Climate change exerts influence on water resources and runoff directly ? by altering natural factors (precipitation, temperature, evapotranspiration) and indirectly ? by induced as a result of climate change land use alterations (forests, wetlands, etc.). The report presents the methodological approach for estimation of the cumulative impact of both climate and land use changes on the availability of water resources. For calculation of water balance a Model of monthly water balance, created in the United States Ge...

In terms of climate change and extreme events, the role of the complex water systems and reservoirs management is increasing. Under these conditions the management of the built water reservoirs is of primary importance for both: responding to high-wave and for ensuring the ecological flow and water consumption during drought periods. In order to improve the complex and significant reservoir management, it has been initiated a phased development of a Decision support system (DSS) with the appropriate modules. The u...
