Global hydrological modeling to analyze the effects of climate, land use & socioeconomic change on the world's water resources

Among the most critical consequences of climate and global change are alterations in the spatial and temporal distribution of water resources. Mitigation and adaptation strategies are needed to prepare both society and the environment for potentially diminishing water supplies, increasingly erratic river flows, or more frequent extreme events such as floods and droughts. These strategies, in turn, require scenarios and modeling approaches which have emerged as key scientific tools to estimate future hydrologic conditions.
