Modelling Of Future Flood Risk Across Canada Under Climate Change, Ayushi Gaur
Modelling Of Future Flood Risk Across Canada Under Climate Change, Ayushi Gaur
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Climate change has induced changes in key climate variables and hydrological cycle in Canada. In this study, future runoff projections made by 21 GCMs following four Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) are used as inputs into a macro-scaled hydrodynamic model: CaMa-Flood to simulate 25 km resolution daily streamflow across Canada for historical (1961-2005) and future (2061-2100) time-periods. Future changes in flood-hazard as a consequence of changes in flooding frequencies of historical 100-year and 250-year return period flood events, and changes in the month of occurrence of extreme flows are analyzed. Changes in flood risk at Canada’s 100 most populous cities and …
Uncertainty Modeling In The Assessment Of Climate Change Impacts On Water Resources Management, Sohom Mandal
Uncertainty Modeling In The Assessment Of Climate Change Impacts On Water Resources Management, Sohom Mandal
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Climate change has significant impacts on water resource systems. The objective of this study is to assess climate change impacts on water resource management. The methodology includes (a) the assessment of uncertainty introduced by choice of precipitation downscaling methods; (b) uncertainty assessment and quantification of the impact of climate change on projected streamflow; and (c) uncertainty in and impact of climate change on the management of reservoirs used for hydropower production. The assessment is conducted for two future time periods (2036 to 2065 and 2066 to 2095). The study area, Campbell River basin, British Columbia, Canada, consists of three reservoirs …
