Book Description

Climate change cannot be stopped. But we can prepare ourselves for the consequences. Climate change leads not only to higher temperatures, but also to changes in precipitation both in summer and in winter. The International Commission for the Hydrology of the Rhine Basin (CHR) has in the past often concerned itself with the subject of climate change and its impact on water resources. The rising trend of principal climate variables such as temperature requires a new assessment of the consequences and risks for water resources management.
