2 Availability of water for agriculture in the coming decades depends not only on changing climate, but also on population, economic development, and technology Linking Regional Water Supplies and Water Demands

3 Water Availability: Five International Case Studies Rosenzweig et al., 1999, 2001 Linking a suite of models in order to improve projections of water availability, by taking potential changes in both water supply and demand into account.

The ratios (Kc) between simulated and actual crop ET are used to estimate regional water demand with CROPWAT. Irrigation demand is adjusted by a regional irrigation efficiency. Crop water demand model interactions

6 Water supply calculated using WATBAL PET calculation by Priestley-Taylor (ensuring consistency with the crop models WATBAL is run for 50 yrs of climate change and variability scenarios, using SAMS WG.

7 Working with Multiple Models: Consistency at different Spatial Scales

8 Balance of water supply and demand is undertaken in the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) model. Population and GDP drivers are used to calculate future industrial, municipal, and domestic water use, and forecast increases in irrigation areas. (UN population forecasts and economic forecasts of The Netherlands Central Planning Bureau.) WEAP schematic for the water regions in the US Corn Belt Stockholm Environment Institute, 1997 Boston, MA

10 Possible decadal surprises Change in seasonality Key Water Resource Results Strzepek et al., 1999

11  Demand to supply ratio (environmental stress) measures degree of economic development and impacts on ecosystems.  If the demand to supply ratio is low, then there is ample water for ecosystem services. Projected change in environmental stress for the Danube water regions Medium stress High stress Low stress No stress Reference 1995 Reference 2010 GISS 2010GISS 2020 Reference 2020
