5. CLIMATE CHANGE RISKS People Perception Why Water Resources
IPCC (intergovernmental panel on climate change) concludes that so far water resource issue have not been adequately addressed in climate change analyses and climate policy formulations
climate change problems have not adequately dealt in water resources analysis, management and policy formulations
Water its availability and quality will be the main pressure and issues for, societies and environment under climate change
It is yet difficult to project and identify the specific regional impacts with any precision and uncertainty remains the key constraint and major challenge, both, in formulating and implementing policies related to adaptation
People Perception
Movement to higher altitude of apple orchard
Loss of various tree species
Drying of traditional water sources
Increased vulnerability of crops due to drought and delay in planting.
Hopper burn in rice was first reported in the Kangra valley during 2008

6. Observed Changes Climate Assessment
19 Glaciers in Baspa were monitored during 1962 to 2001
Glacier are receding and 19% deglaciation was observed
Glacier around 5000 meter showed 24% loss as compared with 14% loss above 5400 meter.
Mean glacier terminus has moved vertically 88 meter.
Climate Assessment
Average air temperature were found to be 0.7 to 2.4 degree C higher then that in 1980s as against global average 0.5 degree C
Trend indicate an increase of .06 degree C per year of air temperature
Rainfall data over period 1976 to 2006 shows increasing trends of rain fall in Lahual Spiti, Chamba and Kangra Distt. , but decreasing trends in Solan and Kinnaur.
Crops are showing shorter periods of flowering and maturity

7. INDICATIVE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON WATER RESOURCES
Indicator
Broad impacts on Sector
Adaptation
Water resources
Agri./Irrigation
Others
Heavy rains.
Increased run off and reduced ground water recharge.
Damage to crops and increased soil erosion.
Increase sedimentation effects on hydropower and portable water.
Soil and water conservation and ground water management.
Water shortage/Droughts.
Draying up of springs and minor tributaries .
Impact on Rain fed cropping.
Loss of some perennial sources of potable water.
Soil and water conservation, water harvesting, improved agriculture technologies ,new seed verities including agro forestry . Improved irrigation and water supply efficiencies.
Reduced level of precipitations as snow.
Increased winter season runoff.
Reduced dry season flows to neighboring states.
Impact on Irrigation and water supply. Water schemes in snow-fed rivers and streams would have reduced summer flows.
Higher winter rainfall will increase erosion of soil and loss of some perennial sources.
Soil and water conservation. Adjustments in cropping schedules.

8. Loss of glacier volumes.
Initially increased dry season flows. Long term reduced dry season flows to neighboring states.
Uncertainty in supply of irrigation, water and hydropower.
Loss of some perennial sources of portable water. Long term reduced hydroelectric power, irrigation and water supply.
Improvements in irrigation and water supply efficiency.
Earlier snow melt.
Increased spring flows and reduced summer flows.
Irrigation schemes in snow-fed rivers would have reduced summer flows.
Loss of some perennial sources of portable water and irrigation.
Increased temperature.
Increased river and lake temperatures.
Changes in suitability of crops at different altitudes-eg. Apples, Possible impact on aquaculture.
Changes in aquatic ecologies-including balance of phytoplankton/zooplankton balances in rivers and water bodies. Increased bacteria.
Estimation of temperature changes and impact in rivers and lakes.

9. PARADIGM SHIFT POTENTIAL
Shift in cropping pattern from traditional to vegetables
Increase in livelihood of women by raising nurseries
From large watershed approach to small watershed approach
End to end protection of entire water channel
Focus on creation of pondage, other structures to support & protect water harvested
Focus on community led operation and maintenance
Integrated farming approach
Enhanced livelihood linked to sustainability of water sources

10. BACKGROUND INCREASED VULNERABILITY OF HP TO CLIMATE CHANGE
NASA data indicates a foot per year drop in ground water in Haryana, Punjab ,Rajasthan and Delhi.
Drying of spring sources
Decreasing discharge in streams/water sources of IPH
Increasing number of schemes based on major rivers
Decreasing trend of snowfall to 82.7 mm annually in entire Sutlej Basin
Climate parameter reveals increasing trends of mean annual temperature in all agro climatic zones
Alarming projection of impact on crop productivity
Future projection of soil nutrients viz. N, P, K and organic carbon will not be favorable.
Projection of organic carbon will be in increasing trend.
Projection of N, P, K, and pH showed decreasing trends.
