Description

The objective of the study is to obtain information on the climate change effects on the annual runoff, the seasonal runoff pattern, the snow storage and if possible, on the changes in extremes as floods and droughts for the Chilean catchment in the Tinguiririca river. Furthermore, information on the uncertainties in the estimated changes resulting from the choices of GCMs, RCMs, hydrological model and emission scenario will be obtained.
