Abstract
The present study tries to highlight the need of a medium which can represent the status of hydropower plants under changed climatic scenario. The medium was made to be logical and cognitive. In this regard the advantages of Analytical Hierarchy Process and Group Method of Data Handling was applied. The results from the performance metrics and sensitivity analysis confirms about the reliability of the model which were selected from 28 different configurations developed to predict the same output. The climatic impact on six different hydropower plants were also analyzed with the help of the indicator. It was found that power plants in Australia was the most and the plant in Ghana was the least vulnerable to climate change.
