Contemporary understanding of the impacts climate change on global drought characteristics (e.g., intensities, extents) is still limited and not well understood. This knowledge critical because projected changes in are expected to impact future water availability as influence decisions how resources allocated. The main aim this study improve (extents duration) Anthropocene where rapid environment caused by composite human activities change. Multi-scale earth observation data (1980−2020)...
Abstract Understanding how droughts are characterized, propagated, and projected, particularly multivariate droughts, is necessary to explain the variability changes in drought characteristics. This study aims understand multimodel global monitoring, propagation, projection by utilizing a standardized index (MSDI) during historical (1959–2014) future (2045–2100) periods under two socioeconomic pathways SSPs (370 585), derived from bias‐corrected Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6...
Climate change could exacerbate extreme climate events. This study investigated the global and continental representations of fourteen multisectoral indices during historical (1979-2014), near future (2025-2060) far (2065-2100) periods under two emission scenarios, in eleven Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) General Circulation Models (GCM). We ranked GCMs based on five metrics centred their temporal spatial performances. Most models followed reference pattern period. MPI-ESM best...
Urban aquifers are experiencing increasing pressures from climate change, land-use and abstraction, consequently, altering groundwater levels threatening sustainable water availability, consumption, utilization. Sustainability in such areas requires the adaptation of resources to these stressors. Consequently, this research made projections about future climate, land use, examines how drives will affect levels, then proposes strategies reduce impact on Lahore’s resources. The objectives...
Management of the freshwater resources in a sustained manner requires information and understanding surface water hydrology streamflow is key importance this nexus. This study evaluates performance eight different precipitation products (APHRODITE, CHRS CCS, CDR, CHIRPS, CPC Global, GPCC, GPCP, PERSIANN) for prediction two sub-catchments (Chirah Dhoke Pathan) data-scarce Soan River Basin (SRB) Pakistan. A modified version hydrological model HBV (Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenbalansavdelning)...
Abstract This study investigates changes in the hydrologic regime of Chitral River, Hindukush–Karakoram–Himalayan (HKH) region, Pakistan. Different statistically based methods were used to assess climate change-induced alterations that can possibly impact aquatic habitat region. The hydrological model Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenbalansavdelning (HBV) was calibrated, validated, and applied predict streamflow River basin. HBV forced with ensemble four general circulation models under different...
The global hydrological cycle is vulnerable to changing climatic conditions, especially in developing regions, which lack abundant resources and management of freshwater resources. This study evaluates the impacts climate change on regime Chirah Dhoke Pathan sub catchments Soan River Basin (SRB), Pakistan, by using models included NEX-GDDP dataset model HBV-light. After proper calibration validation, latter forced with inputs simulate a historic future (under RCP 4.5 8.5 emission scenarios)...
This work evaluates the suitability of linear scaling (LS) and empirical quantile mapping (EQM) bias correction methods to generate present future hydrometeorological variables (precipitation, temperature, streamflow) over Chitral River Basin, in Hindukush region Pakistan. In particular, LS EQM are applied correct high-resolution statistically downscaled dataset, NEX-GDDP, which comprises 21 state-of-the-art general circulation models (GCMs) from coupled model intercomparison project phase 5...
Subsistence of freshwater resources at high altitude regions has remained a paradox for stakeholder communities both regional and global levels. To address such an issue, Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenbalansavdelning Light (hereafter HBV) model was used to assess hydro-meteorological shifts triggered under climate change scenarios in snow dominant region Chitral river basin. The performed well during calibration validation periods with Nash Sutcliffe Efficiency values 0.91 0.81 respectively on...
Knowledge of projection and attribution streamflow composition in rain snow fed glaciated catchments has been vital significance to a spectrum stakeholder communities. Accordingly, assessment contributed share rain, glacier downstream flow regime snowy catchment area Chitral River Basin (CRB) historical projected periods was made this study. HBV-Light hydrological model (hereafter HBV) used identify temporal variation response alterations hydro-meteorological parameters over the CRB. The HBV...
Abstract. The dissimilarity-based methods to perform prediction of flow regimes in ungauged basins have become quite popular the recent times. Generally, these use geomorphological and climatic characteristics translate their hydrological properties. However, been criticized for using selective basin data entire study area. Incase selected descriptors are not strongly related properties considered basin; as opposed general perception, a considerable magnitude localized error may be...
Abstract This study examined the interaction between land use cover (LULC) dynamics and thermal stress distribution using universal comfort index (UTCI) different LULC classifications under two Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (i.e., SSP 370 585) climate scenarios for historical (1959–2014) future period (2045–2100). The moderate to strong cold in annual winter climatology midlatitudes was replaced by no summer, while summertime ranged from...
