<Para ID="Par1">We assessed the future irrigation demand of the South Saskatchewan River Basin (SSRB) of Alberta subjected to combined impact of climate change and El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) using the Irrigation District Model (IDM) of Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development. Based on the...</para>

<Para ID="Par1">The impact of climate change on water availability in two river basins located in central Canada is investigated. Several statistical downscaling methods are used to generate temperature and precipitation scenarios from the third-generation Canadian Coupled General Circulation Model, forced with...</para>

<Para ID="Par1">This study assesses the performance of hydropower production by reservoirs with and without climate change impacts on river discharge. The case study of this research includes the Khersan 1, Karoon 4, and Karoon 3 reservoirs in Iran. The HADCM3 climate model with A2 greenhouse gas emission...</para>

<Para ID="Par1">In this study, an iterative framework for robust reclaimed wastewater allocation (IFRWA) was developed to consider multiple climate change scenarios using multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods. Each iteration begins with the assumption that an additional unit of water quantity is...</para>

<Para ID="Par1">To guarantee a safe flood defence in a changing environment, the adaptation to climate change needs to be considered in the design of river dikes. However, the large uncertainty in the projections of future climate leads to varied estimations of future flood probability. How to cope with the...</para>

<Para ID="Par1">The coastal aquifer salinization is an urgent problem caused by groundwater resources overexploitation and climate change. This phenomenon is enhanced in areas lying below the sea level, like the polders in the Netherlands or the Po River lowland in Italy. In these reclaimed lands the saltwater...</para>

<Para ID="Par1">The overdevelopment of urban area has decreased the city’s ground permeability and increased its surface runoff. Moreover, the urban area existing flood control system meets the high risk and new challenge for water resource management due to global warming and climate change. A huge idle raft...</para>

<Para ID="Par1">The ability of water managers to maintain adequate supplies in coming decades depends, in part, on future weather conditions, as climate change has the potential to alter river flows from their current values, possibly rendering them unable to meet demand. Reliable climate projections are...</para>

This paper considers aspects of environmental social science research in the UK and explores an obvious bias towards the development of instruments to manage demand as an adaptation to climate change, and consequently the predominance of interest in the customer from a demand-side perspective....
