The Great Lakes with 20% of the world’s fresh water, in addition to meeting the ecological needs, provide municipal, irrigation, industrial and commercial water supplies to about 45 million people, including 11 million on the Canadian side. However, the climate change is projected to affect the water availability and the water quality regimes of the region. Therefore, the assessment of climate change impact on water resources in the Great Lakes basin is of paramount socioeconomic importance.

拥有世界20%淡水的五大湖，除了满足生态需求外，还为约4500万人提供市政、灌溉、工业和商业用水，其中包括加拿大一侧的1100万人。然而，气候变化预计将影响该区域的水供应和水质状况。因此，评估气候变化对五大湖流域水资源的影响具有极其重要的社会经济意义。
