Water resource systems have benefited both people and their economies for many
centuries. The services provided by such systems are multiple. Yet in many regions of the …

Increasingly, climate change impact assessments rely directly on climate models.
Assessments of future water security depend in part on how the land model components in …

Traditional, mainstream definitions of drought describe it as deficit in water‐related variables
or water‐dependent activities (eg, precipitation, soil moisture, surface and groundwater …

The issues of downscaling the results from global climate models (GCMs) to a scale relevant
for hydrological impact studies are examined. GCM outputs, typically at a spatial resolution …

The objective of this study is to cross‐validate 34 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project
Phase 5 (CMIP5) historical simulations of precipitation against the Global Precipitation …

The terrestrial phase of the water cycle can be seriously impacted by water management
and human water use behavior (eg, reservoir operation, and irrigation withdrawals). Here …

Socioeconomic drought broadly refers to conditions whereby the water supply cannot satisfy
the demand. Most previous studies describe droughts based on large‐scale meteorological …

This article presents a methodology for planning new water resources infrastructure
investments and operating strategies in a world of climate change uncertainty. It combines a …

The implications of global warming for the performance of six US water resource systems
are evaluated. The six case study sites represent a range of geographic and hydrologic, as …

During the last decade, there have been increasing concerns over water resource drought in
northern England, brought about by the 1995 Yorkshire drought with an estimated 5‐month …
