Abstract The hydrological response to climate change in mountainous basins manifests itself at varying spatial and temporal scales, ranging from catchment large river basin scale sub‐daily decade century scale. To robustly assess the 21st impact for hydrology entire High Mountain Asia (HMA) a wide range of we use high resolution cryospheric‐hydrological model covering 15 upstream HMA quantify compound effects future changes precipitation temperature based on projections Coupled Model...
Future hydrological extremes, such as floods and droughts, may pose serious threats for the livelihoods in upstream domains of Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra. For this reason, impacts climate change on future extremes is investigated these river basins. We use a fully-distributed cryospheric-hydrological model to simulate current fluxes force with an ensemble 8 downscaled General Circulation Models (GCMs) that are selected from RCP4.5 RCP8.5 scenarios. The calibrated observed daily discharge...
Many winter deep low-pressure systems passing over Western Europe have the potential to induce significant storm surge levels along coast of North Sea. The accompanying frontal lead large rainfall amounts, which can result in river discharges exceeding critical thresholds. risk disruptive societal impact increases strongly if runoff and storm-surge peak occur near-simultaneously. For Rhine catchment Dutch coastal area, existing studies suggest that no such relation is present at time lags...
Abstract Third Pole natural cascade alpine lakes (NCALs) are exceptionally sensitive to climate change, yet the underlying cryosphere-hydrological processes and associated societal impacts largely unknown. Here, with a state-of-the-art cryosphere-hydrology-lake-dam model, we quantified notable high-mountain Hoh-Xil NCALs basin (including Lakes Zonag, Kusai, Hedin Noel, Yanhu, from upstream downstream) formed by Lake Zonag outburst in September 2011. We demonstrate that long-term increased...
Abstract The climate of High Mountain Asia (HMA) has changed in recent decades. While the temperature is consistently increasing at a higher rate than global warming rate, precipitation changes are inconsistent, with substantial temporal and spatial variation. Climate will have enormous consequences for hydroclimatic extremes. For altitudes HMA, which significant source water large rivers Asia, often trends calculated using limited number situ observations mainly observed valleys. This study...
Spatio-temporal variation of hydrological processes that have a strong lagged autocorrelation (memory), such as soil moisture, snow accumulation and the antecedent hydro-climatic conditions, significantly impact peaks flood waves. Ignoring these memory leads to biased estimates floods high river levels are sensitive occurrence compounding hydro-meteorological processes. Here, we investigate role in meteorological systems at different temporal scales for Rhine basin. We simulate regime basin...

A comprehensive assessment of hydropower resource potential considering factors beyond technical and financial parameters is missing for the upper Indus basin (UIB). Our framework takes a systems approach to quantify theoretical sustainable by successively natural, technical, financial, anthropogenic, environmental, geo-hazard risk constraints on at individual sites as well basin-scale. Theoretical UIB 1564 TWh/yr 500-m resolution. Across three energy focus scenarios, our cost-minimization...
Introduction Despite ambitious plans to quadruple hydropower generation in the Indus basin, a quantitative assessment of impact climate change on availability basin is missing. To address this gap, we combine downscaled CMIP6 projections with Hydropower Potential Exploration (HyPE) model quantify future potential available upper basin. Methods HyPE uses spatial cost-minimization framework evaluate four classes potential, namely theoretical, technical, financial and sustainable, considering...
The Syr Darya River Basin is a transboundary glacier-fed river system, supporting the livelihoods of millions people across Central Asia. sustainable allocation water resources in this basin has become pressing concern due to increasing demands coupled with environmental degradation and climate uncertainty. Consequently, developing robust mechanisms that acknowledge Water-Energy-Food-Environment-Nexus (WEFE) vital for sustaining human ecosystem needs. This study scrutinizes relationship...
With steep elevation gradients and an abundance of water, Nepal is one the leading countries in hydropower capacity. This potential largely unutilised; representing a significant untapped renewable energy resource that could help achieve its emissions target improve security. However, future climate projections suggest changes discharge seasonality, which will impact potential. Hence, we provide estimate current theoretical four large basins Nepal, namely Mahakali, Karnali, Gandaki, Koshi....
The Karnali basin (40,000 sq km) in western Nepal is a pristine river with large potential for the development of hydropower and irrigation. sustains biodiversity national parks downstream supports livelihoods thousands people. Any changes flow regime may therefore have far reaching consequences. This study focuses on analyzing hydrological response to (multi-year) droughts. objective understand how long storages system, e.g. glaciers, snow, ground soil water can buffer prolonged model SPHY,...
In recent decades, the existence of a relationship between snow cover on Tibetan Plateau (TP) and East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) rainfall has been emphasized. According to recently published studies this snow-monsoon experienced shift after 1990. Although changing studied, causes interdecadal changes remain unclear. This study assesses associations TP spring with EASM before 1990 explores what possible mechanisms could be responsible for changes. Correlation composite analyses were used...
<p>Droughts have directly affected at least 1.5 billion people in the last century, generating economic losses up to $124 billion. They are a recurrent, creeping meteorological hazard that may endanger water and food security of large regions. The frequency severity droughts expected increase with climate change, especially Africa, Central America, also Europe where annual multiply by 7 represent 2 times size European economy medium-long...
<p>Considering the lack of a comprehensive assessement hydropower potential in Upper Indus basin, we developed and implemented systematic framework to explore four different classes potential. Our uses high-resolution discharge generated by coupled cryosphere-hydrology model as bio-physical boundary conditions estimate theoretical Thereafter, diverse context-specific constraints are stepwise technical, economic sustainable The successive integrate considerations for various...
Climate change significantly impacts hydrological systems resulting in hydropower generation uncertainties. In this study, a high-resolution glacio-hydrological model is coupled with an hourly-resolution power grid to evaluate the climate influences on across Nepal. Four future scenarios namely Cold-Dry, Warm-Dry, Cold-Wet, and Warm-Wet are developed compare changes water availability optimal system historical climate. The total flow increases for wet (+11.4% under Cold-Wet Koshi basin),...
