Water and Environmental Systems Management Under Uncertainty: From Scenario Construction to Robust Solutions and Adaptation

Maria da Conceicao Cunha

Summary: This paper discusses the challenges of decision-making processes in the context of sustainable development of water and environmental systems. It presents concepts, models, and methods to address uncertainties, including those related to climate change. The paper also emphasizes the need for comprehensive decision frameworks involving multiple processes to achieve sustainable decisions and adapt to uncertain future conditions.

On the evaluation of climate change impact models

Thorsten Wagener et al.

Summary: In-depth understanding of climate change implications is crucial for decision-makers and policy-makers in developing adaptation strategies and infrastructure. While comparing model simulations with historical observations is valuable, additional model evaluation is needed to ensure transparency and robustness. Global sensitivity analysis provides a comprehensive approach to address all evaluation questions and strengthen stakeholder confidence in model projections.

A large-sample investigation into uncertain climate change impacts on high flows across Great Britain

Rosanna A. Lane et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the impact of climate change on high flows in Great Britain, finding an increase in magnitude and frequency of high flows along the western coast in the future, with a decrease in median flows across various regions of GB. The study highlights the significant uncertainties in hydrological modeling, especially in eastern and southeastern England, and emphasizes the importance of considering different factors that influence changes in high flows.

Evaluation of Sub-Selection Methods for Assessing Climate Change Impacts on Low-Flow and Hydrological Drought Conditions

Saeed Golian et al.

Summary: Selecting a subset of climate model projections is a challenge for climate impact studies. Different sub-selection methods vary in their ability to capture different aspects of the parent ensemble, making it difficult to identify a best method for widespread application. Researchers should carefully evaluate the performance of sub-selection based on their study aims and specific catchment needs.

Uncertainties and their interaction in flood hazard assessment with climate change

Hadush Meresa et al.

Summary: The assessment of future impacts of climate change involves a cascade of uncertainty linked to the modelling chain used, and understanding this cascade is crucial for effective adaptation actions. By evaluating uncertainties in future flood quantiles associated with climate change for four catchments, incorporating various sources of uncertainty, it was found that flood hazard increased in all catchments and was consistent with changes in precipitation. The dominant sources of uncertainty varied across catchments, emphasizing the complexity and variability in the assessment of future flood hazard.

Impacts of climate change on groundwater flooding and ecohydrology in lowland karst

Patrick Morrissey et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of climate change on lowland karst systems using high-resolution climate simulations coupled with karst hydrogeological models. The results suggest that future flood levels are expected to increase significantly across all emission scenarios, leading to more frequent and severe flooding events with potential ecological and societal consequences.
