| Session Description | Climate and land use around the world is changing rapidly than expected. This create stress on water availability. Increasing atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations lead to global warming and an intensification of the water cycle as well as increase in population is forcing us to maximum utilization of land and make change in land use. Hence, there is need for decision makers to better under the science, impacts, and consequences of changing climate and land use on hydrology. In this session, studies related but not limited to the following questions are welcome: -What advances have we made in study related to Impact of changing climate and land use on hydrology? -what are the bottlenecks that hinder decision makerin taking decisions based on Impact of changing climate and land use on hydrology studies?. -Case studies of local to regional scale about Impact of changing climate and land use on Hydrology - what are the current and future challenges in handling of climate change and land use change data and their uncertainty for the forcing of hydrological models? -what advances have we made in dealing with uncertainty associated in study of Impact of changing climate and land use on hydrology and how useful are they to decision makers? |
