCESHYDROLOGICAL CYCLETEMPERATURE INCREASEELECTRICITY CONSUMPTIONANNUAL PRECIPITATIONINTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGEPOWER SOURCESGENERATION CAPACITYRESERVOIRPOWER GENERATIONRENEWABLE ENERGY PRODUCTIONREGIONAL CLIMATEELECTRICITY PRODUCTIONFLOODSSOLAR POWER PLANTSEMISSION SCENARIOCAPACITYHYDROELECTRICITYFUTURE CLIMATE SCENARIOSCLIMATE ADAPTATIONOPTIONSWATERWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTWATER LEVELFLOW REGULATIONCLIMATE MODELCLIMATE SCENARIOBASIN AREAPRECIPITATIONCLIMATE MODELSENERGY PRODUCTION FACILITIESFALLHYDROPOWER SECTORCLIMATE VARIABILITYENERGY CONSUMPTIONEMISSIONHYDROPOWER TECHNOLOGYRIVER BASIN MANAGEMENTCLIMATE CHANGEIPCCDROUGHTRESETTLEMENTGLOBAL CLIMATECLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTRIVER BASINDOWNSTREAM COMMUNITIESPOWERELECTRICITYBASIN MANAGEMENTCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSEXTREME EVENTSHEADWIND POWERCLIMATEGREEN POWERHYDROPOWERELECTRICITY GENERATIONHYDROLOGICAL MODELDECISION MAKINGHYDROPOWER PRODUCTIONCLIMATE PARAMETERRIVER BASIN MANAGEMENT PLANSEASONDAMENERGY PRODUCTIONHYDROLOGIC REGIMESOLAR POWERPOWER PRODUCTIONTURBINESEXTREME VALUESENERGY DEMANDWATER AVAILABILITYELECTRICITY GENERATION CAPACITYDRINKING WATER SUPPLYTEMPORAL VARIABILITYWELLDRINKING WATERIRRIGATIONHYDROPOWER FACILITIESRIPARIAN RIGHTSINCANDESCENT BULBSHYDROLOGIC SIMULATIONSTEMPERATURESLESSAVAILABILITYFACILITIESHYDROPOWER GENERATIONCLIMATE PARAMETERSGCMRENEWABLE ENERGYADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGERESILIENCE TO CLIMATE CHANGEELECTRICITY PRODUCTIONWATER LEVELSSEASONSEMISSIONS SCENARIOAVAILABLE WATERHYDROPOWER PLANTSAPPROACHHYDROLOGICAL STATIONENERGYRIVERFLOW REGIMESPEAK LOADSReportWorld Bank10.1596/22947
