37 Climate Projections for 21 st Century

38 Decadal Mean Precipitation (mm) Change RCP 4.5 Decadal Mean Precipitation (mm) Change RCP 4.5

39 Expected Change in Mean annual cycle of monthly temperature ( ◦ C) and rainfall (mm/day) compared with 1981-2010 Average

40 CONCLUSION All indicators suggest that water cycle variability will be the greatest challenge in changing climate Too much water and too little water

41 Way Forward Improvement of Observation NetworkImprovement of Observation Network Forests can reverse the climate change process even under global warmingForests can reverse the climate change process even under global warming Enhance water storageEnhance water storage Coordination among Research GroupsCoordination among Research Groups Establishment of Water Environment ForumEstablishment of Water Environment Forum Scientific research on future of water resources must become part of policy formulationScientific research on future of water resources must become part of policy formulation Mobilization of AcademiaMobilization of Academia
