This paper provides an overview of the impact of global climate change on water resources management. Changes in precipitation and temperature of the scale predicted by General Circulation Models for a doubled CO2 level will significantly affect annual runoff, runoff variability, and seasonal runoff

The combined inΒ―uence of increased temperatures and changed precipitation on the seasonal snow cover and runo is evaluated for the Upper Rhine Basin at Felsberg (3250 km 2 , 560Β±3614 m a.s.l.). The runo regime reΒ―ects the snow accumulation in the winter half-year and snowmelt in the summer half-year
The purpose of this paper is to outline the advantages of the Bayesian approach for analysing uncertainties involving climate change, emphasizing the study of the risks such changes pose to water resources systems. Bayesian analysis has the advantage of basing inference and decisions on a coherent a
