Comprehensive hydrologic assessment of impacts of climate change on water resources in Sone river basin	16 Dec 2024	Water resources, clamate change, hydrology	The greatest challenge confronting hydrologists today is to understand and model land surface-atmosphere interactions at various spatial scales within the framework of global climate change studies. Global climate change is induced by the emission of an increased level of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, thereby affecting the pattern of precipitation and the danger of changing the runoff potential resulting in extreme floods and droughts (Arnell, 2002). Climate change is also projected to affect the amount of runoff, recharge and evapotranspiration, thus affecting water availability for both humans and ecosystem services. The study of the effects of climate change on the hydrological regime of a river basin assumes greater significance due to the phenomenal increase in demand for water to meet the requirements of the rising population, intensifying agriculture and industrial activities. In recent years, the increase in population in urban and peri-urban areas and climatic changes due to anthropogenic activities have increased pressures on the amount and quality of water resources. However, the availability of water is decreasing due to changing patterns of local climate, reduced storage areas and altered land use/land cover (LU/LC) patterns in any region. In terms of the changed frequency and intensity of rainfall, the modified regional rainfall pattern has reduced the temporal availability of regional water when required. Though inferred to the changing climate, this change in the regional hydrologic process also has an impact on man-made changes in LU/LC patterns in the past. In this backdrop, the Ministry of Jal Shakti, Govt. of India, has formulated National Water Mission (NWM) to meet challenges associated with the impacts of climate change on the water resources of India. This mission's first and foremost objective is to conduct basin-wise studies, particularly for downscaling plausible future climate scenarios to basin/sub-basin scale and generating the corresponding probable hydrological scenarios to assess stress on water resources in the study areas. Researchers use the predictions made on the future scenarios through the region level downscaling to quantify the impacts of climate change on water resources. The current study is motivated to assess the impact of climate change on meteorological processes and streamflows in the Sone river basin. Understanding the implications of projected climate change on the vulnerable resources would be useful to devise better strategies for management and conservation of water resources in the basin for coping with projected future droughts and for assessing the risk associated with water resources infrastructure to cope with projected plausible future floods in the river basin. The regional climate change impact assessment and any subsequent decision-making process to derive future water policies should involve the following: i. Uncertainties in General Circulation Model (GCM) projections ii. Regional climate change modeling iii. Hydrologic modeling and assessment of land use/ land cover changes iv.
