Water Resources Planning Principles and Evaluation Criteria for Climate Change: Summary and Conclusie, these challenges are summarized and conceptual issues surrounding strategies for adapting water planning and project evaluation practices to this prospect are examined. The six-step planning process detailed in the . (P&G) is described; its ability to incorporate consideration of and responses to

Section 3 sets out what the IPCC chapter on discounting (IPCC, 1996c, ch. 4) describes as the descriptive approach versus the prescriptive approach to choosing a discount rate. It examines the rat

Given the current capabilities of climate models, and the likelihood that the uncertainty associated with long-term climate model forecasts will remain high for some years to come, the water resources planning community may find it impractical t

Stochastic Hydrology in the Context of Climate Changelow oscillations. Slow oscillations can be mimicked by persistence in stationary processes. It is time to examine the relative merits of the assumptions of stationarity and nonstationarity in the operational context of water management.

Ecosystem Evaluation, Climate Change and Water Resources Planning changes of global warming and second by changes in the hydrologic regime. Perhaps as much as any of the issues dealt with in this issue, the evaluation of ecosystems is linked to fundamental questions of criteria as well as to the details of the Federal environmental planning system. That system is

Adapting to Climate Impacts on the Supply and Demand for Water storm extremes. Integrated river basin management can provide cost-effective increases in reliable supplies in the event of greenhouse warming. With water becoming scarcer and susceptible to variations and changes in the climate, demand management is critical for balancing future demands with suppl
