Past and future variability in the hydrological regime of the Koshi Basin, Nepal

摘要: AbstractPlanning adaptation strategies in response to climate change (CC) can be a daunting task, especially regions such as the Koshi Basin Himalayas, where CC impacts are still uncertain. This paper recommends targeting by focusing on changes variability between past and future climates at smaller scales. The Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration (IHA) used for analysis. results show: (a) higher maximum precipitation during monsoon post-monsoon, lower winter; (b) increase flows Trans-mountain region all seasons, except monsoon; (c) post-monsoon routed flow volumes; (d) decrease winter volumes regions, region; (e) frequency high peak baseflows.
