Title：Modeling the impacts of climate change on water resources

Abstract：
As the Earth’s climate is predicted to change significantly in terms of warmer temperature and higher precipitation extremes during this century, accurate assessments of spatial and temporal variation in future streamflow in response to climate change are critical for water resources management and the conservation of aquatic ecosystems. Both streamflow and streamflow variation are the primary variables influencing the survival, growth, and reproduction of aquatic species. The coupling of hydrological models with future projected global climate models makes the assessment of the potential impacts of climate changes on water resources possible. In this study, the changes in return periods of future hydrological extremes including floods and droughts are also explored. The study site is located in Illinois River watershed, Illinois, USA.
