The combined inยฏuence 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 , 560ยฑ3614 m a.s.l.). The runo regime reยฏects the snow accumulation in the winter half-year and snowmelt in the summer half-year

There is increasing debate these days on climate change and its possible consequences. Much of this debate has focused in the context of surface water systems. In many arid areas of the world, rainfall is scarce and so is surface runo. These areas rely heavily on groundwater. The consequences of cli
## Abstract On the basis of the field measurements of changes in groundwater level and plant species abundance along nine transects crossing the Tarim River in Xinjiang, China, we examined the responses of groundwater and plant communities to a governmentโcontrolled 7โyear recharge regime to the lo
## Abstract The predicted increase in mean global temperature due to climate change is expected to affect water availability and, in turn, cause both environmental and societal impacts. To understand the potential impact of climate change on future sustainable water resources, this paper outlines a
Region 2 comprises arctic and subarctic North America and is underlain by continuous or discontinuous permafrost. Its freshwater systems are dominated by a low energy environment and cold region processes. Central northern areas are almost totally inยฏuenced by arctic air masses while Paciยฎc air beco
