The annual water balance is an important indicator of the hydrologic function and utility of a watershed, and yet there has been relatively sparse research of the special considerations that control the yearly partition of precipitation in a Mediterranean climate (MC) like that of California. In particular, there is a gap in empirical characterization of the annual water balance over a broad collection of watersheds spanning the diverse climate and landscape conditions of the state. This research develops and applies a top-down, parsimonious, physically interpretable water balance model that explicitly accounts for seasonality, a critical climate factor for MC regions. The research was motivated by the observation of a straightforward, linear relationship between total annual precipitation and streamflow for watersheds in the Russian River Basin of northern California. A dataset of monthly water balance variables was developed to meet the criteria of accurate estimations, geographic contiguity, and temporal longevity, continuity, and consistency. Inspection of the long-term water balance for 159 watersheds in the state led to a more general form of the precipitation-streamflow relationship, a segmented linear model. Model parameters were estimated for each watershed via regression of water balance observations using a structural probabilistic model that was resilient to uncertainties in the input data. Model parameter estimates displayed aggregate clustering by prevailing wetness conditions, as well as geographic regionalization. The average predictive uncertainty for gaged watersheds ranged from 50 to 125 mm per year in terms of area-normalized streamflow. Modeled streamflow residuals were used to evaluate historical changes in the water balance, revealing a decreasing trend in the streamflow of most California watersheds during the onset of the climate change era, controlling for precipitation. Sensitivity analysis showed that changes in the seasonality of precipitation and potential evapotranspiration have an order-of-magnitude larger impact on the water balance relative to other climate drivers. Spatial proximity correlation and watershed feature regression both showed promise as methods for estimation of model parameters in ungaged watersheds. The model was also contextualized with regards to the influential Budyko curve. This research demonstrated that a parsimonious and interpretable model was capable of describing the annual water balance for the diverse hydrologic conditions across California. By focusing on the analysis of many watersheds over long timeframes it was possible to characterize and interpret broad trends and patterns that influence the water balance in MC regions.

Hydrology and Global Environmental Change presents the hydrological contribution to, and consequences of, global environmental change. Assuming little or no prior knowledge on the part of the reader, the book looks at the main processes of global environmental change - global scale processes, large regional processes, repetitive processes - and how the hydrological cycle, processes and regimes impact on GEC and vice-versa.

This text is the first international and comprehensive discussion of the impacts of climatic fluctuations and climate change on water resources management. The book presents an overview of the impacts of climatic change/fluctuations on a wide variety of water resources sectors including river runoff, water quality, water temperature, water use and demand, reservoir management and water resource planning and management. The book is unique in that it then presents a series of case studies to both demonstrate the application of climate change impact assessment methodologies and to provide insights to catchment, river basin, and national scale impacts of climate change/fluctuations on the water resources of Africa, Europe, and North America. Audience: Researchers, scholars and students of hydrology and water management who are concerned with the issues of climate change as well as the climate change impact assessment community.

Water balance is one of the techniques in modern climatic and hydrological studies, in which the climatic elements such as solar radiation, temperature and rainfall are used to evaluate various hydrological elements namely water need, water supply, soil moisture storage, water surplus and water deficit of a region. These water balance elements enable to evaluate a proper agricultural planning of that area. In addition, water balance is a single tool with multiple applications which helps in assessing normal climate of a particular region and its stability, identification of extreme wet and dry years, identification of drought years based on their intensity, duration and spatial spread and assessment of crop suitability of the region. Water balance is a useful tool for the preparation of crop calendar of a particular region and suggestive changes in cropping pattern based on the existing moisture status conditions.

Beginning with an overview of data and concepts developed in the EU-project HABIT-CHANGE, this book addresses the need for sharing knowledge and experience in the field of biodiversity conservation and climate change. There is an urgent need to build capacity in protected areas to monitor, assess, manage and report the effects of climate change and their interaction with other pressures. The contributors identify barriers to the adaptation of conservation management, such as the mismatch between planning reality and the decision context at site level. Short and vivid descriptions of case studies, drawn from investigation areas all over Central and Eastern Europe, illustrate both the local impacts of climate change and their consequences for future management. These focus on ecosystems most vulnerable to changes in climatic conditions, including alpine areas, wetlands, forests, lowland grasslands and coastal areas. The case studies demonstrate the application of adaptation strategies in protected areas like National Parks, Biosphere Reserves and Natural Parks, and reflect the potential benefits as well as existing obstacles. A general section provides the necessary background information on climate trends and their effects on abiotic and biotic components. Often, the parties to policy change and conservation management, including managers, land users and stakeholders, lack both expertise and incentives to undertake adaptation activities. The authors recognise that achieving the needed changes in behavior – habit – is as much a social learning process as a matter of science-based procedure. They describe the implementation of modeling, impact assessment and monitoring of climate conditions, and show how the results can support efforts to increase stakeholder involvement in local adaptation strategies. The book concludes by pointing out the need for more work to communicate the cross-sectoral nature of biodiversity protection, the value of well-informed planning in the long-term process of adaptation, the definition of acceptable change, and the motivational value of exchanging experience and examples of good practice.
