Abstract
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, General Circulation Models (GCMs) have been predicting that global warming will cause significant changes in temperature and rainfall patterns and, by implication, in regional water balances, overflows and resources. Transforming the ‘climatic scenarios’ produced by these GCMs into estimates of regional and ultimately catchment-scale water balances and runoff is a major concern of this book.
