IMPLICATIONS OF CLIMATE CHANGE FOR RIVER BASIN WATER MANAGEMENT

David Meerbach, Janusz Kindler, Peter Shanahan, Kenneth Strzepek , The World Bank BackgroundBackground

► Investments: Sava Waterway Rehabilitation Project, BiH, Croatia and Serbia Irrigation Projects, Croatia Inland Waters – what about the climate? ► World Bank priority - various initiatives ► ESW SE Europe Water and Climate Adaptation Project ► Objective s  to inform government policy and the development community on approaches to adapt water resources management, planning and operations to the forecasted impact of climate change .  to enhance the climate resilience of selected water sector investments and to stimulate debate among key stakeholders in the water resurces sector in SEE on climate -related impacts and adaptation strategies.

► WATCAP is envisaged to consist of:  (i) a watershed or sub -basin characterization;  (ii) an impact/risk assessment for a number of scenarios, identifying threats and opportunities related to climate change; and  (iii) appraisal of a number of scenarios with alternatives for adaptive management actio MethodologyMethodology –– learninglearning --byby --doingdoing CurrentCurrent statusstatus

► Current Analysis on Climate Change  Regional models in development, suitable to inform water management planning and have river basin level analysis  Regional models only for limited number of GCMs, not covering all range ► Further work: • Select a set of GCMs that span the range of CC impacts for SRB  Possibly dynamic downscaling of selected GCM results over the SRB ► Use University of Belgrade Eta Regional Climate model ► Use HADLEY Centre PRECIS Regional Climate model at HM Serbia  Prepare a complete set of GCM and RCM climate change scenarios for the SRB jointly with local historic climate data WaterWater andand ClimateClimate AdaptationAdaptation World Bank Anchor
